Skywatcher Maksutov Skymax 180

Thanks to the use of high-quality low-dispersion glass and precise craftsmanship, this telescope with a 180mm diameter (the largest in the series) delivers excellent observations of double stars and solar system objects. The optics also perform excellently for deep-sky viewing, thanks to the high contrast offered (the use of wide-angle eyepieces is recommended). With this model, Sky-Watcher sets a new benchmark in the Maksutov Cassegrain category.

Thanks to its 180mm diameter, this powerful yet compact Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope offers the best performance achievable by a telescope of this optical design in its price range! The specific optical design provides the best performance for planetary observation and photography, where it is necessary to generate high magnification while maintaining the highest possible contrast. The planets and the Moon show many fine details, but you can also use this SkyWatcher MAK180 for observing faint objects; stars will truly appear as pinpoints!

The Sky-Watcher Maksutov-Cassegrain 180 is the ideal instrument for planetary and lunar photography as it offers a small secondary mirror and therefore low obstruction. Furthermore, thanks to a high focal length (2700mm), a 2x Barlow lens is sufficient to obtain, with any planetary camera, exceptional magnification with incredible images displayed on your computer screen.
