The SkyWatcher AZ-Go2 127/1500 MC telescope is an excellent choice for those who value performance, portability, and ease of use, while looking for an affordable alternative. Its compact optical tube, just 35 cm long, and lightweight mount make the instrument easy to transport. The high-quality optics deliver sharp, high-contrast views, revealing details such as Jupiter’s Great Red Spot and the famous Cassini Division in Saturn’s rings. It also shows many galaxies and resolves a wide range of star clusters.
The AZ-Go2 mount features GoTo control: via its Wi-Fi connection, it can be easily operated from a smartphone or tablet using the free SynScan app. Its user-friendly operation is appreciated not only by beginners: simply select the desired object from the catalogue, and the telescope will automatically locate it in the sky. Of course, it can not only find objects, but also track them. The telescope is also compatible with the SkySafari planetarium software, which includes, among other features, updateable asteroid and comet databases.
The standard package includes 25 mm and 10 mm eyepieces, providing 60x and 150x magnification. A red dot finder (StarPointer) makes locating objects easier, while a mirror diagonal ensures comfortable observing. The telescope produces an upright image, though mirrored left to right, so it can also be used for terrestrial observation.
The single-arm mount provides ample stability, and the extendable steel tripod legs can be adjusted to suit the observer’s height. The accessory tray offers space for a range of accessories — even your observing tea.
The SkyWatcher AZ-Go2 127/1500 MC telescope can also be powered by AA batteries, although this is less recommended. For best results, we suggest using a 12 V battery or a suitable AC adapter from a 230 V mains supply; these are available separately as optional accessories.
