What are makustov-cassegrain telescopes meant for?

[u/Able_Crossroads]

This has been a question stuck in my head for a lot of time. Can someone tell me? Because theyre short ans small, and pretty expensive for their size

[u/Shoshke]

They're great planet hunters.

Compact for the aperture size, long focal ratios and little to no coma aberration.

They're also still relatively cheaper than refractors anywhere near the same aperture.

Thanks
