Why Choose the Maksutov-Cassegrain (MAK150)?

Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes, like the MAK150, offer several advantages over Schmidt-Cassegrain designs, revolutionising your astronomy experience: 

• Superior Image Quality: Maksutovs provide sharper, higher-contrast images due to their all-spherical optical design and the use of a meniscus corrector lens. This design minimizes optical aberrations, delivering clearer and more detailed views of celestial objects. 
• Enhanced Durability: The closed-tube design of Maksutovs prevents dust and moisture from entering the optical path, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and ensuring long-term performance. 
• Compact and Portable: Maksutovs are typically more compact and portable than equivalent Schmidt-Cassegrains, making them easier to transport and set up for both amateur astronomers and professionals on the go. 
• Ease of Use: With fewer components and a simpler design, Maksutovs are often easier to collimate and maintain, providing a hassle-free observing experience. 

Included with the Fusion 120i – MAK150 Bundle: 

• OTA: The SkyMax150, renowned for its high-quality optics and impressive performance. 
• Eyepiece: A 2″ – 28mm eyepiece for clear and detailed views. 
• Finderscope: An 8×50 finderscope to help you easily locate objects in the sky.
