Compact and portable telescope recommendation

Choosing a compact and portable astronomical telescope depends on your needs and budget. Here are some popular options that might be right for you:

  1. Portable Dobsonian Telescope: Dobsonian telescopes are known for their ease of use and excellent value for money. They come in various sizes, but smaller, more portable models, like the SkyWatcher Heritage 130mm , are a compact option that offers good observing capabilities.

  2. Maksutov-Cassegrain Travel Telescope: Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes are compact and excellent for lunar and planetary observation. The SkyWatcher StarQuest 90 model is portable and offers decent optics in a small package.

  3. Portable Refractor Telescope: Refractor telescopes are known for their compact design and easy maintenance. The SkyWatcher 70mm is an option that may be convenient for travel.

  4. Compact Catadioptric Telescope: Catadioptric telescopes, such as the Schmidt-Cassegrain (SCT) or Maksutov-Cassegrain models, combine lenses and mirrors for more compact optics. The SkyWatcher MAK 127 is an example of a compact and versatile telescope. It is also sold in a version with WiFi so you can control the direction from your smartphone.

Remember that the choice of telescope also depends on what you want to observe. If you are interested in observing planets, the Moon, and bright objects, a telescope with a smaller aperture might be sufficient. If you are interested in fainter objects like nebulae and galaxies, a larger aperture would be beneficial.

Additionally, consider investing in accessories such as quality eyepieces, a stable tripod, and possibly a smartphone adapter if you want to take photos with your telescope. Before purchasing, write to us so we can advise you.
