Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope 60 with Dobsonian Mount, 60mm Aperture 750mm Focal Length, for Kids Adults Beginners Astronomy

Introducing the Maksutov Telescope: A Design of Simplicity, Power, and Ingenuity

The Maksutov telescope, named after its inventor Dmitri Maksutov, a Soviet/Russian optician and astronomer, offers superior optical performance despite being less widely known than refractor or Newtonian reflector telescopes. Designed in 1941, this telescope design corrects the optical problems of coma (found in reflector telescopes) and chromatic aberration (found in refractors), resulting in high-contrast, detailed views of both terrestrial and celestial targets.

The compact Mak60 model, produced by one of the top manufacturers in the industry, is a great choice for beginner astronomers. In ideal conditions, it can help users explore the moon, Saturn, Jupiter's moons, and more. The Mak60 was designed with the goal of making quality optics accessible to the general public, with the majority of the budget allocated to the optical components to provide good value.

Alongside its astronomical capabilities, the Mak60 is also a fun telescope for everyday use, boasting a cute and vibrant color. It features a Dobsonian mount, an astronomical telescope supported by a theodolite, which was designed and developed by the famous American astronomy activist John Dobson in the 1950s. The Dobsonian structure is simple, sturdy, and easy to carry, with its three legs that can be freely extended and retracted by screws, saving storage space.

The Sarblue Maksutov Dobsonian Telescope comes equipped with an industry-standard dovetail plate, allowing it to be used with virtually all telescope mounts. It can also be mounted on a full-size tripod by removing the dovetail, which is easily detachable. Additionally, the telescope tube features a standard 1/4-inch screw hole at the bottom, enabling it to be mounted on most other tripods to suit different viewing needs.

To enhance the packaging aesthetics and user experience, the telescope is presented in a gift box with a simple, atmospheric design and a convenient handle. The internal pearl sponge damping configuration reduces friction and effectively protects the telescope. The included phone holder is compatible with almost all smartphones, allowing users to easily capture and share their stargazing moments.

The Mak60's Maksutov-Cassegrain design ensures smooth and stable focusing, and the two triangular humps on the tube help users aim at their target by aligning the telescope with the object of interest. A built-in finderscope further enhances the ease of use and target acquisition.

In summary, the Sarblue Maksutov Dobsonian Telescope is a versatile and capable instrument that combines the power of the Maksutov design with the simplicity of the Dobsonian mount, making it an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced astronomers. Its compact size, high-quality optics, and user-friendly features make it a great companion for stargazing adventures and educational purposes.
