Svbony MK90 90mm Maksutov Cassegrain Telescope Lunar Bird Watching

MK90

Nach Justage (Kollimation) passt alles Zu Spiegelteleskopen aller Arten liest man regelmäßig, dass sie werksseitig nicht genau kollimiert sind oder dass die Kollimation auf dem Versandweg leidet. Je nach Typ kann das wenige (Newton, langbrennweitig und sphärischer Spiegel) Auswirkungen auf die Abbildungsqualität haben, bis hin zu "nicht zu gebrauchen". Das Svbony MK90 gehört insoweit zu den sensibleren Typen: Direkt nach dem Auspacken auf die Montierung geklemmt, Dämmerung abgewartet, ab in die Nacht und erstmal Enttäuschung. Ab 100x Vergrößerung nur noch Unschärfe, sehr wenig Kontrast. Am hellen Stern defokussiert zeigten sich dann deutlich exzentrische Beugungsringe, womit klar war, dass der Hauptspiegel erst einmal gründlich justiert werden muss. Ich mache das mittels künstlichem Stern und Millimeterpapier mit eingezeichneten Radien (wer genaueres lesen mag, suche nach "Präzise Kollimation eines Maksutov-Cassegrain bei Tag"). Und siehe da, am nächsten Beobachtungsabend (Ortsrand, Halbmond tiefstehend) ging es ohne Detailverlust bis 156fach und bei besseren Sichtbedingungen sollte es noch etwas höher gehen. Die Justage des Hauptspiegels ist in der Bedienungsanleitung erklärt, in der Praxis aber etwas hakelig. Hinter den drei Gummipropfen an der Teleskoprückseite sind 3 Paar Schrauben. Die herausgehobenen silbernen sind die Druckschrauben zur Fixierung der Position des Hauptspiegels. Der Einstellung des Spiegels dienen die schwarzen Schrauben. Die durch Drehen an den schwarzen Schrauben bewirkte Änderung der Spiegelneigung sieht man aber erst (am defokussierten Stern bzw. an der Projektion nach obiger Methode), wenn man mit der silbernen Schraube kontert, diese also bis zum (sanften!) Anschlag wieder eindreht. Größere Teleskope haben Druckfedern um die Zugschrauben, damit zeigt sich die Veränderung beim Drehen der Zugschrauben sofort. Beim Svbony MK90 ist dem nicht so und daran musste zumindest ich mich erst mal gewöhnen. Zuletzt noch: Maksutov -Teleskope haben generell ein dunkleres/kontrastärmeres Bild als vergleichbar große Newton-Teleskope oder gar Refraktoren. Beim Svbony MK90 macht sich das schon ordentlich bemerkbar, für Deep Sky taugt es daher m.E. eingeschränkt. Objekte so ab 8 mag erkenne ich damit eigentlich nur noch, wenn der Anblick/die genaue Position aus größeren Teleskopen schon bekannt ist.

Svbony MK90 90mm Maksutov Cassegrain Telescope Lunar Bird Watching

MK90

Ein erstklassiges Spezialteleskop für Mond, Planeten und die Reise Mak 90mm Svbony bewirbt das Teleskop wie folgt: ​„Perfekt für verschiedene Beobachtungen: Ideal für detaillierte Mond- und Planetenbeobachtungen sowie terrestrische Betrachtungen – perfekt für Astronomen und Naturbegeisterte.“ ​Und genau das trifft es auf den Punkt – mehr kann und will das Teleskop auch nicht leisten. Die Beobachtung des Mondes ist sehr gut, die von Planeten gut. Deep-Sky-Objekte sind hingegen nicht machbar, da die Öffnung zu gering und die Brennweite zu lang ist, wodurch das Bild für lichtschwache Nebel oder Galaxien schlicht zu dunkel bleibt. Zudem setzt die kleinere Öffnung natürlich auch der maximalen Auflösung bei der Detailbeobachtung physikalische Grenzen. Das ist jedoch kein Makel des Geräts, sondern reine Physik. ​Das Teleskop ist erstklassig verarbeitet und steht den etablierten Premium-Herstellern in nichts nach. Es ist nicht mein erstes Teleskop von Svbony. Warum? Weil auch der Service erste Klasse ist. Man benötigt lediglich ein wenig Geduld, da die Beantwortung von Anfragen ca. 24 bis 30 Stunden dauert. ​Warum habe ich es gekauft? Ein mittelschweres, einigermaßen stabiles Stativ genügt völlig, um es wackelfrei zu betreiben. Alles passt bequem in einen Rucksack, sodass man problemlos mit dem Fahrrad zum Beobachtungsplatz fahren kann. ​Fazit: Für wen ist dieses Teleskop gemacht? Meiner Meinung nach für den geübten Planetenbeobachter, der sich der physikalischen Gegebenheiten bewusst ist und ein kompaktes, mobiles Zweit- oder Drittgerät sucht.

