Skywatcher Skymax-150 Pro 150mm 1800mm Maksutov Telescope

This high-quality Maksutov reflector telescope is particularly suitable for the observation of the moon and planets due to its long focal length. It is very portable thanks to its compact design and has only a small leverage on the mount.

The optics already have a sufficiently large opening for the observation of DeepSky objects such as globular clusters.

The optic has a small obstruction, achieved by the small secondary mirror vaporized on the meniscus lens. The meniscus lens provides a very good contrast, e.g. in planetary observations has a very positive effect. The lens corrects the spherical aberration and allows only very few color errors due to its shape. Once again as an overview:

Astronomical observations: The Maksutov has a sharp and diffraction-limited

Show star clusters and galaxies. The focus is on the given focal length and the resulting possible magnification but at moon, planets and with a corresponding filter (never without a filter in the sun look!) Our central star with the sunspots.

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.

Spotting scope for nature observations: The Maksutov can also be used during the day. Here he also shows his sharp and contrasting image.
A bright picture at a higher magnification lets nature lovers and animal watchers get their money's worth. You will be enthusiastic!

Photography: This telescope has an integrated T2 port, the adaptation of cameras is possible.
You have a powerful extreme telephoto lens with 1800mm focal length with a F / 12 aperture. Run the target object (motorized mount), you can with moon and planets, if necessary. the sun with a suitable filter (pay attention!), Record videos that you can process with the (usually freely downloadable) editing programs to the best pictures. Here you can also ask us, we are happy to advise you!
