Sky-Watcher Mak90/1250 Telescope on StarQuest Mount

• Quality optics. Sharp, crisp, high-contrast image.
• Ideal on planets (Jupiter, Saturn) and the Moon
• Easy to carry, lightweight and compact.
• StarQuest Equatorial Mount (Motorizable)

The smallest model in the Maksutov-Cassegrain range offered by Sky-Watcher, The Mak90 is very portable thanks to its great compactness and lightness . The primary mirror, combined with the secondary mirror and a multi-layer treated concave meniscus, gives surprising results in planetariums. Observing Saturn, Jupiter or the Moon is very pleasant. . Complemented with long focal length eyepieces, observing the brightest deep sky objects such as the Great Orion Nebula (M42) or the Hercules Cluster (M13) will satisfy the curious beginner.

The StarQuest equatorial mount offers great stability with the Mak90 even at high magnifications, as well as good robustness for an entry-level instrument. It also allows precise positioning in the sky thanks to the flexible rods present on each axis. Derived from the Star Adventurer travel frame, It incorporates its design, the clamping system on each axis and the quality of the tracking.

The male dovetail placed under the optical tube fits over the female dovetail of the mount. The equatorial mode design allows, after mounting (simple adjustment of the mount's orientation toward the pole star), to compensate for rotation not on two axes (altazimuth mount) but on only one. The Mak90's portability and versatility will make it an ideal instrument for the nomadic astronomer also tempted by terrestrial observation . Landscapes, animals, birds, or architectural details will then be the main objectives. The set is compact, lightweight, and easily transportable for those who wish to observe under the best skies, quickly set up their equipment on their balcony/table, or take their telescope on trips or vacations.
