Features
- MK105 telescope; for planetary visual and planetary photography; for advanced planetary; binary star visual users and planetary photography users
- There is no chromatic aberration in imaging using the MK105 catadioptric astronomical telescope; the imaging principle of the astronomical telescope is the reflection of light; and there is no dispersion of light; so the entire optical system does not need to worry about the chromatic aberration of imaging; it is suitable for outdoor observation of celestial bodies such as the moon and planets
- The MK105 catadioptric astronomical telescope is compact and short; making it easy to carry around; for astronomical telescopes with the same focal length; the overall length of the telescope is only about half of that of the refractor telescope; the metal mirror body structure ensures the stability of the optical structure during transportation
- MK105's secondary mirror coating adopts high-reverse electrolyte coating technology; which greatly improves the imaging contrast of observation targets such as planets; at the same time; the tapered extinction tube design is adopted; the extinction efficiency is significantly improved; and stray light is prevented from interfering with the viewing experience
- The barrel of the MK105 telescope adopts the design of double star-seeking bases; one built-in base and one leaky base; which is convenient for customers to connect more necessary astronomical accessories; in addition; the lens barrel is equipped with a standard 75-degree mounting dovetail plate; which is easy to install and is compatible with mainstream brand equatorial mount mounting bases

The media could not be loaded. This svbony 105 maksutov with a celestron x-cel lx 5mm eyepiece which gives 272x magnification, very good for the Moon and can give a fairly clear image of Saturn despite quite a bit of light pollution. Obviously you need to lower the magnification to a comfortable 120 to 150 to maintain vivid color in planetary. Considering it's only 105mm aperture, it shows quite a noticeable difference compared to a startravel 120, thanks to the absence of chromatic aberration. Photos taken with the phone on the eyepiece and slightly fixed with the basic program. It also shows a very sharp image with binoviewers during daylight. Updated: In high light pollution Parts used: svbony 18mm ultra flat field svbony 15mm swa svbony 6mm red svbony 30mm spl split double stars. Algieba Mizar Zeta Aquarii Neptune identifiable as a small blue dot with 30mm. With higher magnification the bluish tone was lost. Moon with binoviewers, recommended. And it was excellent in live view on the Moon and Jupiter. The mount used was a SW AZ GTI and an SV 305 camera. Update July 2/2025 for 127MK At the moment, I can only say that the quality of this 127MK is excellent. Everything is smooth, even its metal cover. It's magnetic and very easy to remove or keep in place. I hope to conduct a test and comparison soon, as well as evaluate the collimation process if necessary. I also hope to have the time and weather to add good photos with the svbony 705C. Comparison of the SV48P 102mm Achromatic and the Mak 127. July 8, 2025 First of all, the Mak arrived perfectly collimated. With the moon practically full, the SV 48P, using the SV231 and Moon filters at the same time, and the SV 135 zoom lens, showed good image quality at different magnifications. At the same time, and after both telescopes had acclimated outdoors, the Mak 127 showed a more pleasant image and better details for my eye, although the brightness was very similar at similar magnifications. An ED or apochromatic refractor would probably have been a better competitor, although I don't think by much. After a few hours and without the moon, and knowing what to expect from the refractor (see review on SV48), I simply switched the BinoViewers to the Mak 127. 150x. Brighter and more colorful view of the planet. 180x. More pleasant and sharp view. 225x. The view is still clear and very similar to 180x, only larger, obviously. For me, around 200x is where Saturn starts to become a pleasure to observe. 300x. A forced but sustainable view. The best view of Saturn I've ever experienced was at 400x with Binoviewers on a 200mm Dobsonian. Color and detail. I could almost touch it. The one I got today with the Mak 127 was the second best. Conclusion for now: The best grab-and-go telescope for viewing planets for me is the Mak 127. Although I haven't experimented with the reducer yet, which could make the Mak the most versatile and easy-to-use telescope on my SW AZ-GTI mount.

