HIGH QUALITY VERSATILE OUTFIT FOR ASTRONOMY, NATURE & TERRESTRIAL OBSERVING & PHOTOGRAPHY

The new ACUTER VOYAGER MAK70 is a high quality and powerful Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope with 70mm aperture. This compact and easily transportable telescope is ideal for observing and learning about the night sky. Since the image is upright (*see note in specification table below), you can observe nature and other terrestrial objects during the daytime. You can also capture images using your smartphone using the included universal smartphone adaptor.

The outfit consists of a 70mm Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope OTA with 1000mm focal length, 50x and 100x magnifying eyepieces, an optical 5x24 finder-scope, as well as a smartphone adapter and carrying bag. The telescope can be expanded as required with optionally available standard 1.25 "telescope eyepieces to increase the range of magnifications. The telescope is supplied with the easy to use ACUTER 2D-MICROTUNE Alt-Azimuth Mount & Tripod equipped with fine adjustment knobs for precise movement in both altitude and azimuth axes. The set comes in an attractive gift box. 

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

Smartphone not included!

Quote from BBC Sky at Night Magazine

"“Small is beautiful, or so the saying goes, and the Acuter Voyager MAK80 certainly fits the description, even when it’s still in its gift box. The instrument is a compact telescope and it is clearly well-suited for a wide range of activities, from nature and birdwatching to astronomy.... just requires the addition of a tripod, for which there is a 1/4-inch tripod thread included in the Vixen-style mounting bar.... being so light and compact makes it ideal for taking on holiday.... The light carry case is ideal for this system...Perfect for taking on a plane or train as hand luggage.”"
