Questar's telescopes are used in consumer, military, police, security, and industrial applications. Products sold by Questar include 3.5” and 7” aperture Maksutov Cassegrain astronomical/terrestrial telescopes for the consumer market.
Other products included:
- Surveillance versions of their Maksutov Cassegrain models
- Long distance microscopes, an adaptation of their Maksutov Cassegrain telescopes modified to image subjects at close range, used in research and manufacturing process quality control
- Specially built Maksutov Cassegrains for use in test range imaging and radar calibration/boresighting
- The QMax, a portable solar spectrometer built to fit their line of Maksutov Cassegrain telescopes.
While it was produced in very limited numbers, Questar once offered a 12-inch (300 mm)-aperture optical-tube assembly. Some barrels were sold coupled with an equatorial mount based on a Byers drive system. The 12" Questar also found application by NASA for tracking launches optically (see below).

“Good wine needs no bush,
And perhaps products that people really want need no

Why not?
Look at pot.”
