Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope

The Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope is a type of compact telescope that combines features of two designs: the Maksutov and the Cassegrain. It uses a curved primary mirror and a special corrector lens at the front to minimize optical errors, providing clear images of celestial objects. Its design allows for a long focal length in a shorter tube, making it portable and easy to use. This telescope is popular among amateur astronomers for planetary and lunar observations due to its sharp image quality and versatility across different celestial targets.
