I bought one of these about a year ago. I wasn't sure I'd stick with astronomy so I didn't want to spend much. I was surprised by this 'scope. As shown, I was able to view Jupiter and Saturn for the first time with my own eyes. Now, I'm hooked. I still own the mak70, but I've since bought a StarSense 130mm Newtonian and a Sky Watcher 102mm Mak with a Sky Watcher tripod. I have to watch the weight of each item as I have a bad back. I'm having a blast. I'm also considering a ZWO Seestar for some pics. I can't afford a full camera setup so it will have to do for now. Thx for the great video !
So, i have a 70mm MAK, and i want to be able to zoom in closeer so that i can image the planets with my dslr. I have the t-ring adapter and i figured out taking out the eye piece, but am i only limited to the native FL?
I have used 90maks as guidescopes, with a pixcell 255 as the guider and the main scope was 8"lx200R ota at native f10 with an st1001e on losmandy gm8. It was a pretty good match but needed 2 computers since both cameras were parallel. I later downgraded to a DSI as a guider with an old box that connected via serial and converted the lx200 commands from PHD into autoguider standard output. Only needed one computer to run it all. And yeah this was a long time ago, and that converter box was even older
You can do astrophotography with any telescope. But the main purpose of this particular one is visual. You can take the awesome moon and Andromeda galaxy photos.
@YASAJTV thank you! I haven't found any reviews covering nebulae, just the planets and moons. I ordered during prime day. Do you recommend any upgrades for it? Filters, a new Barlow, etc?
@@kaitlinexl Do not spend too much money on this scope. This scope comes with all things needed to start. Use it as is, learn few things and enjoy. Once you are ready, you'll know when you are ready. Upgrade to better scope altogether.

@YASAJTV I have many times, been doing this for 20 years and have been exposed to it through college astronomy classes 30 years ago. Yes it took me 10 years to finally start getting gear other than the spotting scopes and binos I owned. The only benefit dark skies have on planetary observing is being able to see fainter moons. In fact, when in really dark skies, the presence of jupiter or venus in the sky can be quite annoying, casting shadows or even interfering with dark adaptation. We go to dark skies for deep sky not planets :) But I can see how light pollution can effect the background sky in a planetary image, but I was never much of a planet imager, I mainly focused on deep sky during my heavy imaging period, though I did get a semi decent planet image with a friend's LPI on my then owned 6"f8 dob tube up on my EQ mount. The LPI pales on comparison to modern planetary cameras though, and the whole community as a whole was not as advanced in processing, and the really sensitive Uber small pixel cameras with Uber fast frame rates weren't a thing and computers were much slower with much less storage capacity at the time. I could see myself doing planetary imaging in the future though, since all my gear including my good mounts, scopes (my.c11 would have been a killer planetary imager, but i mainly used it visually), and most importantly my ccd cameras, ao7 adaptive optics and my filter wheel, were stolen out of storage and insurance wouldn't pay. With the gear I had to settle for on a shoestring, vintage SCTs on forks/wedges, planetary imaging is the only thing I probably could do and the cameras can be had pretty cheaply. But I wouldn't bother with going to dark skies for planetary imaging, but If I am ever out in dark skies and happened to have a planet cam, I might do a quick run and compare it to back home. But note that comparing planetary results has more to do with seeing conditions at the time, and hence it is really impossible to do a comparison from 2 different sites at 2 different times, as seeing would affect the resolution of faint moons more than light pollution. Some of the best planetary imagers do it from very light polluted areas. One of the reasons to focus on that segment of the hobby. Making lemonade with lemons
@YASAJTV and I was referring to strictly planetary imaging, of course deep sky imaging is better from dark skies unless strictly dealing in narrowband imaging

Wow. Thanks for sharing your experience. This hobby is spiritual. But yes very expensive. Keep exploring the skies.
Nice video showing the unboxing and images from the SARBLUE Mak 70
I am glad you liked it
Saludos desde colombia, acabo de comprar este telescopio, y espero poder probarlo pronto, gracias por tu video 🙏🏾
Felicidades. Lo amarás. Disfrutar.
Que tal es telescopio? lo acabo de comprar también desde Colombia.
@@kinetoxexcelente papá, no te arrepentiras
Really cool man! Thank you for sharing
Thank you for your feedback and love. 😀
Mine came without a manual :( . And it’s my first scope go figure. But I was able to put it together. Hopefully I can get the finder scope aligned.
Sorry to hear that. You can do it, by aligning the finderscope and main scope by pointing at the same object at a distance and experimenting at night.
I like the music in your video
Thanks

A quality Barlow lens can get you closer and give more magnification.
@@YASAJTV Thank you for responding!
A dslr is the wrong camera for that, especially on such a small scope
@@k.h.1587 oh ok... Ill see about trying a planetary camera.
Buenas tardes, el telescopio no es que sea bajito lo que pasa es que no lo desplegaste del todo.
Mira mis otros videos.
I'd like to try a mini Mak as a guide scope, hard to find just the OTA alone tho.
I used SVBONY SV106 Guide Scope 60mm as the guide scope. It is cheap and brilliant.

What or how did you edit this photos to get this detail? Any program?
Yes, pipp, as, regitax, gimp, and photoshop.
Your Saturn image is amazing! Did you go the common route of Pipp, AS, Registax? Was it recorded through Sharpcap and a ZWO? Or smartphone?
Yes, pipp, as, regitax, gimp, and photoshop. I used svbony camera for this one. Watch my other videos for more in camera.
@@YASAJTV Thank you! I will check them out! :)
hi, thanks for the information. This telescope can do astrophotography?
You can do astrophotography with any telescope. But the main purpose of this particular one is visual. You can take the awesome moon and Andromeda galaxy photos.
Could you do a live shot of the moon (zoomed in and out)?
Sure! My next video.
Am i able to use it for deep sky exploration?
Yes, why not. You can do many nebulas and also the Andromeda Galaxy.

I dont understand your question. Telescope works as lense, connected with astro camera. Editing in astro software. I hope it helps.

How did you get the view of Jupiter from the lightbulb to the real deal? I have the same problem but idk how to fix it
You will needs these softwares - PiPP, Regitax 6, Gimp and Photoshop. Also, look at some tutorials on YT for PiPP and Regitax.
Did you filmed the planets in a light polluted urban area?
Yes. Bortle 8
