Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescopes

Maksutov-Cassegrain
Maksutov (MAK) telescopes are a combination of mirror and lens telescope. They combine the advantages of reflector telescopes (with high light collection power) and lens telescopes (with high-contrast imaging systems) without having their disadvantages of aberration & chromatic aberrations.
In contrast to the Schmidt-Cassegrain (SC) telescopes, instead of a correction plate at the beginning of the tube, MMAs have a simpler miniskus lens with a mirrored center. Practical side effect of the miniscus plate: The telescope is not susceptible to turbulence and it provides good protection of the tube interior from dust.

 
MAKs have a very sharp image and are among the most contrasting types of telescopes. The design allows a long focal length with a short tube. Due to this short length, they are very handy and easy to operate even on "simple" mounts.
Many MAKs have a variable focuser for focusing so that they have little or no main mirror donation.
All this makes MAKs very popular universal and travel telescopes.
