Sky Watcher AZ-GTi with SkyMax 127 – Modular Go-To Alt-Az Tracking Mount for Time-lapse and Panoramas – Wifi Enabled App Controlled

I set it up. Alignment to one star or Jupiter, went perfect. Used the go to, for the nights best viewing, went perfect every time, not perfectly centered but close enough. Used one of my teleview eyepieces 40mm. Saw Jupiter with 4 of it’s moons, Saturns rings, pretty decent, and many stars. I have great plans for this very cool little scope. Plus goes into a portable case. I can take it almost anywhere. Very pleased.

The SkyMaX 127 that comes with the AZ-GTI has 1 1/4 inch diagonal to save weight on the mount. That's fine...it still has SCT threads so I can use a diagonal I already have for 2 inch eyepieces. I've used it on a different 127....except that I can't. What isn't detailed is that this SCOPE itself is different that the one you can buy on its own, not just the diagonal. So NOTHING I planned to use on it with another manual mount will work. Ultimately, the extra parts I now need to buy will put the cost well above what it would have cost to buy the scope outside of the bundle. VERY disappointed.

Summary: The scope is very good. The mount is good. Combined the package is only fair because the scope is a bit too much for the mount.The AZ GTi mount is pretty good. The mount is complex and involves a significant learning curve. Once you get to know how to use the thing, alignment is relatively easy. GoTo accuracy is about par for the course. The more accurate your alignment the better GoTo works. It usually puts me within a couple degrees from the target but that doesn't always mean the target is in the eyepiece. My bigger Celestron doesn't do any better. The mount appears to avoid cord wrap by not rotating more than 360 degrees - smart. The tripod is the weak part of the mount and makes the mount pretty wobbly for the rather heavy 127 Maksutov scope. It works much better with my smaller 72mm refractor.I really love the 127 Mak scope. Collimation was great right out of the box. Image contrast is better than my SCT scopes. I love the views of planets and the moon through this scope. Focusing is smooth. The red-dot is junk so I put a small 6x30 optical finder scope on it. Be aware that the scope that comes with the mount is only for left hand mounting and has a 1.25" diagonal where the scope sold separately is configured for right hand mounting and has a 2" diagonal.

Literally no telescope in box. No diagonal. No eyepieces. There was a mount and tripod. And 3 empty boxes

I recently purchased the AZGTI 127 telescope. The telescope is nice but the AZGTI tracker has problems. I. I align the telescope perfectly north and level sometimes it will come close to finding the star but most of the time it would not. Two and a two star alignment still did not help the problem. When trying to find a star sometimes it would go in the opposite direction. In the tracking would work sometimes it would not. I had a return it.

The scope is good. But the AZ-Gti does not work at all. It's a lemon.I decided to return it.
