Konus MotorMax-90 Maksutov Cassegrain Telescope - 1795

The Konus Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescopes incorporate 4 optical designs in one scope: the lenses of refractors, the mirrors of Newtonians, the compact designs of Schmidt-Cassegrains and the unique exotic design of the Maksutov-Cassegrain. This results in wider viewing fields, sharper imagery and a slightly heavier unit for any given aperture versus a more traditional design. A 3.5" diameter aperture can magnify up to 180x for deep space objects, but is also right at home at 20x for capturing a bird on a branch. The built-in flip mirror system offers a straight-down view of 90°, or flip the mirror for a 45° view by adding the included star diagonal. Your camera can easily be attached to capture the moment.

The new Konus MotorMax-90 #1795 is a Maksutov Cassegrain with fully multicoated optics. The MotorMax features a double mirror star diagonal allowing viewing at 45 and 90 degrees. An Equatorial mount with free RA motor drive will track the stars across the sky. It is easy to assemble, setup and store.
