Sky-Watcher Maksutov Cassegrains

The Ultimate 'Take-Anywhere' Telescopes.

The Sky-Watcher Maksutov-Cassegrains are the ultimate ‘take-anywhere’ telescopes. Their compact size makes them ideal if working space is limited. Despite their small dimensions they pack a powerful punch. Their High-Resolution, diffraction limited optical systems are multi-coated to maximise contrast and image sharpness.

Whether your requirement is for terrestrial or astronomical use, these compact scopes are the perfect companion. Tube material: Aluminium.

High Contrast Telescopes.

Maksutov-Cassegrains are very similar to Schmidt-Cassegrains, but they use convex meniscus lenses instead of corrector plates. The main advantage here, compared to other similar models is that Maksutov-Cassegrains don’t need periodic collimation as many other telescopic models do. In addition, because mirror obstruction is smaller, images appear with greater contrasts, but will have a narrower field of view due to the Maksutov-Cassegrain’s slow focal ratio which tends to make this telescope design better for planetary and double star observing.
