Maksutov-Cassegrain

The Maksutov-Cassegrain is a type of telescope known for its compact design and excellent image quality. It uses a curved primary mirror and a secondary mirror, along with a special corrector lens at the front. This setup allows for long focal lengths in a short tube, making it portable. It’s popular among both amateur and professional astronomers for its ease of use and ability to produce sharp views of celestial objects, such as planets and stars. The design minimizes optical aberrations, providing clear and bright images, making it ideal for detailed observations.
