Telescopes - Maksutov-Cassegrains

How To Choose The Best Mark?

Every telescope has a different focal length and aperture, which are the two most important factors when deciding what telescope is best. That being said, you might want to know that a 127mm Maksutov-Cassegrain is better suited to deep sky observing while a 6-inch Maksutov-Cassegrain excels at planetary viewing.

One of the great features of the Mak is that it has a larger mirror than its Newtonian counterpart. This means more light passes through onto the eyepiece, giving you better images and brighter stars. A Mak also produces less diffraction spikes around bright objects like the moon or Saturn. The size of the mirrors in these telescopes also makes them more portable than many other types of telescopes. And last but not least, they can be equipped with extra accessories like a camera mount or Barlow lens.
