Discover why "Maks" are renowned for their sharp imaging and visual observation with the new Sky-Watcher Skymax 200DX Maksutov Cassegrain Telescope
The Sky-Watcher Skymax 200DX Maksutov Cassegrain Telescope is a premium 200 mm optical system built for astronomers and astrophotographers who want exceptional sharpness, strong contrast, and consistent field flatness across a large image circle.
Designed around an optimised flat field Maksutov Cassegrain layout, the Skymax 200DX delivers clean, accurate performance for detailed visual observation and high resolution imaging.
With an effective aperture of 200 mm and a focal length of 2000 mm at F10, this telescope excels at revealing fine surface detail on the Moon and planets while also delivering strong results on compact deep sky targets. Its advanced optical design helps suppress off axis coma and other aberrations, producing consistent star images from the centre of the field right through to the edge.
For imaging applications, the Skymax 200DX includes a generous 44 mm image height, making it well suited for modern large sensor cameras and full frame astrophotography workflows. For users wanting wider fields and faster exposure times, an optional 0.7x focal reducer is available, expanding flexibility without taking away from the telescope’s refined optical purpose.
Despite its high performance optical profile, the Skymax 200DX remains compact and well balanced, making it a practical option for permanent observatory setups or portable imaging rigs when paired with a suitably rated equatorial mount.
