does this exist (Mak)

[nightfisher]

Does any one make a 150mm Gregorian or Rumak Maksutov with a focal length of 1400mm or less?

I know Intes micro did the Alter M603 at F10 1500 but very rare and hard to fnd

They still make them.

They also make the M606 which is the same aperture but even shorter focal length at 912mm.

D4n that link seems a bit iffy but i got it in the end, but at that price it will never happen thanks for linking to it though

I wonder what this one would be like ? (does not quite fit your spec though Jules):

http://ensoptical.co.uk/santel-mk7-180mm-f10-maksutov-cassegrain

Apparently Santel was started by one of the top Intes optical engineers. The name sounds rather naff but the scope looks interesting.

Intes micro used to make a focal reducer for their Maksutovs...

Hi Jules,

 

It isn't my link it is viglinks redirecting perfectly good links to adds.

 

All the links on this site seem to go via viglinks now.

Copy and paste gets around it.

Intes-Micro 150 F10(M603) Rumaks go for around £600 2nd hand. They come up now and again on astrobuysell etc. I had the baby 127 F10(M500). A wonderful scope and one that I wish I still had

 

ps: That Santel on the ENS site, sure looks like a Intes MK72 (180 F10). I had one and going between my pics and the ones on there, lead me to think that. The Santel's had a moving mirror focusing system, the Intes MK72 had a fixed mirror and 2" crayford.

Cheers Andy, and good to see you still lurking on here as the resident Tal guru, i think a 150K would be easier to source than the M603 and probably a few quid cheaper but the 200k i had put me of these

Just as i thought, i guess it does not exist
