A 100mm f/14 Maksutov-Cassegrain on the Twilight Nano alt-az mount, packing 1400mm of focal length into an optical tube just 12.6 inches long and 4 pounds.

The Mak-Cass design folds the light path with mirrors behind a meniscus corrector, delivering high-magnification planetary views. The f/14 focal ratio produces sharp, high-contrast images of lunar craters, Saturn's rings, and Jupiter's cloud bands.

The Twilight Nano mount's panhandle control makes tracking planets easier. The metal tripod adjusts from 25.5" to 45" and supports up to 14 lbs, plenty of headroom for this lightweight setup.
