102mm Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope

The 102mm Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope combines a compact optical design with a 10.2-centimeter objective lens diameter and 1300-millimeter focal length for sharp, high-contrast astronomical observation. Its Maksutov-Cassegrain design uses a meniscus-shaped corrector plate with a borosilicate primary mirror featuring an aluminum coating and quartz overcoat for 94% reflectivity. The compact optical tube combines a large aperture for its size with a long focal length and is suitable for planetary, lunar, and solar imaging when an appropriate solar filter is used.
