Review on πŸ”­ Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope for Adults & Kids: Astronomy Beginners, Sarblue Mak60 Catadioptric Compound Telescope 750x60mm – Compact & Portable Travel Scope with Tabletop Tripod & Phone Adapter by Corey Vaz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Compact, inexpensive and true to detail with 37.5x magnification and smartphone adapter!

Exceptionally compact size, very portable, fits easily in the bottom of my regular backpack for pickups and day trips for photography and works great with my iPhone SE2 as a camera. Clear optics, clear and precise with very little aberration or other optical defects // Front lens cover is a rubber dust magnet (only one downside so far) Super cleaver door opens to look at the light path and the internal one Optics is super cool for students of all ages! The small tripod is ideal for table or floor use. I was able to mount it on boulders and other ledges for photography. The erect image is usable as daytime terrestrial binoculars and also very cool compared to other inverted imaging telescopes of similar performance. For 60mm device with 750mm focal length in 200mm housing. , the device works great and the focus knob is very smooth! We recommend it as an alternative to your large telescope or as an ideal first telescope for young inquisitive minds. I'm a 37 year old battery and phone repair technician with an interest in optics and found this to be one of the coolest optics I've ever bought and at a very reasonable price! Thank you Sarblue!
