DESC: The Celestron Advanced C130-M is a serious Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope, providing great views and a mount that is well suited to photography. It has the CG-5 EQ mount for supreme imagery free of jitters which would make even the best of resolving power irrelevant. The Maksutov design provides sharpness that's a bit superior to the vastly more popular Schmidt-Cassegrains, but they are more difficult for manufacturing and only offered in limited quantities.
