Pack Maksutov-Cassegrain SkyWatcher 150/1800mm Telescope with NEQ5 mount with personalized initiation course
IN TELESCOPIOMANIA WE OFFER YOU NOW TOGETHER WITH YOUR TELESCOPE, OUR PERSONALIZED COURSE OF INITIATION IN ASTRONOMY AND USE OF YOUR MANUAL TELESCOPE.
The Maksutov-Cassegrain type catadioptric optical tubes have always stood out for their enormous contrast capacity and magnification power. In addition, since their optical system is based on integrated mirrors, Maksutov-Cassegrain tubes are free of any type of chromatic aberration. This makes them an ideal alternative to the classic achromatic refractors as they improve them in the aspect of chromaticism.
On the other hand, it is worth mentioning that the SKYWATCHER Maksutov-Cassegrain model presented here has a Maksutov corrector plate made of the highest quality glass. The result is undoubtedly a guarantee of success.
The SKYWATCHER NEQ5 mount provides the precision and stability needed to start making observations more seriously. With a single-axis or dual-axis motor attached, the SKYWATCHER NEQ5 mount is the perfect instrument for deep sky astrophotography.
