Hioptic
6"
Maksutov Cassegrain NMC1900x152
Telescope Review
(May
also
be selling under various own brand names. I think I've spotted it as
Astronomica, Astrozap, Eclipse, Harmonius Optics, T.S.A,
Astro Professional, MC6" and
Nanjing Optical
MC1900x152)

The 152mm Mak has now made its way onto to a Celestron CG5 goto
mount and feels right at home!

CONCLUSION
Some of the issues I had
with
this telescope kit would put off first time astronomers, it's not
exactly an out of the box package for a telescope newbie, but with a
bit of perseverance you can get a really nice piece of kit for not much
money. This scope would probably suit the
intermediate astronomer on a budget. They would appreciates the sharp
views
that a
Maksutov optical design has to offer but have stuck to other cheaper
designs due to
cost. The 152mm Hioptic Mak gives anyone
considering a 6-inch Schmidt or Newtonian the option of corrected
Maksutov optics for similar money but you will have to invest in a
stronger mount than the one supplied as standard.
