Compatible with Vixen-style dovetail mounts and bundled with essential accessories, this compact yet powerful telescope is ideal for both visual astronomy and beginner astrophotography. ## Description Sky-Watcher’s premiere line of Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes create a perfect blend of aperture and lightweight portability. This telescope design has a reputation for sharp, high-contrast views, ideal for planetary observation. Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes serve as an alternative to Schmidt-Cassegrains and Newtonians, and offer astronomers a large visual aperture, high contrast, and long focal length in a compact package. Maksutov’s deliver better planetary detail than other telescopes due to a focal length that’s 5-7 times longer, increasing overall magnification. Maksutov-Cassegrains also use a meniscus-shaped corrector plate, eliminating any spherical aberration caused by the primary mirror. Our Maksutov series telescopes deliver refractor-like views and superior contrast while allowing for larger apertures at a fraction of the cost. Our Maksutov series features a borosilicate primary mirror with an aluminum coating and a quartz overcoat, producing 94% reflectivity. The corrector plate utilizes our proprietary Metallic High -Transmission Coatings (MHTC ), giving visual astronomers professional-grade optics creating a unique viewing experience.In addition to the visual benefits of Sky-Watcher Maksutovs, these serve as excellent optical tubes for imaging planetary, lunar, or solar (with use of a solar filter). For astronomers looking to start in astrophotography, the Sky-Watcher Maksutovs deliver exceptionally long focal lengths, necessary for imaging planetary detail. This provides an increased image scale, forgoing the need of a barlow lens or other accessories that may increase exposure times.As customary with all Sky-Watcher products, the Maksutov series includes a bundle of accessories, including: 28mm 2-inch eyepiece, 2-inch 90-degree star diagonal, and a 9x50 straight-through finderscope. ## Features - EXPERTLY MATCHED OPTICS: The Skymax series of Maksutov-Cassegrain optical tubes features matched primary and secondary mirrors with an expertly coated corrector plate that delivers contrast-rich views with charcoal-black skies. - 94% REFLECTIVITY MIRROR COATINGS: Using a borosilicate primary mirror with an aluminum coating and a quartz overcoat, Sky-Watcher Maksutov-Cassegrains produce a 94% reflectivity rating for outstanding light transmission. - VIXEN-STYLE DOVETAIL: An industry standard, the Vixen-style dovetail is the most commonly used dovetail bar for astronomy. - FULLY BAFFLED TUBE: Utilizing a fully-baffled tube, Sky-Watcher Maksutovs prevent stray light from interfering with your viewing experience. - EVERYTHING YOU NEED: The 150mm Skymax Maksutov-Cassegrain comes equipped with everything you need to get started, including: : a 28mm 2-inch eyepiece, 2-inch 90-degree star diagonal, and a 9x50 straight-through finderscope. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00Z4HX18M | | Additional Features | Large Aperture in Compact Size with High Contrast and Long Focal Length | | Best Sellers Rank | #857 in Camera & Photo Products ( See Top 100 in Camera & Photo Products ) #17 in Telescope Reflectors | | Brand | Sky-Watcher | | Built-In Media | Diagonal, Eyepeice, Finder | | Coating | Fully multi-coated | | Compatible Devices | Vixen-style dovetail mount compatible devices | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 25 Reviews | | Exit Pupil Diameter | 1.25 millimeters | | Eye Piece Lens Description | Barlow | | Finderscope | Reflex | | Focal Length Description | 1800 millimeters | | Focus Type | Auto Focus | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00050234115308, 05023411530800 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 25"D x 10"W x 10"H | | Item Weight | 16 pounds | | Manufacturer | Sky-Watcher | | Manufacturer Part Number | S11530 | | Model Name | Sky-Watcher Maksutov-Cassegrain 150mm | | Model Number | S11530 | | Mount | Equatorial Mount | | Number of Items | 1 | | Objective Lens Diameter | 15 centimeters | | Optical Tube Length | 7 centimeters | | Optical-Tube Length | 7 centimeters | | Telescope Mount Description | Equatorial Mount | | UPC | 050234115308 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Two-year | | Zoom Ratio | 700 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Sky-Watcher - **Eye Piece Lens Description:** Barlow - **Finderscope:** Reflex - **Focus Type:** Auto Focus - **Item Weight:** 16 pounds - **Model Name:** Sky-Watcher Maksutov-Cassegrain 150mm - **Objective Lens Diameter:** 15 centimeters - **Optical Tube Length:** 7 centimeters - **Product Dimensions:** 25"D x 10"W x 10"H - **Telescope Mount Description:** Equatorial Mount ## Images ![Sky-Watcher Skymax 150mm Maksutov-Cassegrain - Large Aperture Compound-Style Reflector Telescope - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51RboBuDxtL.jpg) ![Sky-Watcher Skymax 150mm Maksutov-Cassegrain - Large Aperture Compound-Style Reflector Telescope - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61LzZRDJFEL.jpg) ![Sky-Watcher Skymax 150mm Maksutov-Cassegrain - Large Aperture Compound-Style Reflector Telescope - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/611T484tStL.jpg) ![Sky-Watcher Skymax 150mm Maksutov-Cassegrain - Large Aperture Compound-Style Reflector Telescope - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31wc+7yLFuL.jpg) ![Sky-Watcher Skymax 150mm Maksutov-Cassegrain - Large Aperture Compound-Style Reflector Telescope - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51lrTylXhxL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Se pueden ver galaxias, nebulosas etc?** A: You can see galaxies and nebulae with the 102, although there won't be a lot of detail. Maksutov-Cassegrains of this aperture are suited better to planetary and lunar viewing. For what you're asking about, larger apertures (150mm, for example) would be better. **Q: I'm extremely new to everything astronomy, but if i were to get this telescope, what additional items would i need for astrophotography?** A: If astrophotography is your main goal a Maksutov telescope such as this would not be the best choice unless your interest is moon. Please contact our support department at 310-803-5966. They will be able to assist you with finding the best arrangement. **Q: The add says both the item and shipping weight are the same- 23 pounds. What is the actual weight of the tube (i.e. requred mount capacity)? Thanks!** A: If anyone is still wondering, I just weighed mine (180mm) and the OTA alone (without finderscope or eyepiece and diagonal) is 17 pounds. **Q: Photo shows side of ota says schotts optical glass. does this scope purchased thru amazon have this logo on the ota?** A: No, mine does not say schotte optical glass. It still performs nicely, but I was very angry when I realized this is a bait n switch product ## Frequently Bought Together - Sky-Watcher Skymax 150mm Maksutov-Cassegrain - Large Aperture Compound-Style Reflector Telescope - Celestron – Zoom Eyepiece for Telescope – Versatile 8mm-24mm Zoom for Low Power and High Power Viewing – Works with Any Telescope That Accepts 1.25" Eyepieces --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/17822207-sky-watcher-skymax-150mm-maksutov-cassegrain-large-aperture-compound-style](https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/17822207-sky-watcher-skymax-150mm-maksutov-cassegrain-large-aperture-compound-style) --- *Product available on Desertcart Brazil* *Store origin: BR* *Last updated: 2026-09-30*
