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

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).
