Product Features
Celestron Mini Maks bring portability and versatility to a new level. The Maksutov optical design is recognized for being compact, easy to use, and applicable for both terrestrial (land) and astronomical use. C70 Mini Mak is a small but powerful spotting scope that includes a tabletop tripod which has built-in panhandle control, a built-in zoom eyepiece, and soft carrying case.
For someone who wants a very lightweight and economical spotting scope, the Mini Maks are the way to go. The C70 works best at the lower magnifications and the ability to swap in astronomy eyepieces (1.25″ barrel) means that you can significantly upgrade your optics with the addition of a 7mm astronomy eyepiece, for higher magnification. You won’t get quite as much contrast as the more expensive refractor style spotting scopes (due to the obstruction caused by the secondary mirror), but the Maksutov design does eliminate the chromatic aberrations (colour ‘tinging’) you get with many refractors.
