Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope for Adults & Kids, Sarblue Mak60 Catadioptric Compound Telescope 750x60mm, Compact Portable Travel Telescope with Tripod & Phone Adapter

The Sarblue Planet Mate Maksutov-Cassegrain 60: A Design of Simplicity, Power, and Ingenuity

Named after the Soviet/Russian optician and astronomer Dmitri Maksutov, who invented this telescope design in 1941, the Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope offers superb optical performance. Unlike the more widely known refractor or Newtonian reflector, this design corrects the known optical problems such as coma (found in reflector telescopes) and chromatic aberration (found in refractors). The result is high-contrast, detailed views of both terrestrial and celestial targets.

Despite its compact tube, the Mak60 provides great viewing capacity as a beginner telescope. In ideal conditions, it can help you explore Saturn, Jupiter's moons, and more. This makes it an excellent portable travel companion.

The Maksutov-Cassegrain mechanism gives the Sarblue Planet Mate 60 telescope an extremely compact tube, making it very lightweight and portable, perfect for travel and stargazing on the go. The telescope is also equipped with an erect-image diagonal, enabling clear terrestrial viewing with the high-quality optics, which offer almost no aberrations, presenting crystal-clear, true-to-life natural scenes.

The original design of a detachable lid revealing the internal structure of the telescope makes it a great educational tool. You can even see how light travels with some simple tools, making it an appealing kit for young minds. However, it's important to avoid touching the mirrors with your fingers and keeping the telescope free from dust.

To use the Mak60, simply turn the focus knob until you get a sharp view. Due to the Maksutov-Cassegrain design, the focus knob may require many turns to complete the adjustment. Two triangle humps on the tube help you aim at your target – position your eye at the end of the telescope and adjust until the two triangular humps and the target overlap.

The telescope tube has a standard 1/4-inch screw hole at the bottom, allowing it to be mounted on most tripods. You can use different tripods to suit your viewing needs.

The Sarblue Planet Mate 60 telescope delivers sharp, crystal-clear views, thanks to its Maksutov-Cassegrain design, high-precision fully multi-coated optical glass lens, and minimized spherical and chromatic aberrations. It enables both vivid daytime viewing of birds and wildlife, as well as astronomical exploration of celestial objects like Saturn, Jupiter, and the Moon's craters.

This beginner telescope is a perfect gift for kids or adult astronomy enthusiasts. It comes with a one-year hassle-free warranty and 24-hour friendly customer service, ensuring your satisfaction. With its compact, portable design and educational features, the Sarblue Planet Mate 60 is a versatile and appealing choice for those new to the world of telescopes.
