About this product

Acuter Voyager Mak 80 - Fast

The new Acuter Voyager Mak 80 - FAST is a high-quality, powerful Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope with an 80mm aperture. 

This compact and easily transportable telescope is ideal for observing and learning about the night sky.  Since the image is upright and fully corrected, you can also observe nature during the daytime. The optical system is multi-coated to maximise contrast and image sharpness. You can also capture images using your smartphone using the included smartphone camera adaptor.

The FAST designation in the name is due to the patent-pending friction drive focuser. 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, a useful focus position indicator scale shows the position the focuser needs to be to view objects at distances of 8m, 17m and infinity. This focuser design enables FAST focusing to be achieved with minimal fuss.

The telescope is compact and convenient enough to take with you on your next vacation trip.

The set consists of an 80mm Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope OTA with 850mm focal length, 42.5x and 68x magnifying eyepieces with a wide 70-degree apparent field of view, an optical 6x21 viewfinder, a high-quality, phase-corrected 90° image-erecting roof prism diagonal, a smartphone camera adaptor to keep a photographic record of your observations, and a carrying case. The set comes in an attractive gift box. The telescope can be expanded as required with optionally available standard 1.25 "telescope eyepieces to increase the range of magnifications.

The telescope can be mounted via the standard 1/4" tripod thread on any photographic tripod. Mounting is also possible on astronomical mountings via the 45mm Vixen/Sky-Watcher dovetail bar.

The Maksutov telescope is named after Dmitri Maksutov (1896-1964), a Russian optician and astronomer who introduced this telescope design in 1941. 

With the supplied Smartphone Camera Adaptor, capture celestial and terrestrial images with your smartphone.
