This C90 Mak has excellent optics with razor sharp images over a wide field. Review: Spot on! - I was looking for a compact telescope for terrestrial and celestial use and this is just perfect. It's solidly built, the focus is smooth (although exacting and you have to be very gentle, overshoot and come back just a smidgen, as on a microscope). Optically I haven't pushed it to its limits yet, but for 'regular' daytime use it's proving great without colored edges, crisp images and excellent light collection. So I'm really very happy and looking forward to saying hello to the moon. I took a punt on the purchase too - it was an 'desertcart Warehouse' return and they cited 'minor damage to the front'. Well, optically it's absolutely fine and so far as I can tell this just meant someone had already opened the box. So not bad for 50% off! Review: Excellent grab and go for astronomy. - Excellent telescope which I use for astronomy. I bought the celestron alt-azi tripod and a laser pointer (see photo, and used an O ring to keep it straight) as the finder supplied isn't very good. I can set the telescope up in minutes so can grab views of the moon and planets at the drop of a hat! I tried other eyepieces but found the one supplied is good quality and the right magnification. Jupiter and its moons are sharp and the bands are visible. Very pleased! ## Features - 90MM MAKSUTOV-CASSEGRAIN SPOTTING SCOPE: Compact and lightweight, the C90 is an ideal choice for bird watching, nature observation, and digiscoping - BRIGHT, SHARP VIEWS OF DISTANT OBJECTS: Ideal for spotting small land-based objects at great distances or viewing astronomical objects at night - COMPACT AND PORTABLE: The Maksutov-Cassegrain optical design folds the scope's light path, resulting in a scope that is much smaller than others of a similar focal length; Take it with you anywhere - USE IT AS A TELEPHOTO LENS: The C90 is designed with photography in mind; it's fully camera adaptable; To take professional quality shots, just attach the correct optional T- Adapter and T-Ring for your camera to the back of the scope - ACCESSORIES INCLUDED: 32mm eyepiece, 45Β° erect image diagonal, 8x21 erect image finderscope, nylon backpack for storage and transport ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0038QYRDO | | Best Sellers Rank | 60,751 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 28 in Spotting Scopes | | Box Contents | 45Β° diagonal, 8x21 finderscope, Backpack Case, Eyepiece Lens cap, Objective Lens Cover, PlΓΆssl 32mm eyepiece | | Brand Name | Celestron | | Coating | Multi-Coated | | Compatible Devices | Camera | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (99) | | Exit Pupil Diameter | 2.3 Millimeters | | Eye Piece Lens Description | Barlow | | Field Of View | 9.7 Degrees | | Finderscope | optical | | Focal Length Description | 1200 millimeters | | Focus Type | Manual Focus | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00050234522687 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 39.9D x 25.9W x 25.9H centimetres | | Item Weight | 2.1 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Celestron | | Manufacturer Part Number | 52268-CGL | | Model Name | C90 Mak | | Model Number | 52268-CGL | | Mount | Equatorial Mount | | Objective Lens Diameter | 90 Millimetres | | Optical-Tube Length | 70 Millimetres | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Product Features | Maksutov-Cassegrain Optical Design with High Contrast Views and Compact Portability | | UPC | 050234522687 | | Zoom Ratio | 39 multiplier x | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Celestron - **Eye piece lens description:** Barlow - **Finderscope:** optical - **Focus type:** Manual Focus - **Model name:** C90 Mak - **Objective lens diameter:** 90 Millimetres - **Optical tube length:** 70 Millimetres - **Power source:** Battery Powered - **Product dimensions:** 39.9D x 25.9W x 25.9H centimetres - **Telescope mount description:** Equatorial Mount ## Images ![C90 MAK - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61b1Pi5OvVL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: if i used a 2x Barlow with the 39x eyepiece could i see shooting targets at 600-900 yds?** A: Let me start off by saying that I have not actually tried this, but I can give you some pointers. The 2X Barlow will reduce your available light, but on a very sunny day that should be no problem. At that magnification, you will need a very steady tripod, as even a small breeze may make your image unstable. I will say that I am very pleased with my C-90 Mak, and I do some Astrophotography with mine. This particular scope is the equivalent of a 1260mm lens for your camera. With the camera directly attached to the scope, you can get the full moon in the picture with very little edges. I take pictures of Sunspots with it too, but please don't do that without putting a full filter on the front of the scope. In your application, I would start with a 32mm eyepiece and then move up to say a 15mm or 10mm eyepiece. One other note, invest in some Plossl Eyepieces. they will give you a much sharper view, and will be brighter. I bought the following set for my scope. Celestron Accessory Kit. I hope this helped. **Q: I want to use this for long range spotting 800-1500 yards.. Any ideas on how well this will perform?** A: What will you be spotting? You may lose some of the detail near the center of the image with this telescope as well as other reflecting type telescopes due to the mirror in the light path. You likely won't notice this but if you are trying to get spot on detail for target practice it may be annoying. It certainly has the magnification though for this task. Would a refracting type scope be more suitable? **Q: I would like to use this as a terrestrial scope to view mountains in the distance. Would like detailed view of ski slopes. Aprox 20 miles away.** A: I have a 127mm Mak, using a 32mm Televue plossl, and William Optics correct image prism. That gives me approx. 47x to this scopes 39x. At 20 miles, the scope is never the issue, the atmospheric conditions are. If you're looking through clean, dry air, 20 miles will be crystal clear and sharp. If there is moisture or dust in the air, 10 miles is too far. **Q: Could I mount this to an celestron AVX 8 inch scope? and use it with a star tracker?** A: Yes you can! the AVX tripod will take any scope with a dove tail rail, which the Mak spotting scope has. For details google the Celestron AVX manual. You will find a pdf on the celestron site. There is a blow up diagram showing the dovetail mount and screw that secures the scope. Owing to the relatively low weight of the Mak C 90, you may not need the large counterballance weight that comes with the AVX, or you might get by with a smaller weight ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spot on! *by T***S on 14 June 2017* I was looking for a compact telescope for terrestrial and celestial use and this is just perfect.

I bought the celestron alt-azi tripod and a laser pointer (see photo, and used an O ring to keep it straight) as the finder supplied isn't very good. I can set the telescope up in minutes so can grab views of the moon and planets at the drop of a hat! I tried other eyepieces but found the one supplied is good quality and the right magnification. Jupiter and its moons are sharp and the bands are visible. Very pleased! ### ⭐⭐⭐ Nice scope. Shame on customer services *by H***F on 9 February 2021* First of all. The scope is just what I wanted. Powerful for what it is. Compact and portable. nice optics. Now the bad bit. When the scope arrived, I unpacked it. All well and good. But when I tried to put the finder in, I discover the thread for the thumbscrew is stripped. I called customer services and they suggested I buy a new part and they will refund the cost of purchase. Er, say what? I said you have got to be having a jimmy riddle! I would like a replacement scope please. I am not going to faff around like that. After What seemed like hours of debate, the issue is still not resolved. I would like a courier to come and collect it, says I. No way says Priya the customer services rep.. Can you take it to the post office and send it back at your own cost, says she. Once again I insist that they send a courier to collect it. Why should I have to pay for the cost of posting back a defective item. Blah blah blah. Back an forth we go arguing the toss. In the end, I was losing the will to live. So I did what Priya was hoping all along, I gave up. I took the offending part to work, and tapped a new thread. I can make a promise to all and sundry that I will never, ever, Buy anything from Amazon again.
