An upgrade from the 90mm Mak, this 130mm Mak offers images that are twice as bright as the 90mm, allowing for better performance in low light conditions. The Maksutov optical design is recognized for being a portable design that is easy to use and has a variety of applications, making it an excellent choice for both terrestrial and astronomical usage. This C130 Mak has excellent optics with razor sharp images over a wide field. The C130 Mak features an internal flip mirror design which allows the user to view celestial objects at a 90 degree angle and also corrects the image orientation to view land objects at a 45 degree angle. This model features durable black rubber armor for protection and comes complete inside its own soft sided carrying case. The C130 Maks mounting bar is designed to work with a traditional heavy duty photo tripod and is also adaptable to Celestrons Advanced GT equatorial mount.
