HOROXHOROX Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescopes for Adults Astronomy, 80mm Aperture 850mm Catadioptric Compound Telescope, Compact Portable Travel Telescope, w. Pro Tripod & Phone Adapter
Main highlights- PORTABILITY: With an 850mm focal length, the telescope tube measures a mere 22cm in length. In contrast, a refractor telescope with the same focal length would necessitate an 85cm tube. This portability makes it exceptionally suitable for camping or hiking.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 80MM OBJECTIVE LENS: The 80mm 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.

SVBONYSVBONY MK105 Telescope, 105mm Aperture Maksutov Cassegrain OTA, Dielectric Coatings Catadioptric Telescope, for Planetary Visual and Photography with 160mm Dovetail Plate
Main highlights- There is no chromatic aberration in imaging using the MK105 catadioptric astronomical telescope; the imaging principle of the astronomical telescope is the reflection of light; and there is no dispersion of light; so the entire optical system does not need to worry about the chromatic aberration of imaging; it is suitable for outdoor observation of celestial bodies such as the moon and planets
- The barrel of the MK105 telescope adopts the design of double star-seeking bases; one built-in base and one leaky base; which is convenient for customers to connect more necessary astronomical accessories; in addition; the lens barrel is equipped with a standard 75-degree mounting dovetail plate; which is easy to install and is compatible with mainstream brand equatorial mount mounting bases
- The MK105 catadioptric astronomical telescope is compact and short; making it easy to carry around; for astronomical telescopes with the same focal length; the overall length of the telescope is only about half of that of the refractor telescope; the metal mirror body structure ensures the stability of the optical structure during transportation
- MK105's secondary mirror coating adopts high-reverse electrolyte coating technology; which greatly improves the imaging contrast of observation targets such as planets; at the same time; the tapered extinction tube design is adopted; the extinction efficiency is significantly improved; and stray light is prevented from interfering with the viewing experience
- MK105 telescope; for planetary visual and planetary photography; for advanced planetary; binary star visual users and planetary photography users
