Planetary Imaging Bundle for the Saxon AstroSeeker 127/1500 Maksutov
This bundle is built around the Saxon AstroSeeker 127/1500 Maksutov-Cassegrain, a compact, high-magnification telescope ideal for capturing fine planetary detail. Paired with the ZWO ASI585MC planetary camera, it delivers sharp, high-resolution images of the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, and more.
The Celestron T-adapter with built-in 2x Barlow increases focal length for tighter planetary framing, while the M42 spacer kit ensures correct back focus with the camera. The setup is powered by the ZWO 12V 5A power adapter, delivering stable performance during extended sessions.
The ZWO ASIAIR Plus (256GB) handles imaging, camera control, and power management in one intuitive system, streamlining the entire process. To prevent condensation on the corrector plate, a 12V dew heater band sized for the Mak tube is included.
Ideal for those ready to move beyond entry-level setups, this bundle offers a compact yet powerful solution for detailed planetary imaging with seamless integration and reliable performance.
