Maksutov telescope

A Maksutov telescope is a type of optical device that uses a combination of lenses and mirrors to produce clear images of distant objects. Its main feature is a thick, curved lens called a meniscus corrector, which helps reduce optical aberrations, making the view sharper. Behind this lens is a mirror that gathers light and reflects it to an eyepiece for viewing. This design results in a compact, portable telescope with high image quality, ideal for astronomy enthusiasts who want detailed views of planets, the Moon, and stars.
