9" Maksutovs?

In a forum recently, I noted someone posting an image taken with a 9" Mak.
However, the person didn't mention their brand. So I ask: what firms make
9" Maks and how do they compare?

Thanks,
Eric

I had a 6" and it was SUPER. Wish I still had it.

Intes makes a nine-inch Mak? That's gotta be a heavy scope, considering the
thickness of the glass, and the cool down times must be murder !

Intes isn't making anything any more.

I beleive I read that they got out of the telescope business about 2 months
ago. Does anyone
know if that is really the case?

Thanks,

Mark pointed me in the right direction. Intes either does or did make a 9"
Mak called the MK-91. It weighed about 30 lbs and had a cooldown time of at
least 2 hours on average, plus they later added a cooldown fan so there must
have been issues with cooldown. I own a C9.25, which I find to be a good
scope in its own right, but I was thinking of switching to a 9" Mak.
However, the switchover wouldn't be an easy or inexpensive one as my mount
wouldn't handle the extra weight and my pocketbook wouldn't handle the
expenses.

Thanks again folks,
Eric

Mark D said Intes *Micro*, not Intes. A lot of the same people and
largely similar designs as I understand it, but a different company.

Anyway, I can't find a 9" Mak listed by Intes Micro, but I did see 8"
and 10" (and larger - up to 16"!) Mak-Cass and Mak-Newts.

names , but nevertheless, all these comments explain why women are reluctant
to post anything on this group.

Most women here don't have profiles like julieintampa.
Besides, we're talking scopes. What were you thinking, perv ?
Actually, I think she's pretty kewl. My kind of amateur

Does it come with double cheeze?
