The Maksutov-Cassegrain is a compact and powerful optical design that combines a front meniscus lens and two mirrors. The optical tube is closed by the front meniscus, keeping the mirrors protected from atmospheric agents such as humidity, dust and pollution. The tube is short but the focal length is long allowing high magnification with the standard eyepieces. With maximum practical magnification of 204x , this Sky-Watcher Telescope will reveal details in Saturn’s rings, Jupiter’s bands, the Martian polar ice caps, and the phases of Venus and the moon.

Billy Kirkbright shared this snap to the Sky-Watcher Australia Facebook group of himself and a mate setting up for a night's observing with a pair of Sky-Watcher 250p (10") Dobsonians.
Nothing beats getting out under the stars with a few friends!

Stephen MacMahon posted his image of C/2018 Y1 “Comet Iwamoto” to the Sky-Watcher Australia Facebook page.
He used a Skywatcher 120ED Espirit mounted on a Sky-Watcher NEQ6 Pro Mount.
Thanks for sharing this Stephen!
The image resulted from 20 exposures from a Cannon 600D. ASA 1600. Exposures from 30 to 60 secs. Registax was used to create this image.
