VMC110L with
PortaMount
Here
is one of the best multiple purpose grab and go telescopes that
is as perfectly suited for looking at the stars as it is the
bird in the tree half a mile away. With more light gathering
capability than anything else in this price range and a
extremely light weight at 4.6lbs, you might just forget you
packed it with you to the top of that ridgeline (well okay maybe
not!).
Don’t let its diminutive size
and weight fool you, many telescopes like this design are used
for research around the globe and even outside our atmosphere!
You are sure to be blown away by its snap of focus and razor
like images.
The PORTA gives
great performance when viewing objects at high magnification,
the damping and vibration being significantly reduced as
compared to other lesser quality telescope mounts.
