See the heavens in a whole new way with the Konus MotorMax 90 Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope with RA Motor Drive. This unique telescope incorporates the features of four different telescope styles for optimum performance and power. It uses both the lenses of refractor telescopes and the mirrors of Newtonian scopes and combines the compact design of Schmidt-Cassegrains with the exotic design of Maksutov-Cassegrains. The result is a telescope model with a wider field of vision and a crisper clearer view that is easy to set up and store.

The Konus MotorMax 90 also features a built-in flip-mirror system that allows for a straight-down 90-degree viewing angle. By flipping the mirror and adding the included star diagonal the viewing angle can be shifted to 45 degrees. Fully multi-coated lenses allow for optimum light entrance and distribution and long eye relief offers optimum comfort especially for eyeglass wearers. A 3.5-inch-diameter aperture offers a wide magnification range of 20x to 180x which allows for equally clear vision of a nearby bird on a branch and deep-space objects. Additionally the Konus MotorMax 90 is equipped with a compact Equatorial mount with a motorized RA that tracks stars easily. Includes an attached finderscope an adjustable aluminum tripod with a 3-pound counterweight and a moon filter to reduce excessive reflected light.
