The telescope optics: The highly interesting Skywatcher Maksutov Newtonian telescope is exactly what astrophotographers and serious visual observers have been looking for. The Maksutov Newtonian reflecting telescope design combines the best features of Newtonian reflectors and Maksutov Cassegrain telescopes. This optical design impresses with impressive image quality and offers high-contrast, perfectly flat images, free from colour. The Maksutov Newtonian telescope design offers wide aperture apochromatic performance, with exceptional field correction, in a compact tube at an amazingly affordable price. Stars are imaged like pinpricks across the entire area. Perfectly optimized for modern DSLR cameras. Five screens used in the tube eliminate disruptive internal reflections and improve contrast. Compared to similar Schmidt Newtonians with the same or larger apertures, the Skywatcher Maksutov Newtonian telescope achieves much sharper and higher-contrast images. Photographically as well as visually.
