Meade Maksutov Telescope MC 90/1250 StarNavigator NG 90 Mak AZ GoTo

Item Description:

The MC 90/1250 optics:

This telescope is an ideal companion for travel and is suitable both as an astronomical device and as a mirror spotting scope for nature observations. This telescope also enables children to take their first steps in the night sky. The extremely compact look fits in almost every hand luggage and is also known for its very high-contrast image. With a 90mm aperture, this telescope still moves in the lower area and is therefore one of the smaller representatives of its kind. The light collection capacity is 165 times that of the eye with a 7mm exit pupil. The saying "The best telescope is what you have with you" finds its true meaning here, because hardly any other telescope can be transported more easily. Astronomically, this telescope has a lot to offer: planets become beautiful objects of observation with a resolution of 1.3 arcseconds. Deep sky objects like the Orion Nebula or a trip through the summer milky way are also a pleasure. As a spotting scope for nature observations, the optics offer a suitable alternative at a low price. Many classic spotting scopes only allow a fixed camera adaptation in the high-quality range for several hundred euros. The situation is quite different with this telescope: numerous adaptations for nature photography are available. At 1250mm focal length e.g. Bird photography in the low cost area. Of course you can also take pictures of the moon in the astrophotographic area. The sharpness can be adjusted with a rotary knob on the side. The main mirror moves backwards or in the front direction. This mechanism enables a large area for focusing and offers numerous adaptation options.

The advantages at a glance:

very compact optics with long focal length and 90mm aperture

High contrast image

Nature observation and photography also possible







The StarNavigator series has won many friends over the years. These are inexpensive, lightweight telescopes with computer control (GoTo), with which it is child's play to set the desired celestial object. Meade takes this series to the next level: The StarNavigator NG (Next Generation) is equipped with the new AudioStar hand control. After a brief alignment procedure, your telescope is ready to take you on a guided tour of the night sky. The Audiostar database offers 30,000 objects and over four hours of audio presentations. You feel like you have a professional astronomer at your side.

The StarNavigator mounts have a light but stable aluminum frame and a height-adjustable aluminum tripod, which enables comfortable viewing from a sitting or standing position. You can operate the telescope via the integrated battery compartment with eight AA batteries (not included) or an external power supply.



The AudioStar hand control contains a database of 30,000 celestial objects. Once aligned in the sky, AudioStar can point the telescope at each of these objects and keep it centered in the eyepiece - of course only if the object is just above the horizon. This so-called GoTo functionality is supplemented by further features, such as guided tours, position display and connection to the PC.

A special highlight of the AudioStar control is the built-in loudspeaker. The integrated astronomer inside technology offers over four hours of speech output (only in English). The built-in astronomer knows interesting things to report about the celestial object set in the control!

Easy Align: At the beginning of each observation, the computer control must be compared with the current starry sky. This alignment is also called alignment. Alignment on this telescope is particularly simple: after entering the location and facing north, the telescope approaches two bright stars one after the other. These only have to be centered in the eyepiece and the adjustment is done and the telescope is set.
