Skywatcher Skymax 180 Black Line Maksutov - 180mm aperture / 2700mm focal length - OTA
... a powerful Maksutov-Cassegrain for Lunar/Planetary observation

Skywatcher BKM180

The Black Line Maksutov 180/2700mm is the biggest model of the Skywatcher Maksutov range. With this system, the manufacturer has designed a specialist for lunar / planetary observation and -photography also.

Fields of use:
With its focal length of 2700mm, this system is ideal for lunar and planetary observation. Even eyepieces with longer focal lengths (and therefor often more comfortable viewing position) lead to relatively high magnification.

A wider field with 2":
Especially for deep-sky-observation, 2" eyepieces are very useful, especially with this focal length. You have a wider field making this telescope also useful for Nebulae and Galaxies. This telescopes comes with a 2" eyepiece receptacle.

The advantages of the BKM180 Maksutov-Cassegrain:
-- Big aperture for deep-sky and high magnification
-- High resolution for moon and planets - superior to similar Schmidt-Cassegrain designs
-- 2" receptacle for wide field eyepieces
-- Main mirror focusing system with nearly no shifting
-- Adjustable optical system
-- Compact dimensions for easy transport

Photography
The BKM 180 has a direct T2 connection. So you can attach your DSLR camera without any problems using a T2 ring for your bajonet system. Together with our web cam and a 2x Barlow lens, this telescope is ideal for planetary imaging, only limited by physical laws.
As a telephoto lens, you have a tack-sharp f/15 system with 2700mm focal length.

Useful information by Teleskop-Service: The Maksutov Cassegrain System

A Maksutov-Cassegrain combines compact design with an image quality that's close to a classical refractor. Compared with fast refractors of the same aperture, the quality is even better because a Maksutov-Cassegrain has no disturbing false colour.

The Maksutov-Cassegrain is also an interesting alternative for astronomers who pay pay attention on high-contrast imaging but need a compact system.

On the other hand, a Maksutov-Cassegrain is not a very "fast" system. Compared with the aperture, the focal length is relatively long. This is ideal for lunar and planetary observation but wide field objects like the Plejades or the Andromeda Galaxy cannot be viewed in their full dimension.

The optical design (see picture above):
Light passes through the meniscus corrector, is reflected by the spherical main mirror and is then directed by the spherical secondary mirror to the focal plane. The abberations of the spherical main mirror are corrected by the Maksutov lens. This causes a good quality either on the optical axis and also off-axis. A further advantage: The Maksutov corrector keeps the OTA closed and makes it less senstive against tube seeing caused by temperature differences.

The secondary mirror transforms the main mirror's focal ratio to the full value of f/10 to f/15 (depending on the individual design).

Focusing:
The image is not focused by an external drawtube but by moving the main mirror by a fine thread. This kind of focusing hat the advantage of a very wide focus range - nearly any accessories can be mounted.
