SkyMax 200DX Maksutov-Cassegrain OTA
If you’re seeking crisp, contrasty views with high levels of detail, look no further than the Skymax series, Sky-Watcher’s premiere line of Maksutov-Cassegrains. Generally regarded as producing a sharper image than Schmidt-Cassegrains, Maksutovs offer astronomers a large visual aperture, high contrast and long focal length in a compact package. With its 2000 mm focal length and f/10 focal ratio, the SkyMax 200DX provides the long focal length needed to reveal fine planetary and lunar detail at higher magnifications! Please note: Mount and tripod images above are not included with this OTA.
RAQ™ Optical Coatings
Skymax Maksutovs feature mirrors constructed of borosilicate, polished and coated with our proprietary Radiant™ Aluminum Quartz™ (RAQ™) coatings, which produce a remarkable 94% reflectivity. All Maksutovs use a corrector plate to help reduce chromatic aberration, which is then coated using our signature Metallic High-Transmission Coatings™ (MHTC™), producing professional grade optics at an affordable price.
Ready for Cooling & Imaging
The SkyMax 200DX includes a 12V battery pack to power the built-in cooling fan, helping the telescope reach thermal equilibrium for more stable views and imaging. A camera extender adapter is also included, giving astrophotographers an additional accessory for configuring a compatible camera setup.
Durable Aluminum Construction
The SkyMax 200DX features a durable aluminum optical tube finished in Sky-Watcher’s glossy white diamond metal-flake finish, giving this large-aperture Maksutov a sturdy yet clean, premium design.
