Hi Mike,
The Meade SN-10 is a Schmidt Newtonian, not a Maksutov Newtonian. The curves in the Schmidt Corrector are much easier to generate and it is a lot thinner than a corresponding aperture Makstov Corrector. This is evidenced by the fact that Meade Schmidt Cassegrains are available in apertures up to 16". These use the same corrector as would be used in a 16" Schmidt Newtonian.
Cheers,
John B
