Omegon Maksutov MC 127/1900 OTA telescope

Omegon Maksutov: Strong contrast in the moon and planets
This Maksutov telescope is a pro for lunar and planetary observation. Because strong contrasts and a sharp image are the trumps of this design. And the stage for this telescope: moon craters in detail or cloud bands and structures on the planet.



The advantages at a glance:

Maksutov telescope: compact and lightweight design
For astronomy or nature observation
Optimal for smaller mounts
Good for the trip
GP prism rail for super fast assembly




Always a perfect picture
The Maksutov system could not be more ingenious: a small telescope with an extremely long focal length. Even with simple and cheap eyepieces, it is easy to get a high magnification with an excellent picture. An advantage that one misses with many telescopes with short focal length.



The success of Dimitri Maksutov ...
When the optician Dimitri Maksutov invented the Maksutov in 1942, he could not have guessed that it would have such a success story. Even more than 70 years after its invention, the success of this ingenious look is unbroken. Good proves itself. Convince yourself of this Maksutov telescope.



What can you observe a Maksutov telescope?

Moon with thousands of lunar craters
The gas giants Jupiter and Saturn
The phases of Venus
Polar caps and dark regions on Mars
Binary stars, like the Albireo system
Nature: mountains, wildlife, birds

A Maksutov is just perfect for the moon and planets. If you live in a polluted area and you do not have the opportunity to move to darker areas, you should definitely include this system in your considerations. If you can not see enough deep sky objects anyway, a telescope for the moon and planets (sun ONLY with a suitable filter) is considered. Even in light polluted areas, these objects will always be a worthwhile destination due to their brightness. Although bright deep sky objects are possible, the main focus will be on the moon and planets.

Enjoy beautiful lunar and detailed planet observations (like the rings of Saturn, moon shadow games on Jupiter or its big red spot) and also interesting deep-sky excursions to brighter objects, such as the Orion Nebula, the open binary star cluster (h and chi) in the Perseus or even the galaxy groups M81, not to mention the star cluster in the Hercules M 13!

Together with the bright and high-contrast image, here are beautiful details. Of course, the field of view is slightly smaller than short-range devices, but I do not need it on the moon and planets. Since the longer focal length is advantageous because you do not need additional Barlow lens for higher magnifications. This is used at very high magnifications, if the visibility conditions (low air movement, good transparency of the sky ...) allow it. (Bear in mind that every movement of air is magnified.) Since the moon reflects enough light, it will be used primarily to observe the craters and surface structures of our satellite.




Travelers: at any time in the luggage
Whether by car or plane: this telescope will take you to every region of the world. The fact that the look is so small has one major advantage: Imagine watching under an alpine or desert sky. Nowhere can you see more of the starry sky.



Prism rail: on the mount, ready, go
Fasten the telescope optics easily on your mount. You do not need any pipe clamps, because a prism rail in GP format is firmly anchored to the tube.



Viewfinder shoe: suitable for most finderscope tubes
The Omegon Maksutov is equipped with a viewfinder mount that accommodates most available finderscopes. These include viewfinders from Omegon, Celestron, Skywatcher, Vixen and others. Decide for yourself: Do you prefer a LED viewfinder or an optical finderscope? Postpone and ready!
