Explore Scientific Sidara Pro 127 — 127mm Mak-Cassegrain Telescope with GoTo Mount

The Maksutov-Cassegrain design folds 1900mm of focal length into a compact package, producing high magnification views. The Explore Scientific Sidara Pro 127 leverages this advantage by placing a 127mm Mak-Cassegrain on the Sidara Pro GoTo mount, creating a high-magnification planetary and lunar powerhouse with fully automated object location and tracking.

At f/15, this optical design is purpose-built for the Moon and planets. The long focal ratio produces high-contrast, sharply focused views of lunar surface detail, Jupiter's atmospheric bands, and Saturn's ring structure. Two included eyepieces (10mm and 25mm) give 190x and 76x, and the 2-inch rack-and-pinion focuser accepts premium eyepieces for future upgrades.

The Sidara Pro GoTo mount provides automated target location and tracking through both the hand controller and SkyAssist smartphone app. Battery-powered operation keeps the entire system self-contained and field-ready. The combination of Mak-Cass optics and GoTo tracking is particularly effective for planetary observation.

The 127mm aperture resolves double stars down to approximately 1 arc-second separation.

Key Features
