Omegon MightyMak 80 Dobson: More aperture on the simplest mount<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Omegon MightyMak 80 Dobson<\/strong> combines 80\/900 Maksutov optics (f\/11.25) with a Mini Dobsonian table mount. About 130 times more light than the naked eye, operated by simply pushing: no tripod head, no clamps, no fuss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MightyMak is a Maksutov-Cassegrain: a closed tube with a coated meniscus lens at the front. Dust and moisture stay out, collimation is rarely needed, and the lens suppresses reflections for a high-contrast image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pushing is aiming<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Mini Dobsonian mount works like any Dobsonian: you push the tube towards the object and the Teflon bearings hold it in place. No tripod head that sags, no clamps to tighten. On a sturdy table or box, the setup is directly at eye level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the red dot finder, you aim with both eyes open and with the 25mm eyepiece, you view at 36x. With additional eyepieces, up to approximately 160x is usable: enough for sharp moon craters, Jupiter's cloud bands, and Saturn's rings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Also as a telephoto lens and spotting scope<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Via the T2 thread with a buffer ring, you connect a camera and use the MightyMak as a super telephoto lens. During the day, with the zenith mirror, it's a fully functional spotting scope for birds and landscapes: the image is upright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
