SkyMax 150 Pro in depth

 

PRO-SERIES is the name for the new generation of professional quality telescopes and computerised Go-To mounts of the Sky-Watcher range, targeted at the most discerning and critical observers. PRO-SERIES products are manufactured to extremely high levels of optical and mechanical precision, undergoing very strict quality control procedures and testing by specially assigned technicians to ensure the highest standards of quality and performance are consistently maintained.

The Sky-Watcher SKYMAX Pro-Series Maksutov-Cassegrain models come in apertures of 150mm & 180mm and excel for high-power, high-resolution Lunar and Planetary applications.

They both employ super-high contrast optical systems, utilising high-transmission multi-coatings on all optical surfaces, for optimum optical performance. the quality of each telescope is monitored by means of a Ronchi test and an artificial star test. No effort is spared to reach optimal optical quality.
