Easy to move and set up. Images are clear. Takes a second to realize that the focus knobs are on the top and bottom when it is mounted sideways. I love the hand grip for making quick moves and the fine moving knobs for staying on the object. Well worth the money. Quality scope. Review: Excellent litlle telescope - Excellent scope this 60 mm mak, very small, light (800 grams) sharp views, tripod (900 grams) is ok, especially for 60 mm. Very smooth motions due to gimball/mounthead (520grams). Prism is phase coated. Eyepieces 10 and 20 mm 70 degrees. Blackened but no filter thread. Nice packaging. ## Features - EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAR IMAGES: The Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope is celebrated for its compact design and top-tier optics. Its optical system incorporates a folded light path design, which serves to minimize light dispersion and elevate image quality to a remarkable level. - 60MM OBJECTIVE LENS: The 60mm objective lens allows more light to enter, providing high resolution. As a result, it excels in nighttime observations of dim and distant celestial objects like Saturn, Jupiter, and the M31 galaxy. During the day, when paired with a smartphone camera, it functions as an outstanding 'telephoto lens,' perfect for capturing intricate details of everyday life. - EFFORTLESS TARGETING & SWIFT FOCUS: Our self-invented gimbal simplifies object alignment, offering quick and precise adjustments with its two knobs. Furthermore, a handle lock keeps the gimbal securely in place. The Fast Focus feature, along with our patented Focus Indicator, ensures effortless and crystal-clear focusing, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in exploration and observation without wasting time. - PORTABILITY: With an 830mm focal length, the telescope tube measures a mere 22cm in length. In contrast, a refractor telescope with the same focal length would necessitate an 83cm tube. This portability makes it exceptionally suitable for camping or hiking. - ADJUSTABLE & ROBUST TRIPOD: Crafted from reinforced aluminum alloy, this tripod boasts a sturdy and stable design. Its broad base covers a maximum area of 3.6 square feet, providing ample support. With a maximum height of 46.45 inches, it accommodates various heights and allows for a variety of observation postures. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CM9VNQ1R | | Additional Features | Compact design with folded light path for exceptional image quality, gimbal for effortless targeting and swift focus, adjustable and robust tripod | | Best Sellers Rank | #903 in Camera & Photo Products ( See Top 100 in Camera & Photo Products ) #92 in Telescope Refractors | | Brand | HOROX | | Built-In Media | Phone Adapter, Tripod | | Coating | Multi-Coated | | Compatible Devices | Smartphone | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (135) | | Exit Pupil Diameter | 5 Millimeters | | Eye Piece Lens Description | 10mm*1 20mm*1 | | Field Of View | 5.7 Degrees | | Finderscope | Reflex | | Focal Length Description | 850 millimeters | | Focus Type | Manual Focus | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 17.6"D x 14"W x 5.28"H | | Item Weight | 3.66 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | HOROX | | Manufacturer Part Number | DE-MAK-003-ST-1 | | Model Name | HOROX | | Mount | Altazimuth Mount | | Objective Lens Diameter | 80 Millimeters | | Optical-Tube Length | 850 Millimeters | | Power Source | Manual Operation Without Any External Power Source | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 2 year warranty | | Zoom Ratio | 40-80 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** HOROX - **Eye Piece Lens Description:** 10mm*1 20mm*1 - **Finderscope:** Reflex - **Focus Type:** Manual Focus - **Model Name:** HOROX - **Objective Lens Diameter:** 80 Millimeters - **Optical Tube Length:** 850 Millimeters - **Power Source:** Manual Operation Without Any External Power Source - **Product Dimensions:** 17.6"D x 14"W x 5.28"H - **Telescope Mount Description:** Altazimuth Mount ## Images ![Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescopes for Adults Astronomy, 60mm Aperture 830mm Catadioptric Compound Telescope - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61TSp0wMP1L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well worth the money. *by M***E on April 10, 2026* I have several telescopes and this one is becoming one of my favorites. Easy to move and set up. Images are clear. Takes a second to realize that the focus knobs are on the top and bottom when it is mounted sideways. I love the hand grip for making quick moves and the fine moving knobs for staying on the object. Well worth the money. Quality scope. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent litlle telescope *by B***S on December 5, 2025* Excellent scope this 60 mm mak, very small, light (800 grams) sharp views, tripod (900 grams) is ok, especially for 60 mm. Very smooth motions due to gimball/mounthead (520grams). Prism is phase coated. Eyepieces 10 and 20 mm 70 degrees. Blackened but no filter thread. Nice packaging. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Much better than expected *by J***C on December 4, 2025* I purchased this telescope as a Christmas present for my grandson. At the sale price posted I was not expecting the level of quality I received. The optical tube assembly (OTA) is aluminum, which is necessary to support the thick meniscus lens at the front end that Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes are known for. As such, this is not a lightweight dime store scope. The OTA has an aperture of 80mm, and a focal length of 850mm, resulting in a focal ratio of just under 11. This means that objects such as the moon and planets are the intended targets (less so for galaxies and nebulae). An 80mm aperture would support a theoretical maximum power of 157x, but the choice of included eyepieces (10 and 20 mm) yields more realistic magnifications of 85x and 42x. (If higher powers are desired, any standard 1 and 1/4 inch eyepiece can be used.) The included eyepieces are well made and deliver a pleasing image and a reasonable field of view. Since this telescope was also designed for terrestrial viewing, the manufacturer included an amici prism star diagonal rather than a mirror diagonal, which means that images viewed through the scope are correctly oriented visually (up/down, left/right) rather than left/right reversed. The scope has twin focus controls, which operate smoothly. Also included is a small finderscope, which must be mounted and aligned with the main scope (not a particularly easy task). It also does not include a star diagonal, which means the image is upside down--potentially very confusing for a beginner. A phone accessory is also included for taking pictures, but this is likely to result in excessive shaking of the image. The provided mount is an alt-az, which means that motions are up/down and left/right. The large handle can be used to swing the scope in the desired direction of the target and then locked in place. Target acquisition is completed using the slow motion controls on both axes. The inclusion of slow motion controls is absolutely critical in a higher magnification telescope, which sets this particular telescope apart from so many others offered at a similar price point. Many reviewers have pointed out that the tripod is too light and results in a shaky images. This is true only if the tripod legs are extended. For a tripod of this size and weight, it should only be used on a tabletop with the legs fully retracted. If used in this manner the image is quite stable. If a user needs a full height viewing situation, the scope is also equipped with a vixen-style dovetail mounting plate, which can be used with almost any tripod designed for astronomy. One small caveat: because the scope mounts on the left side of the tripod base, all the weight is on that side, resulting in imbalance and a potential for the tripod to tip over. If used with legs retracted, make sure that one leg is located directly under the OTA to prevent this from happening. This is a quality piece of equipment for the price. A better tripod and finderscope would earn it 5 stars, but would also probably increase the price significantly. ## Frequently Bought Together - Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescopes for Adults Astronomy, 60mm Aperture 830mm Catadioptric Compound Telescope - Celestron 94119-A 1.25 inch Moon Filter - Suitable for Lunar Observation, Extra Bright Planets or Terrestrial Viewing Over Sand or Snow, Black - SVBONY SV135 Zoom Eyepiece, Zoom 7 to 21mm 1.25 Inch Telescope Eyepiece, 6 Element 4 Group Telescope Accessories for Astronomic Telescopes Visual --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/595679657-maksutov-cassegrain-telescopes-for-adults-astronomy-60mm-aperture-830mm-catadioptric](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/595679657-maksutov-cassegrain-telescopes-for-adults-astronomy-60mm-aperture-830mm-catadioptric) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
