Review Summary
2011-04-26T21:00:00
This OTA offers very high optical and mechanical quality for a modest price. Collimation was spot on out of the box. Optics provide high contrast and bright views. With the supplied 2 inch visual back, a 38mm 70 degree eyepiece will get you a near 1.5 degree FOV. The OTA is robustly built and the dew shield is a nice touch. The focuser is very smooth with very little image shift. The only negatives would be a moderate cool down time and weight. I guess the tank like construction has its price. All in all, it's really good where it counts... optically and mechanically. The listed specs are off though... it's a 150mm f/12.

After meticulous design and engineering, the iOptron Rumak-type 152mm Maksutov-Cassegrain OTA stands out as a top-tier choice for the dedicated amateur astronomer seeking professional-grade performance. With its substantial 6-inch (152mm) aperture and precise f/12.5 focal length, this telescope is engineered to harness a remarkable amount of light, unveiling the intricate cloud bands of Jupiter and the sprawling grandeur of the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) with exceptional clarity.
The advanced multicoated optics of the MAK 152mm rival the high-contrast, bright views typically associated with a 5-inch apochromatic refractor, yet it is offered at a more accessible price point. This OTA's high-quality, Maksutov-Cassegrain design is renowned for its ability to deliver sharp, detailed images, making it a preferred instrument for serious celestial observation.
The robust construction of the MAK 152mm ensures durability and sturdiness, with a built-in dew shield that enhances performance in cooler temperatures - a feature often not found in Maksutov-Cassegrain OTAs. The OTA's dual-speed focuser allows for smooth, precise adjustments, minimizing image shift and enabling fine-tuning of your observations to achieve peak optical performance.
Whether you're exploring the craters of the Moon, the rings of Saturn, or distant nebulae, the MAK 152mm Maksutov-Cassegrain OTA from iOptron is designed to exceed expectations, offering a sturdy and professional-grade tool for astronomers who value optical and mechanical excellence.
