PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Celestron 700 f/15 Maksutov-Cassegrain OTA is a highly specialized optical tube built for high-contrast, planetary and lunar observations. With a long 2700mm focal length and narrow f/15 focal ratio, it delivers extremely sharp, high-magnification views of small celestial objects, while suppressing chromatic aberration to near-zero levels.

This Maksutov-Cassegrain optical design uses a corrector plate and a spherical primary mirror, coupled with a small secondary spot coating — eliminating the need for frequent collimation. Its long optical path in a compact tube makes it ideal for those needing precision from a grab-and-go package.

Whether you're observing planetary detail from the city or imaging smaller deep-sky objects from dark skies, the Celestron 700 Mak-Cass offers a serious performance edge. Compact, rugged, and easy to transport, this OTA is a superb choice for astrophotographers and visual astronomers who prioritize high contrast and sharp resolution.
