Oh, if we had a nickel for every time we've been asked, "When are you going to come out with a bigger (than 127mm) Mak?" We'd be writing this from our branch office on the Maui beachfront.

Cut from island fantasy to astronomy fantasy . . . because we've got what you have been wishing for. Our Orion SkyView Pro 150mm Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope opens up new vistas of the celestial landscape for your viewing pleasure, putting superior resolving power at your disposal. The 150mm-diameter Maksutov-Cassegrain optics take in 40% more light than their 127mm counterparts, which means this big Mak will resolve finer detail in lunar and planetary subjects and permit exploration of a wider array of deep-sky objects.

The meniscus lens is fully multi-coated for maximum light transmission. The long focal length of 1800mm (f/12.0) belies the telescope's compact tube, which measures just 17" long (including visual back on rear cell), for excellent portability. It couples to the SkyView Pro mount's equatorial head via a dovetail rail, allowing quick setup and take-down. The mount provides precision equatorial control and accepts optional TrueTrack single-axis and dual-axis DC drives.

For the serious beginner, the Orion SkyView Pro 150mm Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope Equatorial is a telescope that will take you deep into the hobby of amateur astronomy. For the seasoned skywatcher, it offers an excellent balance between aperture and portability.
