As a personal owner of this scope, it never ceases to amaze me just how good its optics are and is my main planetary imaging scope these days. It is the perfect portable small aperture instrument for lunar and planetary studies along with binary star and planetary nebula observations. It's not surprising that Celestron chose its manufacturer to make their Schmidt-Cassegrains!

The animation above is made up of two images taken on the first night of testing this excellent Maksutov by SkyWatcher using tri-colour filters and the GSTAR-EX camera. Images were stacked and processed with Registax and PhotoShop. This compact cassegrain design is a seriously affordable alternative Cassegrain design very much suited to lunar and planetary observations and imaging as well as yielding beautiful views of many deep sky objects.
