The Sky-Watcher 127mm Maksutov-Cassegrain gathers a respectable amount of light while still being small and portable. Don't let the short tube fool you, this scope packs a punch. It's short body hides a 1500mm focal length mirror-lens system which delivers up to 254x magnification.
The Maksutov-Cassegrain design is very rugged, low maintenance, and delivers a contrasty image.