Ungewöhnlich schönes MaksutovUngewöhnlich schönes Maksutov Irgendwie hat mich das Mak-Fieber wieder gepackt und ich wollte endlich mal das MK105 von Svbony in real sehen. Ich kann vorwegnehmen: nice! Im Vergleich zum weit verbreiteten Skyw…. Mak 102 schlagen ca. 300Gr. mehr Gewicht zu Buche. Das merkt man mehr als man meinen möchte. Das Teil wirkt klar wertiger und robuster. Super finde ich die Rückseite: Der Fokussierer läuft super cremig und anschlussseitig ist ein T2 (M42) Anschluss verbaut. Man kann also bei Bedarf ohne Umwege sofort von T2 auf 2" gehen. Das bietet kein anderes Maksutov in dieser Klasse! Das Blendrohr habe ich zwar nicht ausgemessen, es ist aber def. größer im Durchmesser als das des Skyw…. Maks. Ich denke hier wird auch 2"-Zubehör was bringen. Verpackt war es vorbildlich und die Justage passt auch. Von innen schön matt, Blendrohr konisch und ohne auffällige Reflektionen. Knackscharf und für einen Mak passt auch der Kontrast. Im direkten Vergleich zum Skywatcher punktet das MK105 in allen Belangen. Wenn man bedenkt das die beiden nur etwa 20,- auseinander liegen…. wow! (Spiegel oder Okulare sind nicht dabei, nur der Tubus) Ich finde das besser so, die Konkurrenz steckt immer gerne irgendeinen Billigkrempel dazu den man ja mitbezahlt. Meistens kauft man dann eh einen besseren Spiegel / Okulare. Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem MK105 und meine Erwartungen wurden sogar klar übertroffen.

Muito bomMuito bom O Maksutov 105mm f/13, no geral é muito bom. Tubo relativamente leve (2,1kg) e pequeno (38cm) é ótimo para observações rápidas, mas muito importante, deixar aclimatizar o equipamento (mínimo ½ hora) antes de começar a observar. Dá imagens muito limpas, sem aberrações cromáticas evidentes. Deve-se ao facto e os elementos óticos, virem com revestimentos dielétricos de multicamada. No meu caso, o tubo vem com uma ligeira descolimação, mas ainda não senti necessidade de o colimar. Excelente focador, bastante preciso e suave. Embora seja apenas de 1,25” Dá excelentes vistas da Lua, e razoáveis em planetas, com amplificações de 150x. No geral, o acabamento e qualidade dos materiais, é excelente para o preço Gostei bastante da marca, de tal forma que comprei a diagonal SV188P de 99% com refletividade, a ocular zoom SV135 e a montagem azimutal SV225.

