Opinions about Sky-Watcher BK MAK90EQ1

Advantages:
Compactness, ease of use, light weight, no significant chromatic aberrations
Disadvantages:
Lathers the image at magnifications above 100x, high-quality branded eyepieces do not save the day. But I think it's all because of the small aperture. Maksutov himself recommended not to increase the magnification above 1.4-1.5D
Comment:
A relatively inexpensive quality telescope for beginners. If you just take a pipe, then you will have to seriously take care of a high-quality mount (EQ1 is an entry level and not a very good choice). I would advise from azimuth AZ4-AZ5 or Vixen, or better GoTo with automated control. From equatorials not lower than EQ3, with the ability to install a targeting drive or with an already installed one.

Advantages:
quality / price
Disadvantages:
vibration of the EQ1 mount in conjunction with a tripod
Comment:
Before buying, look at someone's telescope - what are the conditions of visibility. Otherwise you can get frustrated.

Advantages:
Completeness, compactness, workmanship, ease of use
Disadvantages:
I think they will appear during observations of celestial bodies
Comment:
The price tag is normal for such a model in this configuration. The whole moon is not visible, it greatly magnifies and you observe about 1/4 of the disk through the x10 eyepiece. It's magical! We observed so far one evening, the cloudiness is variable, so the x25 eyepiece was not checked, it will definitely be possible to observe craters on the Earth's satellite ...

Advantages:
Lightweight, easy-to-transport telescope. The EQ1 mount is easy to use, it can be placed both at home on the balcony and in the country on the ground. Of course, from the apartment, you won't be able to see deep space from it, there are too many distortions and highlights, but the Moon and the planets of the solar system are quite.
Disadvantages:
Equipment. 2 eyepieces are not enough, I had to buy additional accessories, incl. filters.But, if there were many elements in the configuration, then they would most likely be of poor quality or the pipe itself would be with reduced characteristics.
Comment:
Buy on the EQ1 mount, a tabletop mount will require a suitable table, which you will not find anywhere in nature. It is also best to buy from a store that sells many additional accessories. And buy at least a lunar filter and 1 eyepiece 32-40mm
