Maksutov-Cassegrain 150mm Telescope - S11530

Sky-Watcher's Skymax 150 is a Maksutov-Cassegrain design that offers astronomers a large visual aperture, high contrast, and long focal length in a compact package. This telescope delivers higher levels of planetary detail due to a focal length that is 5-7 times longer than your average Newtonian or refractor telescope. The Maksutov design uses a convex meniscus lens corrector, resulting in a smaller secondary mirror that limits obstruction and increases contrast, while eliminating the need for periodic collimation. Despite nearly 6 inches of aperture, the 150mm Skymax weighs in at just 14 pounds, making it significantly lighter than a comparable refractor.