Bene sulla luna Ben costruito. Anche se si può utilizzare in visione diurna, il suo ambito è ĺ'osservazione astronomica, e nonostante la sua compattezza, ha comunque bisogno di una montatura molto solida che lo sostenga. Di giorno ok su un treppiedi fotografico con testa fluida, con 40/60X. Sulla luna bene anche a 150X, ma sopra ad una montatura EQ o una solida monobraccio

MK127

Calidad óptima Impresionante calidad optica. Yo lo he comprado para observacion, pero para astrofotografia tiene que ser incluso mejor! Lo que mas me gusta es su reducido tamaño y poco peso. Muy facil de transportar Lo estoy usando en una montura ecuatorial alemana eq5. Estoy usando un solo contrapeso de 5 kilos, pero sobra un kilo porque el tubo con la diagonal y ocular no llegan a eso. Pero no es un problema mayor. Por cierto, si eres nuevo en esto solo decirte que te hace falta la diagonal, algun ocular decente ( svbony los tiene a muy buen precio ) y un buscador. A mi me gustan los buscadores ''Red Dot''. Si tienen el dinero no lo dudes. Pero la montura y el tripode tienen que ser bastante solidos! Si no la experiencia no es la misma, y no le sacarás el maximo provecho a este gran telescopio.

An excellent scope no qualifier neededAn excellent scope no qualifier needed This is a review of the MK127. I was going to wait to do some photographic tests with the scope before writing a review, but I have an import *customs and tariff note* - on Saturday morning I got a message from Svbony that my shipment was on hold and I needed to contact DHL. DHL customer support was closed until Monday. On Monday morning I contacted DHL and all was well. The shipper had paid the duty. The scope arrived Monday afternoon, 4 days early. I unpacked the scope. The build quality was top notch - very metal and very sturdy. It felt heavy compared to my C5 so I weighed it. It weighed 6.6 pounds. I checked my C5; it actually weighed 5 pounds. I got a 5 pound weight to check the scale - 5 pounds exactly. I used a high power flashlight to peer into the scope. A little dust on the inside of the corrector, but quite clean. There was one small dust spec on the primary mirror otherwise clean. I measured the central obstruction - 1.5” working out to 30% CC. Very good. It was late in the day so I put on a good quality 45 degree erecting finder, aimed at a bird feeder 50 yards away, and inserted a 25mm Plossl eyepiece. I examined a female cardinal. Feather details with subtle shading differences were clear and sharp. I was optimistic about the night. I put on the reducer and took some shots with my 4/3 mirrorless camera. The pictures looked good edge to edge. I removed the camera and added my T to 1.25” adapter (I will use that with my 715C and my 585C cameras.) I tried a star diagonal and an eyepiece. It would not come to focus. I’m not surprised but a bit disappointed because on occasion I do use a corrector/reducer with my C5 visually to get a wider field. When darkness fell I used an artificial star at 60 yards to check the collimation and do a star test. The collimation was perfect. I used a little masking tape to hold on the tri-Bhatinov mask that I use with my C5 to verify that. I was prepared for what to expect with a star test by the excellent web site on telescope optics by Vladimir Sacek. He explains that the 6th order spherical aberration can be canceled with the 4th order spherical aberration for objects in focus with a Maksutov design. This leads to the inside and outside focus patterns to look different even in a diffraction limited scope. Bearing that in mind the star test was very good. Finally it was dark enough to see stars. I went directly to Izar in Bootes, a tough double. The main star is magnitude 2.5 and the second star is only 4.8, and they are close - only 2.85 arc seconds. In a small scope the first diffraction ring of the main star can cross the dimmer star. I could split the stars at 120 power. The split was very clear at 240 power. Next I check epsilon Lyra (the double double.) At 60 power I can separate epsilon 2, but I’m not sure with epsilon 1. At 120 power both pairs are cleanly split. Everything is crisp and clear. It is now 10 PM August 4th (for those that want to figure out the exact moon phase.) Seeing is good, but the moon is still a little low. The view of the moon is great with no color fringing. I then went right to 240 power on Plato. I could make out 3 light looking craters on Plato’s floor. This is excellent performance. I continued my visual test at 2:30 AM. The transparency has turned pretty bad with all the stars looking dim. The seeing was above average so I went to Saturn. It was dimmer than it should be because of the high thin clouds which aren’t all that thin. The planet, rings and 3 moons are clear and sharp at 120 power. I moved to 240 power and everything is still clear and very sharp. I stepped up to 300 power and still very sharp. The view was a bit dim at 300x because of the high clouds, but very pleasant. I can’t wait for a better night. I switched to Neptune. Nice color but dim again because of the sky so I didn’t bother to increase magnification and look for Triton. Lastly I moved to the Double Cluster in Persius. It almost fits in the view. The stars looked good edge to edge. It was not the fantastic view I usually get because the transparency is so bad, but the stars are sharp. Visually, I can’t imagine a 5 inch scope of any kind that could beat this one to the point where my eyes could see the difference. It is definitely a keeper. Edit Sept. 5, 2025 I finally got a chance to shoot a deep sky object with the MK127. The target was the Wizard Nebula using the included focal reducer making the F-ratio 7.7. The guide scope was 40mm, the camera was a 585C bringing the total weight of the scope and everything to 8.2 pounds. I shot 240 thirty second RGB subs with a wideband (UHC) filter and got 231 without any star trails or satellite trails. The final stacked image showed some non-round stars in the far left extreme bottom and top, but I checked the subs and some had perfectly round stars at these extremes so I think it was a slight guiding problem and there were probably a few subs that should have been rejected. All in all I was very happy with the result. Edit Sept 28, 2025 Traveling overseas I brought the MK127 and my travel mount, an AZ-GTi. In equatorial mode I shot the Helix Nebula. Guiding was sketchy. I shot 15 second subs to avoid visible field rotation. I only got about 1 good exposure out of every 8. The result is a stack of only 55 exposures. I probably shouldn't have posted the picture except I get such a kick out of how versatile this scope is. Edit November 23 Still traveling overseas I got an EQ base and a counterweight kit for my AZ-GTi mount and I reshot the Helix Nebula. I used 30 second exposures and I was able to get 76 good subs out of 142. I updated the photo.

