iOptron 150/1800 Maksutov MC OTA Telescope

Planeetspecialist: 150 mm Maksutov with 1800 mm focal length

The iOptron 150/1800 Maksutov-Cassegrain is designed for those who are ready to take the next step in lunar and planetary observation. The 150 mm aperture and long focal length of 1800 mm (f/12) deliver steady, high-contrast images with a large magnification: crater detail, Jupiter’s cloud bands, and Saturn’s rings at their best.

Sealed, collimation-stable design

Het Maksutov-ontwerp is gesloten en collimatievast: minder luchtstroming in de buis, minder onderhoud en een strak beeld, nacht na nacht. De dual-speed focuser stelt exact scherp bij hoge vergroting, de 8×50 zoeker vindt objecten snel en via de T2-adapter sluit je direct een planeetcamera aan. Realistisch zinvol is tot ongeveer 300x, twee keer de opening in millimeters.

In the box

Featured accessories

With the iOptron 462C iCam Planet Camera (379 euros) you directly use the long focal length for high-resolution Moon and planetary photography via lucky imaging.

For whom yes, for whom no

Ideal for advanced observers and planetary imagers seeking maximum image scale and contrast in a compact, low-maintenance tube. Not for those wanting wide deep-sky fields; f/12 with a 1800mm focal length is not suited for that.
