  • Quality optics. Sharp, sharp, high-contrast image
  • Ideal on planets (Jupiter, Saturn) and the Moon
  • Easy to carry, light 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 amazing results in planetarium. The observation of Saturn, Jupiter or the Moon is very pleasant . Complemented by 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.

StarQuest equatorial mount offers great stability with the Mak90 even at high magnifications, as well as good robustness for a starter instrument. It also allows precise positioning in the sky thanks to the flexibles present on each axis. Derived from the Star Adventurer travel framework, 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 parking (simple adjustment of the orientation of the mount towards the North Star) to compensate for rotation not in two axes (altazimuth mount) but only in one. The transportability of the Mak90 and its 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 a trip or vacation.
