Review: Very good finder and 2 » eyepiece and diagonal - Wish there is a version with a nice GOTO Mount Review: Had only but bad weather since receiving this telescope but I did test it on daylight and it was sharp even at extreme magnifications. I was able to also check jupiter and it showed up nicely. I think this is the sweet spot between portability and planetary ( especially planetary) power ## Features - EXPERTLY MATCHED OPTICS: The Skymax series of Maksutov-Cassegrain optical tubes features matched primary and secondary mirrors with an expertly coated corrector plate that delivers contrast-rich views with charcoal-black skies. - 94% REFLECTIVITY MIRROR COATINGS: Using a borosilicate primary mirror with an aluminum coating and a quartz overcoat, Sky-Watcher Maksutov-Cassegrains produce a 94% reflectivity rating for outstanding light transmission. - VIXEN-STYLE DOVETAIL: An industry standard, the Vixen-style dovetail is the most commonly used dovetail bar for astronomy. - FULLY BAFFLED TUBE: Utilizing a fully-baffled tube, Sky-Watcher Maksutovs prevent stray light from interfering with your viewing experience. - EVERYTHING YOU NEED: The 150mm Skymax Maksutov-Cassegrain comes equipped with everything you need to get started, including: : a 28mm 2-inch eyepiece, 2-inch 90-degree star diagonal, and a 9x50 straight-through finderscope. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00Z4HX18M | | Best Sellers Rank | #20,515 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #2 in Telescope Reflectors | | Item model number | S11530 | | Manufacturer | Sky-Watcher | | Product Dimensions | 63.5 x 25.4 x 25.4 cm; 7.26 kg | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Sky-Watcher - **Eye piece lens description:** Barlow - **Model name:** Sky-Watcher Maksutov-Cassegrain 150mm - **Objective lens diameter:** 150 Millimeters - **Optical tube length:** 70 Millimeters ## Images ![Skywatcher Skymax 150mm Maksutov-Cassegrain - Large Aperture Compound-Style Reflector Telescope - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51RboBuDxtL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Se pueden ver galaxias, nebulosas etc?** A: You can see galaxies and nebulae with the 102, although there won't be a lot of detail. Maksutov-Cassegrains of this aperture are suited better to planetary and lunar viewing. For what you're asking about, larger apertures (150mm, for example) would be better. **Q: I'm extremely new to everything astronomy, but if i were to get this telescope, what additional items would i need for astrophotography?** A: If astrophotography is your main goal a Maksutov telescope such as this would not be the best choice unless your interest is moon. Please contact our support department at 310-803-5966. They will be able to assist you with finding the best arrangement. **Q: The add says both the item and shipping weight are the same- 23 pounds. What is the actual weight of the tube (i.e. requred mount capacity)? Thanks!** A: If anyone is still wondering, I just weighed mine (180mm) and the OTA alone (without finderscope or eyepiece and diagonal) is 17 pounds. **Q: Photo shows side of ota says schotts optical glass. does this scope purchased thru amazon have this logo on the ota?** A: No, mine does not say schotte optical glass. It still performs nicely, but I was very angry when I realized this is a bait n switch product ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good finder and 2 » eyepiece and diagonal *by B***N on 12 November 2023* Wish there is a version with a nice GOTO Mount ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***U on 23 January 2026* Had only but bad weather since receiving this telescope but I did test it on daylight and it was sharp even at extreme magnifications. I was able to also check jupiter and it showed up nicely. I think this is the sweet spot between portability and planetary ( especially planetary) power ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by L***S on 12 August 2021* Needed a long focal length scope to complement my "short" scope. Short scope is great for nebulas, etc, but too wide for closeup planetary or lunar viewing/photography. This scope at 1300 mm FL, altho not too wide in aperture, is a great scope for planetary viewing and is easy to carry around. Saturn & jupiter pics were shot with it the day (night!) it arrived!