Quality construction, all metal parts and focus knob is super smooth. Paint finish on the tube is nice. I have it paired with a sky watcher AZ Gte mount and so far it has been impressive. My only complaint is that there appears to be dust or specks of mirror finish between the objective lenses. I tried to take a picture to show that the dust is inside, not outside, you can see the reflection of the outer lens with the dust behind it. I don’t know if it affects viewing but it doesn’t look good from the front.

I really enjoy using this telescope for planetary as well as solar and lunar imaging. Takes some practice to focus so I suggest practice during day time at distant objects. It only accommodates 1.25 optics. Good bang for your buck!

Super lightweight, great quality, and very portable. Was packed very well and even sealed against moisture. Never needs collimating and doesn't get out of alignment in transit. I should have bought this a long time ago as it is worlds better than larger newtonians- I can mount this on an AZ mount or a sturdy Photo tripod. I got this to attach a DSLR to primarily but no doubt it's fun using an eyepiece. I enjoy larger focal lengths for lunar or planetary and this Telescope is really bright even though it's f-stop is a somewhat higher than my telephoto lenses. I can't wait to do some lunar focus stacking with this scope.

I have owned this telescope for almost three months now. This is my second unit. The first one was out of collimation and impossible to collimate. I have collimated Maksutovs before. This one had some optical components alignment problems. It was sent back and two weeks later the second one arrived. As soon as it was removed from the box I heard a rattle. It was coming from a loose meniscus lens. The retaining ring had been left too far out. This could not be from transportation alone. I placed the telescope upright with the meniscus looking up, tapped on the sides to make sure that it was in its place on the cell and tightened the retaining ring just enough for a snug fit. Everything seemed alright. On first light I did a star test and again this unit was also out of collimation. This time I was able to properly collimated using a star at high power. After collimation an analysis of the in and out of focus star images showed no astigmatism or pinched optics but it was definitely showing more spherical aberration than it should. The in focus star image revealed a good Airy disc surrounded by a bright first diffraction ring but also secondary diffraction rings that were brighter than they should. In other words too much defocused light around the star indicating spherical aberration. Another reviewer placed defocused star images that show the problem. The planet Jupiter showed the atmospheric bands but I noticed a lack of crisp focus. This was under excellent seeing conditions with Jupiter at a high altitude in the sky. I live at 18 degrees north latitude. I carried on observations of Jupiter as long as I could until it was too low in the western sky. In all the observations the lack of crisp focus was there. On the moon the telescope did a good job but there was this lack of crisp focus that you expect in a Maksutov design, a telescope for the planets and moon. On double stars the optics were more forgiving but that fuzzy unfocused light was there. I own other Maksutovs that are more or less similar to this one in terms of cost and performance. Usually I can push them to a bit higher magnification than what is recommended and definition on extended objects like the planets and moon holds quite well. On the MK105 definition degraded rapidly when nearing the maximum recommended magnification of 200x with premium orthoscopic eyepieces. Regarding the telescope overall construction, it is excellent with a good solid metal structure and a very smooth focuser devoid of image shift. This is a big plus. Collimation screws are easily accessible and covered with a plastic plug. The meniscus lens dust cover is adequate but should fit more firmly. The dovetail is good enough for most mounts and the two finder or accessory mounts are very nice. For deep sky objects in which low power is usually utilized, the MK105 performs well but at f/14 this is a telescope primarily for planetary and lunar observations and imaging. With just a little more spherical aberration correction this telescope would be a champ among other 100-105mm Maks. This is my second sample of the MK105 but I am not the only one that has noticed the spherical aberration. I wrote SvBony about this and they mentioned passing this information to their optical technicians. All of my other SvBony products have shown superb quality. This is their first Maksutov design. I am sure that they will resolve this problem if they have not done so already. I have been in this hobby for 58 years and know my way around most types of telescopes.
