Brand New UK Stock, boxed with full Guarantee
Acuter is a
world-class brand of innovative, high-quality products for amateur astronomy
and educational use.
The new ACUTER VOYAGER MAK127-FAST is a high quality and
powerful Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope with a generous 127mm aperture. Ideal
for the observation of double-stars, and the surface detail of the Moon and
bright planets. You can also capture images using your own smartphone using the
included smartphone camera adaptor. The long focal length optical system is
broadband multi-coated to maximise contrast and image sharpness.
The FAST designation in the name is due to the revolutionary
patent-pending friction drive focuser with focus distance indicator. Instead of
having a focusing knob that is twisted, which is common on Maksutov-Cassegrain
telescopes, it is equipped with a friction driven focuser with dual focus knobs
(patent pending design) which moves the primary mirror to achieve focus. In
addition there is an immensely helpful focus distance indicator scale that
shows the position the focuser needs to be to view objects at distances of 16m,
32m and infinity. This focuser design truly enables FAST focusing to be
achieved with the minimum of fuss.
The set consists of a superb 127mm Maksutov-Cassegrain
telescope OTA with 1359mm focal length, a 68x magnifying eyepiece with a wide
70 degree apparent field of view, an optical 6x30 erect image finderscope, a
90° Star diagonal, a smartphone camera adaptor, to keep a photographic record
of your observations, and a carrying case. The telescope can be expanded as
required with optionally available standard 1.25 "telescope eyepieces to
increase the range of magnifications.
The Maksutov telescope is named after Dmitri Maksutov
(1896-1964), a Russian optician and astronomer who introduced this telescope
design in 1941.
