700 f/15 Maksutov Cassegrain OTA

The Celestron 700 f/15 Maksutov-Cassegrain OTA is a 7-inch aperture catadioptric optical tube designed for high-contrast views of planets and the lunar surface. Featuring a long f/15 focal ratio and Celestron's StarBright XLT multi-coated optics, this specialized instrument excels at detailed planetary imaging and lunar observation while also proving suitable for deep-sky targets like globular clusters and planetary nebulae. The Maksutov-Cassegrain design eliminates the need for frequent collimation and offers superior contrast compared to Schmidt-Cassegrains of similar aperture, making it particularly valuable for urban astronomers dealing with light pollution.
