SANTEL

A relative newcomer to the telescope industry, formed by one of the original Intes master opticians, the quality of these scopes has been shown to be every bit the equal of the other manufacturers, both optically and mechanically. Santel, has produced the very successful MK91 f/13 scope which has been highly sought after by lunar and planetary enthusiasts, as producing the finest images possible from the Mak Cass design. The design also allows the use of focal plane reducers to bring the F ratio to F7.1 for wider fields of view. Their product line has now expanded to include both 6” and 7” models, which have displayed the same attention to detail and quality that has made the MK91 so popular.
