Orion Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescopes

Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes utilize both mirrors and a lens (meniscus lens) to focus light into a smaller area. Maksutov-Cassegrains offer superior contrast to a Schmidt-Cassegrain due to the smaller central obstruction. They produce tack sharp images with high contrast, making them a good choice for lunar and planetary observing.
