180mm Maksutov Cassegrain Telescope OTA

The Sky-Watcher 180mm f/15 Maksutov-Cassegrain is a powerful astronomical tool that remains manageable and portable, featuring a Maksutov design that exchanges a conventional corrector plate for a convex meniscus lens, resulting in reduced secondary mirror obstruction and increased contrast while eliminating the need for periodic collimation. Ideal for detailed solar, lunar, and planetary observations, it also resolves deep-sky objects like stars, clusters, galaxies, and nebulae. Despite 7" of aperture, the 180mm Skymax weighs just 19 pounds, making it significantly lighter than a comparable refractor. With its native f/15 focal ratio, this scope pairs perfectly with planetary cameras or webcams for capturing Jupiter and Saturn.
