Review on πŸ”­ Celestron C90 Mak Spotting Scope (Black) for Advanced Optical Exploration by Rickey Ortega

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I really like my first telescope.

This c90 telescope is good for observing the planets and moon and is affordable compared to other telescopes. Not an easy decision. There are many Mac 90mm, 102mm and more scopes to choose from. After buying a telescope. You're going to need a few other things. A particularly good tripod. good viewfinder. And let's get to the engine. Then you can think about buying a Barlow eyepiece and some filters. And a few more things. If you want to take photos you need a good DSLR, or you can start with a smartphone camera if it has a Pro mode. However, you need a prefix to connect your smartphone to the telescope. The quality of what you see through the scope is very good, especially the Moon, Saturn and Jupiter. Photography is a slightly different story as the image from the camera may not be as clear as the image through the eyepiece. A significant amount of training and work can be required to achieve what you want to achieve while exploring the solar system. But the whole experience is a lot of fun. The only real downside is that the viewfinder needs to be replaced. And the fact that the telescope tube is not lined.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Upgrades

Great travel scope for casual viewing, but, it is -not- the best choice for your DSLR/T-mount!
