Behold the one and only Skywatcher 190/1000 Maksutov Newtonian Telescope. Why choose a Maksutov Newtonian? Compared to the traditional maksutov cassegrain optical design, Maksutov Newtonians incorporate a spherical primary mirror, multi-coated meniscus lens constructed of Schott glass, all in an enclosed tube. This tried and true combination allows Maksutov Newtonians to excel in astrophotography, offers better error correction over the entire field of view and produces outstanding views of the Moon and the planets.

The designers of the Skywatcher 190/1000 Maksutov Newtonian Telescope take their astronomy very seriously. With the closed-in meniscus lens, diffraction generated secondary mirrors is a thing of the past and eliminates any chromatic aberration inherent to lens designs. For astrophotographers, you will be impressed by the fast focal ratio of f/5.3 - great for long exposure astrophotography, where other telescopes falter.

The Skywatcher 190/1000 Maksutov Newtonian Telescope comes with the OTA only. This enables you to choose the mount that best suits your needs. For inspiration, check out the Skywatcher/Saxon NEQ6 Pro Mount. With both the OTA and the mount, you will have a set up equivalent to an astrophotography gold mine.
