"“Small is beautiful, or so the saying goes, and the Acuter Voyager MAK80 certainly fits the description, even when its 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.”"

The new ACUTER VOYAGER MAK80 is a high quality and powerful Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope with 80mm aperture.

It is compact and convenient enough to take it with you on your next vacation trip.
The set consists of an 80mm Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope OTA with 800mm focal length, a 40x and 80x magnifying eyepiece, an optical 8x21 viewfinder, a particularly high-quality, phase-corrected 90° roof prism with image erection as well as a smartphone adapter and a carrying case. The set comes in an attractive gift box with a handle for easy transport. 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.
