You’ll never be sad that you brought along a telescope. Whether you’re camping out under the stars or just examining the opposite side of the parking lot, having something like the Omegon Maksutov Telescope MightyMak 60 along for the ride can help make the outdoors a bit more great.

What makes this one even better? It's currently on sale for $24 off.

Most telescopes are designed either for looking at the stars or for examining distant landscapes. The Omegon, however, can do both. And since it fits in any bag and includes a table-top tripod, you’ll never have to be without it. T-2 threading means this telescope also doubles as a telephoto lens that can attach directly to your camera, and the tried-and-true Maksutov design allows for bright images and a larger scope of view. It also comes fitted with a standard finder shoe, meaning it connects easily to most finder scopes. In fact, if you’re a telescope enthusiast, you probably already have a finder scope that’ll fit.

Leah Stodart is a Philadelphia-based Senior Shopping Reporter at Mashable where she covers essential home tech like vacuums and TVs as well as sustainable swaps and travel. Her ever-growing experience in these categories comes in clutch when making recommendations on how to spend your money during shopping holidays like Black Friday, which Leah has been covering for Mashable since 2017.

The robot vacuum beat in particular has cemented itself as Leah's main ~thing~ across the past few years. Since 2019, her expertise has been perpetually bolstered by the meticulous eye she keeps on robot vacuum deals and new releases, but more importantly, her hands-on experience with more than 25 robot vacuums tested in her own home. (This number has probably gone up by the time you're reading this.) That at-home testing is standardized through Mashable's robot testing guide — a granular scoring rubric for assessing all aspects of owning and using a robot vacuum on the daily — that Leah created herself.

Leah graduated from Penn State University in 2016 with dual degrees in Sociology and Media Studies. When she's not writing about shopping (or shopping online for herself), she's almost definitely watching a horror movie, "RuPaul's Drag Race," or "The Office."
