I can attest to the Maksutov being a brilliant design.

Whilst my limited time often sees me dragging out the little Skywatcher 127 Mak for brief glimpses at a clear sky, the images it throws out are ridiculously great for the price I paid for it. But of course its aperture is what it is, thus limited. On the occasion that I have the energy to set up my 8” Tec Mak, with conditions allowing, I am always absolutely blown away! Extremely large (and unaffordable to most) Apo views with a more limited field of view (perfect for planets, galaxies, planetary nebulae and globulars) is what I see this scope as being the absolute master of!

Take measures to manage the dew and these things are amazing!!
