Product overview

The Skymax 150 Pro provides noticeably more aperture than smaller Maksutovs while remaining surprisingly compact for a 150 mm instrument. Its main strength is detailed observing at medium to high magnification.

Suitable applications

• Lunar and planetary observers
• Double-star observing
• Terrestrial observing on a suitable mount
• Users who already own a stable Vixen-style mount

Included equipment

• 150 mm aperture and 1800 mm focal length
• Maksutov-Cassegrain f/12
• 2-inch eyepiece connection
• 9x50 finder and 2-inch diagonal
• 28 mm 2-inch LET eyepiece

Mount requirements

The optical tube needs a sufficiently stable mount. Despite its compact shape, vibration control and precise focusing are especially important at high magnification.

Practical note

Allow sufficient time for thermal equalisation. With a 150 mm Maksutov, larger temperature differences can noticeably affect image quality.
