About this product
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.
he 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.
