Vixen VMC110L
The VMC110L is Vixen's compact Cassegrain — a 110mm Visually-Corrected Maksutov-Cassegrain that weighs just 1.6kg and fits in a small carry bag. The VMC design corrects the field curvature inherent in standard Maksutov-Cassegrain systems, giving sharp star images across the full field rather than just at the centre. This makes it better suited to visual observing than a standard Mak, particularly with wide-angle eyepieces. At 1035mm focal length (f/9.4), planetary detail is good: Saturn's Cassini Division, Jupiter's cloud bands, and the phases of Venus are all within reach. The real attraction is the size — this is a telescope you can carry on a plane.
