  • Compact and portable: the length of MK105 is 14.84inch,tube net weight is 4.83lb, for astronomical telescopes with the same focal length; the overall length of the telescope is only about half of that of the refractor telescope; 
  • Eliminate the need for periodic collimation: MK105 Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope exchanges the conventional front corrector plate of a Schmidt with a convex meniscus lens, resulting in a smaller secondary mirror that limits obstruction and increases contrast, while eliminating the need for periodic collimation;
  • Metal mirror body: the metal mirror structure for MK105 ensures the stability of the optical structure during transportation;
  • Electrolyte coating technology: MK105's secondary mirror coating adopts high-reverse electrolyte coating technology; which greatly improves the imaging contrast of observation targets such as planets;
  • 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.

Note: Mk105 was compatible with the ZWO EAF

Superbe télescope compacte

Reçu y'a quelques jours maintenant et déjà envoyé dans un emballage de très bonne facture protégeant parfaitement le produit, fabrication très soigné et surtout solide tout en conservant une extrême légèreté, test en visuel rapide en plein jour sur la lune entre 2 nuages et une image extrêmement bonne avec un bon piqué en utilisant renvoi coudé et oculaire SV230.

Up Close

I recently purchase the Mk105 and have had opportunity to use it for observation of deep space objects, planets and the moon. Although the 1356 focal length is exceptional the lack of an auto focuser makes using the telescope a bit difficult. So I generally focus during the day, and try slight changes at night. The OTA appears well made but the coating is easily scratched so be careful. I added the SV179 Red Light guide scope. Later Zi attempted to mount a ASIAIR plus one the one side and the SV165 guide scope on the other. Balance was great. It I have attempted to attach a CMOS camera but failed to reach focus, so any further review on the issue will come later. Otherwise I am please with its performance, build quality and value.

Fine Product

Purchased the telescope for visual observations and have been pleasantly surprised at the views. Construction of the OTA is good and well-constructed, although the coating is easily scratched, which I have done. After several uses, my thoughts are to place it on an EQ mount (Skywatcher Star Adventurer GTI, with a couple of ZWO cameras and ASIAIR plus for imaging. I also see the configuration being a mini-pc with the SV305 or SV905c main camera and SV705c guide camera for imaging. I must decide on the correct setup to keep balance. With the focal length of 1320mm this should be sufficient to provide images of both planets, galaxies and nebulae. When it comes to imaging, the use of the SV240 duo-band filter make the details of your image better, while eliminating much of the city light pollution. I am happy and the price was well worth the experience.

Superbe

Reçu aujourd'hui donc environ 10 jours et comme d'habitude dans un emballage soigné, produit vraiment excellent grande qualité de fabrication avec un prix vraiment correct vis a vis de la concurrence. Plus qu'a l'essayer mais quand le temps sera bon j'ai pas d'inquiétude sur le résultat.

Wonderfully sharp - great piece of kit!

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.

Can't beat this Maksutov Cassegrain especially at this price.

Wow! This is a great little performer especially at this price. I'm super impressed with the build quality and performance. A worthy addition to my collection of telescopes. Lots of reach in a small package. Stellar performance using Svbony cameras and my AVX. I just need more clear nights!

Super Customer Support! Great little Mak.

Folks: I've been blown away by SVBony's customer service since purchasing this scope in December. I mean how many companies let you engage in WhatsApp chats with their US Sales Manager to answer questions and resolve issues; this was a first for me. John was terrific throughout always delivering on what he promised. The scope itself is just adorable. It's super compact, looks great and has those superb 99% reflective mirrors giving it more light grasp than you'd expect from a 4" OTA. I should add that it came super well packed with molded Styrofoam throughout with lots of places to store accessories -- works great as a case!

Compact Solar / Planetary Mak

When SVBony announced their year end pricing, I had to try this little Mak! Instead of adding a barlow to my already heavier refractor, I got a smaller lighter OTA with more reach and resolution. I couldn't be happier! Why isn't it a 5 star review? It might be after I get some more time on it! I've only been able to image on it for a single session with my Nikon Z7. Watch this page, add they say.
