iOptron 150mm Maksutov-Cassegrain OTA w/ ELECTRIC FOCUSER MINT CONDITION
1800mm FL at f/12.0

UPGRADED WITH TONS OF OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES

I am the original owner, purchasing it back in Sept 2018 and used it only 5-times. Everything is in MINT CONDITION, no scratches and dust-free glass and mirrors.

This scope is always stored with a 2” desiccant eyepiece cap keeping all internal surfaces of the MAK free of moisture and stored in an air-tight Pelican travel case.

I have upgraded this MAK with accessories to make this into a serious scope for both astrophotography and visual uses (see ALL of the UPGRADES and ACCESSORIES included with this scope).

NO shaky images while viewing and trying to focus, this scope has been upgraded with the iOptron electric focuser. The OEM focuser is designed so that you can easily install a reducer/field flattener or a 2” Baader Clicklock eyepiece holder (both included) without hitting the focuser. The images seen through this scope both day and night are amazingly sharp with contrast.

I have also fitted this scope with heavy-duty tube rings connected by two 13” Vixen Dovetail Bars. The bottom bar is to rigidly and easily attach this OTA on a telescope mount of your choice. The top bar is available for mounting ANY accessories on top - i.e., long FL guide scope.

This precision instrument is heavy and there are many pieces. To protect it during transit, I have outfitted it with the ultimate case - A Pelican 1740 Tan Watertight Hard Case. This thing has wheels and a collapsing handle to easily roll-about it to and from the viewing site.
This Maksutov-Cassegrain is multicoated and fully-baffled optics provide almost similar results as a 5-inch apochromatic refractor at a fraction of the cost.

The MAK150 features a BK-7 optical glass primary mirror, Rumak-type secondary mirror, and Maksutov meniscus corrector lens for optimized clarity and contrast. Both mirrors has been aluminized and quartz over-coated to protect your mirrors and give you unparalleled views of the night sky. This is a high resolving scope, great for planetary and DSO objects.

The MAK150 from iOptron is the only MAK of its kind that comes with a dual speed focuser for fine-tuning your images. I am also including the OEM manual dual-speed focus hardware if you decide to remove the electric focuser and go manual. Also included is an attachable solid aluminum dew shield—rare for a MAK—for better performance in cold temperatures.

You pay shipping or I can meet you half-way for personal pick-up (100mi max).
