Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Orion SkyView Pro 127mm Maksutov-Cassegrain TelescopeCustomer Review: WARNING: Does NOT INCLUDE the goto mount in the photo!! Summary: 5 Stars
The main photo shows the SkyView Pro mount with the optional GOTO hand controllers and motors. These additional features are NOT included for the price noted here.
I have this scope and it works well. But if you want the GOTO capability, expect to pay about $450 more.
Description of Orion SkyView Pro 127mm Maksutov-Cassegrain TelescopeGiven the popularity of our 127mm Mak, it's only natural that we offer it with the best new mid-size equatorial mount on the market, the SkyView Pro. It is a telescope for the enthusiast who appreciates the practicality of a compact scope, yet wants the best features and performance available. In a market flooded with "Maks for dummies," replete with plastic parts and with gadgetry that promises more than it delivers, it's nice to know you can still get a telescope that puts quality above all else for a terrific price. The SVP 127's 5" Maksutov-Cassegrain optics pull in plenty of light for views of deep-sky gems. And with its focal length of 1540mm, you can't beat it for high-magnification study of the lunar surface and planets. Not bad for a tube assembly that's just 14.5" long. The SVP EQ mount is as fluid in its motions as it is solid in its stance. A mount worthy of the avid observer.
