A telescope built in the Maksutov optical system, characterized by excellent image sharpness and the absence of chromatic aberration. It consists of a spherical meniscus corrector (crown glass), a primary mirror, and a secondary mirror placed on the inner part of the meniscus.
The tube diameter is 140 mm, the focal length is 1500 mm, and the eyepiece focuser diameter is 1.25 inch. The maximum magnification is 191 x. The telescope tube is mounted on an EQ3-2 equatorial mount equipped with precise slow-motion controls and aluminum legs. The EQ3-2 mount is compatible with telescopes with a Dovetail mounting rail in the Vixen standard.
To use the telescope for terrestrial observation, a so-called erecting lens should be used, which will invert the image to a natural upright view.
The set includes:
- diagonal: 90 deg.,
- eyepieces: Super 25 mm, Super 10 mm,
- 6 x 30 finder scope.
