Howdy,
Yep, bought one.
Light n easy to move n setup. Small.
The gadget has protection against hitting the mount,
which u can over ride.
Though with the scope mounted as far forward as u can go
it nearly clears a full revolution.
Good clear image, of course a 6" version would be nicer but
here in Aus its a bit pricey.
Got mine from andrews. it does come with moon filter n 2x bar as well.
The alignment process is a bit trial n error as a beginner,
took 2 nights to get it worked out but now all is good n easy.
Manual isn't so fully explaining the process n use, just have
to fiddle with the menu options n buttons a little.
Especially to do the star alignment.
The second star took a while to work out the buttons to push
n timeing before modifying the alignment.
The pointing accuracy modifyer then helps get it more acurate.
It has a park scope function, so if u mark where the mount was
u can bring it out again as was ligned up to go straight away.
The goto works reasonably well.
Just sorting out the tracking now.
Very high tech looking, though only 35cm tube length.
Nice image of Saturn, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Moon.
150x, 250x n 300x used on the planets, 500x on the moon.
Digi cam worked well on the moon n jupiter n saturn.
Cheers.
Lee.
the specs for the skywatcher mak127 give it a star magnitude 13.2.
A 6" newt has a 13.6-14. A 5" a 12.3-13.5?? pay more get a better scope i guess.
