105mm Aperture &1365mm Focal Length
The compact telescope features 105mm large aperture and 1365mm long focal length. And that ensures great amount of light entering the telescope and high resolution, an ideal scope for making detailed lunar, and planetary observations.
-
99% Reflectivity Dielectric Coatings
Maksutove telescope largely reduces aberrations and renders crisp and clear views. Meanwhile the MK105’s high quality meniscus lens (fully multi-coated), primary mirror (multi-coated of precision aluminum coating) and the secondary mirror (99% reflectivity dielectric coatings and multi coating) ensure high transmittance, high reflectivity and high contrast.
-
Compact and Portable
A perfect transportable, grab-and-go telescope, easy to pack in a bag, and with its sturdy metal construction it will be sure to survive a few bumps and knocks on its travels.
-
Conical Extinction Tube for Stray Light Elimination
Utilizing Conical extinction tube prevent stray light from interfering with your viewing experience.
-
160mm Vixen-style Dovetail Plate
The mount rail is of a Vixen style dovetail design to easy attach, and the screw holes size are 1/4” and 3/8”, compatible with plenty of mounts and tripods.
-
Dual Dovetail Mounting Base
Dual dovetail mounting base design is available for more than one finderscope to attach and brings great convenience for conditions like there requires the finderscope’s position to be changed when you match the telescope to a different mount.

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. |
New feedback about MK105!It has now been almost 5 months since we released the MK105 telescope,
and we have hundreds of customers who got it and are using it to capture
planets and the sun, and even try to do some simple deepspace
observation.
How does it perform? Or maybe you're interested in it now, but still concerned about its quality, yes, it has had some negative reviews, but most of the issues have been clarified and resolved. We've rounded up some of the recent feedback about it, and let's see what they said. Bruce Stoneman ---- Svbony MK105 105mm Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope (the 2 close up images)  Harry Ellingsen My setup with MK105 and SV305. Did some modifications with remote control of focus and clock drive. Works perfect

   Paul E. Cizdziel ---- I have been impressed with the visual performance of the
MK105. I like it! But recently I tried to do some imaging with it on a
few star clusters. For someone like me who is used to smaller refractors
(SV503 80ED is my largest scope), it was difficult to "handle" the
MK105 in astrophotography. At a focal length of 1365mm under Bortle
class 7+ skies, plate solving did not work due to lack of stars
(presumably?). So I needed to plate-solve with an aligned smaller guide scope
(no problem). In addition, I could not get guiding accuracy low enough
that night to be suitable for such a high focal length. Also DSS would
not stack most of the images due to a lack of stars. Finally, in the 2
images below, you can see what appears to be a bit of a coma effect in
the stars. Is this a collimation issue? However, if I intentionally put
the stars out-of-focus tthere are nicely concentric donuts shapes on the
bright stars, which I thought meant good collimation? So is this
possibly an out-of-focus issue?
I did not anticipate all these challenges with trying to
use the MK105 for astrophotography. Like I said, it's really great for
visual use, but so far I am a bit frustrated with astrophotography. Any
comments or suggestions would be helpful. I intend to keep trying!
