SKY WATCHER BK MAK127 WITH EQ3-NEQ5 PRO WIFI SYNSCAN GOTO WITHOUT REMOTE
This package pairs the Sky-Watcher BK MAK127 OTAW optical tube with an EQ3 Pro computerized German equatorial mount. It is aimed at high-contrast lunar and planetary observation, double stars and compact tracked setups. Three checked images show the correct black 127 mm tube, white EQ3-class mount, Wifi synscan module, counterweights and steel tripod. The component MPN is SW-3004 + SW-4133.
127 mm Maksutov-Cassegrain OTA
The telescope has 127 mm aperture, 1500 mm focal length and f/12 focal ratio. Its compact folded optical path and closed tube suit high-power work while protecting the mirrors from dust. The rear opening is 1.25 inch with a 2-inch adapter, and the manufacturer specifies a 2-inch 90-degree diagonal with 1.25-inch adapter plus a 28 mm LET eyepiece for the OTAW configuration. Tube dimensions are approximately 14 × 33 cm and tube weight is about 5 kg.
EQ3 Pro SynScan GoTo wireless without remote, your mobile act as remote
The German equatorial mount has a rated payload of 5.5 kg. Its SynScan software provides automatic access to more than 42900 objects after polar setup and alignment. Dual 1.8-degree stepper motors with 32 microsteps slew at up to 3.4 degrees per second. Selectable guiding rates are 0.25×, 0.50×, 0.75× and 1×, and periodic error correction is supported. Payload is a maximum rating; imaging performance depends strongly on balance, wind, focal length and guiding.
Tripod and counterweight system
The steel tripod uses 1.75-inch legs, adjusts from 85 to 121 cm and weighs about 5.6 kg. Counterweights are listed as 3.42 kg plus 1.8 kg. Before releasing the clutches, install the counterweight shaft and safety stop, balance both axes and confirm that the dovetail is fully clamped. Accurate polar alignment is required for tracking and all exposures remain subject to field rotation and periodic error if setup is incorrect.
