Product Highlights

152mm Catadioptric OTA
1900mm Focal Length, f/12.5 Focal Ratio
Fully Multi-Coated Optics
Internal Focusing Mechanism
1.25" 25mm Eyepiece and 90° Diagonal

The Explore Scientific FirstLight 152mm f/12.5 Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope is ideal for users who want a portable yet powerful observation platform that is able to achieve high magnifications with the ability to make detailed observations of both near and deep-sky subjects. The Maksutov-Cassegrain optical configuration is engineered with a convex meniscus lens which not only eliminates the need for periodic collimation, but the nature of the lens requires a smaller secondary mirror that limits obstruction and increases contrast. The Maksutov optical path results in a slower focal ratio and narrower field of view versus a similar-sized Schmidt design, but the optical benefits make this an ideal scope for planetary and double-star observation.
