The Maksutov optical system is one of the most valued optical constructions, widely appreciated for its mobility, ease of use and multi-functionality. It is an excellent choice of both astronomical observations, as well as earth observations and aircraft observations. Excellent optics provide an extremely sharp image throughout the field of view. The telescope consists of the meniscus correction board, the main mirror and the secondary mirror placed on the inner part of the meniscus. These telescopes have a reduced coma and show only a substantial chromatic aberration, giving very sharp and expressive images. A great advantage of the Maksutov telescopes is the compact and compact design and light weight. Due to their large focal length and low light, they are perfectly suitable for planetary observations. This type of construction works well in urban environments, where the main emphasis is on solar system objects, and smaller on nebulae.

The Sky-Watcher HEQ-5 Pro SynScan paralormal assembly was designed for users who need both the high stability needed for amateur astrophotography and advanced visual observations, while providing relatively small weight and mounting size. The assembly was equipped with two-axis drives, the GOTO SynScan computer system, the polar field scope, solid locking clamps in the axis of right ascension and declination, the counterbalance rod built into the head (pull-out). The tripod is based on 1.75 "legs and offers maximum stability of the whole set.The maximum lifting capacity is about 16 kg, with a mass of 19 kg. Mounting the optical tube for mounting is possible with the standard dovetail mounting rail (included) female dovetail, in the pictures a male dovetail is attached to a tripod - the dovetail is equipped with optical tubes, it is not equipped with the assembly).
The GoTo SynScan remote control is a full and extended version that allows tracking and finding objects in the sky. The SynScan remote control provides three tracking speeds: stellar, lunar, solar objects in Dual Axis (RA) modes, RA (RA axis). The following alignment procedures are available: One-star Alignment, Two-star Alignment, Three-star Alignment.
The database contains 25 definable objects by the user, as well as a full database of Messier, NGC and IC objects (13,436 objects in total). The pilot has also been programmed to easily find planets or the moon. Among its advanced features, it is worth paying attention to the mode of minimizing vibrations during long exposure shooting and software error correction periodic (PEC) as well as PC ports to control the telescope using a computer (RS-232 port) and Auto-Guide to precise alignment during photography with a tracking camera.
