Skywatcher MC 150/1800 Telescope Maksutov SkyMax OTA

Compact power for sharp detail

The Skywatcher MC 150/1800 instantly gives you the feeling of being closer to the moon and planets. The long focal length delivers high magnification without softening the image. You see fine textures, clear edges and strong contrasts. Perfect when you like to zoom in quietly and want to catch every detail.The aperture of 150 mm captures a lot of light. As a result, images remain clear, even if you magnify further. Fainter deep-sky objects come into view visibly, such as globular clusters. So you get more out of the night than just the moon and planets.

Clear image due to high contrast

The Maksutov design provides a clean, calm image. The meniscus lens corrects distortion, keeping shapes tight. The small secondary mirror provides extra contrast. You notice this immediately when looking at planets: colors remain bright and details stand out more quickly.

Easy to carry, easy to use

The tube is compact and sturdy. You set it up quickly, without fussing with balance or sagging. Focusing works with one dial. You simply turn until the image is in focus. This keeps your attention on what you want to see, not on the technology.

Also suitable for photos

Thanks to the SC connector, you can easily connect a camera. This allows you to take your first moon pictures without additional accessories. The included 2″ diagonal and eyepiece adapter makes it easy to change between different eyepieces.
