127mm Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope

The 127mm Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope combines a compact optical-tube design with a long 1540 millimeter focal length and 12.7-centimeter objective lens diameter. Its Maksutov-Cassegrain optical system is designed to provide sharp, high-contrast views for planetary observation while remaining portable. A meniscus-shaped corrector plate helps produce a flat visual plane across the field of view, while the borosilicate primary mirror with aluminum coating and quartz overcoat delivers 94% reflectivity. The telescope can also be used as an optical tube for planetary, lunar, or solar imaging when an appropriate solar filter is used.

Features

• Expertly Matched Optics: Matched primary and secondary mirrors work with a coated corrector plate to provide sharp, contrast-rich views.

• 94% Reflectivity: The borosilicate primary mirror uses an aluminum coating and quartz overcoat to provide crisp, detailed views.

• Long Focal Length: The 1540 millimeter focal length provides increased image scale for detailed planetary observation and imaging.

• Meniscus Corrector Plate: The Maksutov-Cassegrain design uses a meniscus-shaped corrector plate to provide a flat visual plane across the field of view.

• Vixen-Style Dovetail: The telescope uses a Vixen-style dovetail plate and includes a ¼-20 tripod thread beneath the dovetail bar for compatibility with most photographic tripods.

• Fully Baffled Tube: The fully baffled optical tube helps prevent stray light from interfering with the viewing experience.

• Imaging Capability: Suitable as an optical tube for planetary, lunar, and solar imaging when an appropriate solar filter is used for solar observation.
