Orion StarMax 90mm op Maksutov-Cassegrain Tele Small But Powerful Portable Tele for Adult & Family Stargazing of Moon, Planets & More

Whoever coined the phrase "big things come in small packages", would have definitely applied that expression to our new StarMax 90 op Tele. This ultra-compact Maksutov-Cassegrain (Mak-Cass) gives surprisingly big views for an instrument of its modest size, making it an elegant first tele or a great grab-and-go second tele! The long, 1250mm (f/13.8) focal length gives the StarMax 90 op some serious magnifying power - the included 25mm and 10mm 1.25" eyepieces yield powers of 50x and 125x, respectively. It collects over 25% more light than its Go 80 cousin, and up to 225% more light than a 60mm refractor tele. So you'll be able to enjoy planetary delights such as lunar landscapes, Saturn's rings and Jupiter's moons. As you scan the Milky Way, you''l also be able to pull in some open and globular star clusters, as well as a nebula or two. The tube assembly of the StarMax 90mm op Mak-Cass Tele is attached to a stable swivel base, via a quick-release dovetail with adjustable altitude tension. The tube can easily be removed from the base and ed on an optional photo tripod. The small swivel base itself can also be ed on a camera tripod with a 3/8" screw. A red-dot view finder, internal focuser (which moves the primary lens back and forth) and included 90-degree correct image diagonal round out the features of this compact, yet surprisingly capable, Mak-Cass tele.
