The light coming through a MAK\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003epasses through the corrector lens to the primary mirror and back to a spherical secondary mirror before it hits the eyepiece.

Instead of a secondary mirror, the MAK\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efeatures a “secondary spot” of reflective coating applied directly to the inside of the corrector plate. Because of this, the telescope does not require frequent collimation like a Schmidt-Cassegrain. Also, the secondary spot is significantly smaller than a traditional Schmidt-Cassegrain secondary mirror, giving the MAK\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eits signature high-contrast views.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne important thing to note about Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes is that the larger, heavier Maksutov corrector plate takes longer to cool down and adjust to ambient air temperature compared to a Schmidt-Cassegrain of the same aperture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Mount \u0026amp; Technologies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComputerized AltAzimuth Mount – \u003c\/strong\u003eThe NexStar SLT telescope features a single fork arm altazimuth mount, which allows the telescope to track the desired objects as they appear to move across the night sky.
