## Description

telescope

Review: Horox/decouvir Maksutov. - Good value, limited aperture, but good for moon and planets. Nice slo-mo controls but tripod a bit on the flimsy side. Good package for the price.
Review: Great little scope. Fantastic with some extra accessoirs. - I was looking for a small scope for travel. Small enough to go on a plane. I was not expecting too much for $99 (60 mm version), but was pleasantly surprised. Let me summarize: pros: 1. small enough for travel on an airplane. 2. good optics. The included eye pieces suck (always with small scopes. see below. Large scopes usually don't even include eyepieces). BUT, with my high-end Baader 13mm or my 7mm Astronomics 100 degree ultrawide I get fantastic views. 3. unlike other scopes in this price category, small body and fairly long focal length. The tube is about as big as a large (0.5l) beer can. A 830mm refractor would be 3ft long, at least. 4. At this price you don't expect a usable tripod, but I find this one quite sturdy. Sure, a bit wobbly with extended legs, but anything less wobbly would weigh 10 times as much. Simple trick: hang a weight in the middle and it will be much better. Or put it on a table with short legs. Also more comfy in most situations. 5. The alt/az head is quite sturdy and fairly accurate. Not a goto, but hardly any slack and neither too fast or too slow. Of course, fine tune knobs would be nice, but at this price point? cons: 1. A 45 degree prism would be better than the 90 degree it comes with to stay out of the way of the finderscope. A decent 40 deg prism is $25 at desertcart, get it. 2. The finderscope is flimsy, as expected. I'm trying to put a laser pointer into its holder instead for easier pointing. I'm also considering mounting (velcro or magnet) an electronic digital angle finder on top, so I can adjust the azimuth of objects before starting to hunt. 3. As I said, the eye pieces suck. Get better pieces. At a minimum "SVBONY 4mm 10mm 23mm Telescope Eyepieces Lens Fully Coated Lens Accessories Kit 62 Degree Wide Angle for 1.25 inches Astronomic Telescope" for $40. The 4mm will be barely usable (too much magnification for this small scope, but may be ok for moon and planets). Note that apparent field of view (AFOV) matters more than magnifications. mag = 830mm/xxmm, so for the 10mm you get mag=83. True FOV is the AFOV/mag, so for the 62deg SVBONY TFOV=62deg/83 = 0.75 degrees. The moon ois 0.5 degrees wide, so you just fit the moon. Unfortunately pieces with large AFOV get expensive, but they are a good investment because they fit pretty much any scope. Note that 23mm is about the lowest useful magnification (mag=36, TFOV=1.7 deg). Just OK for large objects like clusters (Pleiades) or the Orion nebula, but larger TFOV requires 2 inch barrels. Maximum magnification is around the 4mm, mag=200, limited by the optics. I'd say mag=100 is about usable for a 60mm, that's what my 7mm Astronomics does just fine, but at a price. 4. The focus knob is just about OK. A bit too fast, 2x slower would be better. Summary: In spite of the cons, which are rather minor, and the $99 price tag, a great value. Excellent for beginners and kids, but even serious amateurs will get something out of it because it's small and easy to set up. If the extra $100 and extra weight/size don't bother you I'd say get the 80mm (gets ~2x the light), otherwise the next step up would be a 100mm or 120mm (4-6 time the light) but at considerably more cost. Better get good eyepieces first.

## Features

- EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAR IMAGES: The Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope is celebrated for its compact design and top-tier optics. Its optical system incorporates a folded light path design, which serves to minimize light dispersion and elevate image quality to a remarkable level.
- 60MM OBJECTIVE LENS: The 60mm objective lens allows more light to enter, providing high resolution. As a result, it excels in nighttime observations of dim and distant celestial objects like Saturn, Jupiter, and the M31 galaxy. During the day, when paired with a smartphone camera, it functions as an outstanding 'telephoto lens,' perfect for capturing intricate details of everyday life.
- EFFORTLESS TARGETING & SWIFT FOCUS: Our self-invented gimbal simplifies object alignment, offering quick and precise adjustments with its two knobs. Furthermore, a handle lock keeps the gimbal securely in place. The Fast Focus feature, along with our patented Focus Indicator, ensures effortless and crystal-clear focusing, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in exploration and observation without wasting time.
- PORTABILITY: With an 830mm focal length, the telescope tube measures a mere 22cm in length. In contrast, a refractor telescope with the same focal length would necessitate an 83cm tube. This portability makes it exceptionally suitable for camping or hiking.
- ADJUSTABLE & ROBUST TRIPOD: Crafted from reinforced aluminum alloy, this tripod boasts a sturdy and stable design. Its broad base covers a maximum area of 3.6 square feet, providing ample support. With a maximum height of 46.45 inches, it accommodates various heights and allows for a variety of observation postures.
