Abstract

The article focuses on the Sky-Watcher HAC125DX Minigraph, a compact astrograph designed for astrophotography with a fast f/2 focal ratio. It highlights the telescope's lightweight design, advanced optical features, and suitability for small cameras, particularly those with narrow housings to avoid light obstruction. The review discusses the Minigraph's performance, including its sensitivity to collimation and the impact of camera choice on image quality. Overall, the HAC125DX is presented as an affordable option for both novice and budget-conscious astrophotographers, capable of producing high-quality deep-sky images efficiently.
