The extremely portable Sky Watcher Skymax 90 MAK Astronomy Telescope with EQ1 Mount 10673 is the best telescope for observing double stars, as well as for viewing the Moon's surface in great detail and bright planets. Despite being compact, it has a strong punch. To enhance contrast and image sharpness, its high-resolution, long focal length optical system is multi-coated.
Features
Maksutov-Cassegrain optical design
Primary and secondary mirrors feature proprietary Radiant Aluminium Quartz(RAQ) coatings
Corrector plate featuring Metallic High-Transmission Coatings (MHTC) virtually eliminates chromatic aberrations
90mm aperture, 1250mm focal length, f/13.8 focal ratio
Aluminium tube coated with glossy, black diamond metal-flake finish
EQ1 Equatorial Mount
Included accessories: two 1.25-inch eyepieces, red dot finder, 1.25-inch diagonal and 1/4-20 mounting plate
Included with the EQ1 equatorial mount, which when polar aligned will make it simple for you to use the slow motion control wires to monitor objects as they move across the night sky.
The Skymax series, the top line of Maksutov-Cassegrains from Sky-Watcher, offers sharp, contrasty vistas with great levels of detail. Maksutovs are compact telescopes that provide astronomers with a big visual aperture, excellent contrast, and long focal length in a package that is generally regarded as providing clearer images than Schmidt-Cassegrains. These telescopes have focal lengths that are 5-7 times greater than the typical Newtonian or refractor telescope, which allows them to produce higher levels of planetary detail.
Mirrors used in Skymax Maksutovs are made of borosilicate, polished, and coated with our unique Radiant Aluminium Quartz (RAQ) coatings, which result in an astounding 94% reflectivity. To assist eliminate chromatic aberration, all Maksutovs employ a corrector plate. This plate is then coated with our patented Metallic High-Transmission Coatings (MHTC), creating high-quality optics at a reasonable cost.
