A solid construction and a great first telescope to start astronomy. Easy to set up and offering a nice image.
If it would have been delivered with a bag to transport it, it would have got 5 stars.
The MAK-90 is a great beginner's telescope for planetary viewing and astrophotography. It is light, compact, portable and easy to set up and use making it easy to take along with you on trips. The supplied Plossl eyepieces provide good and clear magnification making for enjoyable experience. All in all a great beginner's telescope at a very reasonable price.
I recently bought and used the MAK 90 telescope to capture moon, its compact and easy to carry and setup. Will try to capture planets soon.
I got this MAK90 to replace my old MEADE ETX 90 which was well used, but now the mirrors have gotten a little scratched and its due for replacing. The MAK90 has great viewing optics, its much brighter, when compared to the Meade which is good, because now I can choose my filters rather than having to live with pre-coated lens. All in all I'm very satisfied with the value, portability, and power of this nice little scope.
Well built and simple to use. I attach my Canon 80D to the telescope and focusing is simple and user friendly with the required attachments. I pre-ordered this item and customer service was great in ensuring I received to quickly when it was released. It's a great addition to my Move Shoot Move items!
It’s very light and handy to use
The mak 90 is the perfect user friendly portable scope with it's solid construction and value for money it complements my astrophotography gear perfectly
Great optics for the price. The included eyepieces are very nice and and very wide view. The mirror flip feature is very convenient for camera use. I would've given 5 stars, but the finder mount is smaller than the standard dovetail size of so you'll have to find, or make an adapter if you want to use a different red dot, or finder scope. The included red dot is pretty useless and poor quality.
I had been having difficulty doing polar alignment with the illuminator supplied by Skywatcher. Purchasing the Quick Polar Finder by MSM has totally eradicated any problems I encountered. It is quick, easy to use and accurate and has made my initial difficulties with polar alignment a thing of the past.
Excellent and robust product to establish initial polar alignment with the Star Adventurer 2i before fine-tuning with the units polarscope.
MSM has took my astro photography to the next level. Low noise images is no longer a dream. It’s is compact and portable, polar aligning is easy, my whole setup is 2-3kg and it handles it very well! Definitely recommend!
MSMs polarscope is a very nice addition to my portable grab-and-go astrophotography collection. Finally, a chance to experiment with a longer lens! Do a quick alignment with the lazer, and then tune that alignment with the polarscope. With care and patience, it is very quick to polar align and start capturing light. My first light test on Sadr in Cygnus with one minute subs at 135mm show no sign of trailing. (Bortle 4, Nikon d5500, Samyang 135mm, 64 lights and 24 darks, stacked in Siril). Very happy with the results from the addition of MSMs polarscope. Using the universal bracket for lazer and polarscope also makes things tidy, lightweight, and easy to setup.
Love the laser pointer and the brackets. Fit perfectly. It gets the alignment done in seconds. I could track 2 min exposure with my 50mm lens and get pinpoint stars. Highly recommend it!
MSM is a lightweight star tracker for travel and is easy to use.
I still have the first version of the laser and got this one as it is adjustable. The laser seems well made but I still need to play with it a bit more as I’m getting 2 different alignments using the same bracket between version 1 and version 2.
This looks so much better than those 3d printed options available on "the bay". The finer lines should (hopefully) help to get a more precise focus. Can't wait to test this on a W/A lens - just need some clear nights.
solid, steady wedge, fitted to existing tripod without need for any additional bits. really nice bit of kit!
Does exactly what it claims, and my setup was really easy. The tripod makes a huge difference to my photography. I definitely recommend this tripod and attachments. Fabulous.
