A larger version of the Skymax-102 providing a massive 55% more light-gathering power, and packing an even more powerful punch than its smaller cousin for medium-to-high-power work.

"This is one of the jewels in the Sky-Watcher's crown. Its large enough to produce richly detailed, high-contrast Lunar and Planetary images...The Skymax-127 packs a performance punch with a relatively short cool-down time....For daytime terrestrial use, the instrument is quite capable of focusing down to 8 metres"
