150 mm Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope with a 1800 mm focal length and f/12 focal ratio. The Sky-Watcher Skymax 150 Pro OTA combines a low-expansion borosilicate primary mirror, RAQ and MHTC coatings, 2-inch diagonal and integrated T2 thread.
Designed for high-resolution observation, the Sky-Watcher Skymax 150 Pro OTA uses a 150 mm Maksutov-Cassegrain optical system with a 1800 mm focal length and f/12 focal ratio.
Its long focal length and compact design are particularly suited to detailed observation of the Moon, bright planets and close double stars.
The low-expansion borosilicate primary mirror features Radiant Aluminum Quartz RAQ coatings, while the front meniscus incorporates Sky-Watcher MHTC multi-coatings.
The aluminium optical tube measures only 40 cm in length and weighs 5.6 kg. A 2-inch star diagonal, 28 mm LET eyepiece and 9 × 50 finderscope are supplied.
150 mm Maksutov-Cassegrain Optics
The optical system uses a 150 mm spherical primary mirror combined with a full-aperture meniscus corrector.
The Maksutov-Cassegrain design folds the optical path to provide a 1800 mm focal length within a particularly compact tube.
1800 mm Focal Length at f/12
With its f/12 focal ratio, the Skymax 150 Pro is particularly suited to observations requiring high contrast and magnification.
Sky-Watcher specifically targets detailed lunar observation, bright planets and close double stars.
Borosilicate Primary Mirror
The primary mirror is manufactured from low-expansion borosilicate glass.
This material reduces changes in mirror shape during cool-down and allows the mirror to reach thermal equilibrium more quickly.
Radiant Aluminum Quartz RAQ Coating
The primary and secondary mirrors feature Sky-Watcher Radiant Aluminum Quartz RAQ coatings.
Sky-Watcher specifies 94% reflectivity together with protective layers designed for long-term durability.
MHTC Coating
The front meniscus features Sky-Watcher Metallic High-Transmission Coatings MHTC.
This multi-coating system is designed to maximise light transmission through the corrector.
2-Inch Star Diagonal
A 90° 2-inch star diagonal is supplied.
Adapters also allow the use of standard 1.25-inch eyepieces.
28 mm LET Eyepiece
A 28 mm 2-inch Sky-Watcher LET eyepiece is included.
With the telescope's 1800 mm focal length, it provides approximately 64× magnification.
Integrated T2 Thread
The optical tube incorporates a T2 thread for attaching a compatible camera with the appropriate T-ring.
This connection is particularly useful for lunar and planetary imaging.
Internal Focusing
Focusing is achieved by internally moving the primary mirror using the focusing knob.
This arrangement maintains the compact mechanical design of the telescope.
Compact Design
Despite its 1800 mm focal length, the optical tube measures only 40 cm long.
With a weight of 5.6 kg and a 45 mm dovetail bar, it can be installed on a range of suitably rated mounts.
