This 180mm (7.08-Inches) aperture Maksutov-Cassegrain OTA by Sky-Watcher is a portable scope for its aperture and will impress you with its performance. You could take it along on your next trip to a star party or even on a vacation. Although this telescope is compact in size compared to a Newtonian or refractor, it has the kind of optical quality you expect from a fine Maksutov-Cassegrain OTA. Because it uses the diffraction-limited Maksutov optical system, it produces high-resolution sharp images with high contrast. The optical elements are fully multi-coated to further enhance the image contrast. The aperture of this scope is 180mm or just over 7-inches for extra light gathering capacity, meaning you will get brighter and sharper images. With Sky-Watcher's 180mm Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope focusing is accomplished by turning a knob on the rear housing of the scope, which moves the primary mirror slightly to adjust focus. Focusing is smooth and precise. Your star diagonal and eyepiece never move. Speaking of the star diagonal, this telescope includes a 2-inch 90-degree star diagonal to accept both 2-inch and 1.25-inch eyepieces. The Sky-Watcher BK MAK180 OTA comes with a 2-inch 28mm LET eyepiece. The included 8x50 finder scope makes it easy to find those celestial objects.
