The optics MN 190/1000:

These optics offer high speed and exceptional performance for astrophotography and visual observation. By additionally used Maksutovlinse of Scotland reached the telescope a very good picture. With 190mm aperture telescope collects more light about 740fach than the naked eye (at 7mm AP). This makes the telescope suitable for both high-contrast lunar and planetary observing, but also offers a great performance in the deep sky observation. The Maksutov-Newtonian telescope is a modified design of Newton, which has a spherical primary mirror with a front mounted and coated meniscus lens. Although it outwardly resembles at first glance a Newton telescope, it provides completely different imaging characteristics. This telescope has been specially optimized for astrophotography and offers over the entire field of excellent correction. The astrophotographer obtained with a CCD or DSLR (eg Canon EOS) camera and a flat, coma-free astrophotography, which is important for the visual aesthetic. Even stars are near the edge dargestelt points and not as distorted as comets. The visuals are quite comparable with apochromatic imaging. The advantage is obvious, because the Mak-Newton is cheaper to purchase a multiple of one Apochomat. Furthermore, this system produces no disturbing color fringing, how it is used in achromat. This telescope is a so-called "closed system". This means that after the cooling of the tube there is no air turbulence, which would be unfavorable for the photography. Because of the meniscus lens can be dispensed with diffracting Fangspiegelstreben. The 58mm wide secondary mirror allows excellent illumination of the field. Through the aperture ratio of f / 5.3, the telescope is photographically bright and hereby allows relatively short exposure times. With 1000mm focal length, most objects are represented adequately. With a half-size chip, as is usual with Canon EOS cameras, you reach a field of approximately 1.4 ° x 1 °. The ball-bearing 2-inch by 1.25 Crayfordauszug reduction allows accurate focusing. Also heavy cameras are still carried safely. With only 10 kg weight, the optics are worn by many mounts. The selection of the mount depends on the purpose of the tube. As highly recommended for astrophotography proves the Skywatcher EQ-6 Pro mount. Even a purely external appearance is a real gem: it features an elegant design in a class, tube and finderscope shimmer in a black aesthetic.
