- Might MakMak-cass design brings several benefits which distinguishes the telescope from others. Foremost, it largely reduces aberrations and renders crisp and clear views. Plus its quality fully multi-coated optical components, high precision, high reflectivity of the coating and not easy to oxidize. Make terrestrial objects look more vivid and vibrant, and celestial objects magnificent.
- Compact & PowerfulMaksutov-Cassegrain optical design allows 1000mm focal length folded in 210mm length tube. 70mm aperture allows the greater the amount of light entering the telescope and the higher the resolution. It's a camping telescope, easy to pack the compact and lightweight telescope in any backpack and take it for travel.
- Micro Tripod DesignIn pursuit of a more precise and comfortable calibration experience, Sarblue equipped the MAK70 with a micro-movement tripod. The perfect combination of quick motion and slow motion can make you regret not having it sooner.
- Adjustable TripodThe tripod can be adjusted from 23inch to 56inch. It can support most available telescope tubes, as well as most DSLR cameras which it with a dovetail. You can attach the telescope to a field tripod with a 3/8" or 1/4"-20 threaded post.
- AccessoriesThis telescope comes with 20mm quality eyepiece which brings 50X magnification, 10mm photographic eyepiece which brings 100X magnification. A universal phone mount with 1.5X Barlow Lens to attach your phone and do simple astrophotography. 5X24 finderscope with adjustable angle and position.Aluminum alloy integrated telescope tube brings more stronger texture.

I consider myself a "professional amateur" in the sense that I've had formal training in and am far deeper in the astronomy hobby than most, and for over 40 years. Even though I have loads of equipment, I bought this on a whim out of curiosity. Over the course of 3 weeks, this scope just earned its place as my grab-n-go, goto, and photography scope. First, I'm very attracted to the Maksutov platform as it is both compact, and the design has optical properties that make it inherently "all purpose". Deep sky scopes are often f/4 to f/6. Planetary scopes are usually f/15 - f/20. Maks usually run the range f/10 - f/13, so they are a "middle ground" that lets them swing both ways. My first attraction was that this scope had an unusually long focal length for its size. When I did the numbers for the 70mm, I came to f/14.3 which surprised me. I immediately thought this scope might be better suited for my astrophotography interests. I did some googling around to find that a few others were already playing with the 60mm version doing exactly that and getting better results than I would have expected. So I decided that the 70mm was worth a shot for the price. I was pleased from the point I first received the box. Has a nice box outer box (laminated cardboard) with plastic handle. Every component is individually boxed inside. It's trivial to repack and carry this way if you don't have anything else. The all important main tube is well made with easy access to culmination screws, accessory ports, etc. Mine was grey instead of the white shown in the ad, but still looks great. The metal stand was heavier and sturdier than I would have expected at this price point. It's solid enough to use for terrestrial photography, but still very compact. The alt-az gimble surprisingly has micrometer drive adjustments on both axies. Nice touch! OK, sure we know they have to cut corners somewhere to get this price point if they are giving you a decent main tube and stand. Well, the diagonal prism and eyepieces have all plastic bodies instead of the usual metal. They view finder is primitive, but functional. I tried all the pieces as is and was blown away the first night out. Specifically, on M42 (great nebula) using the 20mm eyepiece I could easily see 4 stars in the trapezium cluster. You have no idea how many low end scopes fail this test. I dropped in the 10mm eyepiece and the trapezium became 5 stars! Now I'm really getting interested. Despite the small size of this scope, I could easily see the nebulosity and dust lanes in and around M42. I slewed over to a bright star and did the diffraction rings test in and out of focus. I was amazed how clean and sharp the diffraction rings and disk were. I replaced the original diagonal and eyepieces with much higher end stuff out of my collection and it only gets better. Again - blown away. Beat every scope in this class I've used over the years, except for a Questar - and that's really saying something. Attached, I have a 1,000 meter image of the antenna on a hospital building across town. This was done using eyepiece projection with my cell phone and the projection kit they include in the package. I found the projection kit to be better than most in how it secures to the scope. You can make out the mortar in the bricks and start to see the words on the warning signs near the electrical stuff. The sunspots photo was taken using a CCD imager and a objective solar filter (a 90mm diamter cap is needed). Sorry, the CCD software does some funky dithering that may create a grid effect when viewed at the wrong zoom level. Just try to expand or shrink the image to see it smoothly. With little effort, this was one of the best sunspot images I've captured over the years and I can take it to twice the resolution shown. I'm not saying this scope is perfect, but it offers a lot for the price. If you're a beginner, everything you need is in the box. Even if you're super experienced, this scope might still fill a niche with your current kit. Did for me. I use mine with an iOptron motorized tracking mount. Imaging stuff like the ring nebula (M57) that requires magnification is no problem for this beastie. Cannot wait to go after some challenge objects as the results I am getting are better than the two other small scopes this unit just displaced.

Easy to set up. Instructions manual a little light on assembly instructions. Youtube is your friend for clarity. Nice clear views. Looking forward to setting up with a phone for pictures. I think the stand would benefit with some extra weight for stability. Overall an affordable option for someone just getting started in the hobby.

If you are looking for a telescope to get into astronomy, THIS IS IT! I can think of very few things that have brought me as much joy as this little scope, it's perfect for everything I have wanted to do so far. With it, you can see clear details of the moon, Jupiter's moons and bands, Saturn rings, split binary stars, and even see messier objects like the plieades. I even made out Uranus with it. For the price the visual quality is great and perfect for simple stargazing. Additionally, it is so easy to carry around and set up. The scope comes off it's mount with ease and the tripod folds up well. The tripod is stable for its weight and size. This scope is so easy to take on a walk or throw in your car to go somewhere. I can't understand any negative reviews of this scope. The truth is they probably just don't know how to use it. I have been using this for a few months now and I feel that there is so much for me to see with it yet. I would advise getting a better eye piece to go with it, I picked up a nice 50 dollar one with variable zoom. Now stop reading reviews and buy this scope!!!

I went to see the total solar eclipse of 2017 with a pair of 15x80 binoculars (with filters, of course) and was totally blown away. I just wished I'd had a more stable view, but I couldn't get my tripod working the way I wanted so I just had to hold it. This April I'm going to see the total solar eclipse again, and I really wanted a telescope so I could get a really nice, stable view. After going through two other much bigger scopes - an equatorial mounted 130mm which proved too incomprehensible for my smooth brain, followed by a computerized az-alt mounted 130mm - I suddenly realized there was no feasible way I was going to be able to bring such a huge telescope + mount + tripod with me on the plane. I also didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a Pelican case, so I realized I'd have to just downgrade to a smaller scope. After reading a bunch of reviews online I settled on this tiny little thing. I was initially skeptical (it looks like a toy!), but after fiddling around a bit I gotta say I'm pretty impressed by the optics, the clarity, and the ease of use. Super easy to put together, super portable, and folds up really nice into something not much bigger than a water bottle. It's pretty nice too that the optical tube mounts easily to any tripod, and has a simple smartphone mount to boot so I can snap some neat pics. I'm looking forward to popping a solar filter on it and taking it to see the eclipse in April!

This item just arrived and it looks like it might be a nice telescope, but it arrived with no documentation…no assembly instructions, no user instructions…nothing. Also I ordered the silver color and the item that arrived is a dark gray…nothing close to the color shown in the photos. I will now try to assemble this thing on my own
