Perfect for Budget-Conscious Beginners in Planetary Astrophotography
This thoughtfully curated bundle is ideal for those stepping into astrophotography, especially if you're focused on planetary imaging and want to keep costs down. Designed around the Saxon Maksutov 127/1500 telescope, it offers a well-balanced setup that pairs affordability with solid performance.
At the heart of the kit is the ZWO ASI585 USB3 camera, a sensitive planetary camera known for its high frame rates and excellent detail capture. It connects seamlessly to the Saxon Mak 127/1500 using the included 1.25-inch to M42 nosepiece adapter, ensuring a solid, straightforward fit for imaging.
To power the Saxon Maksutov, a reliable 12V 2A power adapter is included - perfectly matched to run the scope efficiently without requiring extra accessories. And to combat condensation during those long imaging sessions, the bundle also includes a dew heater strip, designed to wrap snugly around OTA tubes in the 100–127mm range, including the Mak 127.
Whether you're imaging the rings of Saturn, the bands of Jupiter, or capturing crisp lunar detail, this kit gives you the essential tools to get started - without overspending.
