- Apochromatic Compound Optical Path
- 2" Dual-Speed Crayford Focuser
Sky-Watcher's 7.5" f/5.3 Maksutov-Newtonian Telescope features a hybrid optical path that combines the parabolic mirror of a Newtonian with the front corrector plate of a Maksutov to create an optic that corrects for spherical and chromatic aberrations, and comas across the entire field of view. An added benefit of the front corrector plate is that the secondary mirror can be attached to it, removing the struts and supports found in traditional Newtonians and eliminating the diffraction spikes they cause which can degrade the image. The resulting views through the scope are bright and clear with virtually no distortion across the entire field of view with true color rendition.

question
I am interested in the - Mak-Newt 190 from Skywatchers. I have a new CGEM mount. Will this mount be adequate as far a weight? Only addition weight would be a DSLR or imager with off-axis guiding. I have an auto-guider for a different scope so I might use one?
Yes. I have the SW 190mm Mak Cas and according to skywatcher weighs about 23 pounds. I have a skywatcher EQ6 mount that is rated for 40 pound capacity and the mount handles it easily. I see from Celestron the CGEM is also rated at 40 pound capacity. Shouldn't be a problem.