Very good scope would recommend. This is my second telescope and it has held up very well. Good views of Jupiter, the moon, stars, and decent views of other planets like Saturn. Have had little luck in viewing nebula and other non planetary objects but this scope is not designed for those observations. My scope came perfectly aligned and ready to go.

Great Mak, hidden cost Great 127 mm Maksotov. Sharp images, course and fine focus are a great plus. I have a 127mm Celestron mak, but wanted this for the ability to use a focal reducer for imaging. couldn't resist the low price but be warned, I had to pay an extra $25 to DHL prior to delivery.

Great little scope for the money! I have enjoyed this new telescope immensely! I love deep space astrophotography, but with my sv503 I don’t get the “reach” that I would want for some smaller deep space objects. While this is a slow scope compared to my others, with enough time and patience you can get great results! I did these photos with one shot color cameras and dual narrow band filters, and was VERY happy with the results!

Excellent portable telescope. This is a wonderful, portable, and easy to use telescope. Very well made and easy to mount on a vixen style mount or photo tripod. The scope weighs under 5 pounds and requires an appropriately stable situation. The image quality is excellent. Packaging is very good. Remember that this is an optical tube only..no eyepieces, finder, 45°adapter, or mount.

Beautiful well made telescope at a great price. I'm more then happy with my Svbony MK105. Its very well put together, feels good in your hands and looks even better. It has a beautiful paint job. The focuser is silky smooth. The lens and mirror are flawless. If I had to say one thing bad about the scope is the dust cover, its fit is a little loose. I have a lot of Svbony products and this one is an other example of high quality and a great price. Thank you Svbony.

SVBONY Medium Dovetail Clamp with Brass Screw for Telescope Camera

It may not be pretty, but it works very well.It may not be pretty, but it works very well. This is by far the cheapest Vixen-type dovetail clamp out there- the similar Astromania is $45- but it’s a very functional clamp. While the fit and finish may not be anywhere near that of a Bader, Williams, or Farpoint, it’s very functional, and I have no problem trusting my new Astro-Tech scope to it. A good clamp for a budget setup.
