The light coming through a MAK passes through the corrector lens to the primary mirror and back to a spherical secondary mirror before it hits the eyepiece. Images are bright, sharp, and virtually free of chromatic aberration. - The Maksutov-Cassegrain's optical design offers several unique benefits. Instead of a secondary mirror, the MAK features a secondary spot of reflective coating applied directly to the inside of the corrector plate. Because of this, the telescope does not require frequent collimation like a Schmidt-Cassegrain. Also, the secondary spot is significantly smaller than a traditional Schmidt-Cassegrain secondary mirror, giving the MAK its signature high-contrast views.Computerized Alt-Azimuth telescope: - Take in the sky with the computerized alt-azimuth telescope.
