127 mm Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope with 1359 mm focal length and f/10.7 focal ratio. The Acuter Voyager MAK127-FAST features a dual-knob friction focusing system, 20 mm wide-angle eyepiece and smartphone adapter.
Designed to combine a compact optical system with a long focal length, the Acuter Voyager MAK127-FAST uses a 127 mm Maksutov-Cassegrain optical design with a 1359 mm focal length and f/10.7 focal ratio.
Acuter particularly recommends the telescope for observing double stars, lunar surface detail and bright planets. The optical system features broadband multi-coatings designed to maximise image contrast and sharpness.
The FAST designation refers to the specific focusing system developed for this range.
Instead of the conventional focusing knob commonly used on Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes, the Voyager MAK127-FAST features a friction-drive mechanism operated by two focusing knobs. Focusing is achieved by moving the primary mirror.
The focusing mechanism includes a scale indicating approximate focus positions.
Three references are provided: 16 m, 32 m and infinity. This allows the focuser to be moved quickly towards the approximate position required before final focusing.
With its stated 127 mm aperture, the Voyager MAK127-FAST is suitable for detailed views of the Moon, bright planets and double stars.
Its 1359 mm focal length provides an f/10.7 focal ratio, combining a relatively long focal length with the compact dimensions characteristic of the Maksutov-Cassegrain design.
A 20 mm 1.25-inch eyepiece is supplied with the telescope.
It provides a 70° apparent field of view and 68× magnification with the telescope's 1359 mm focal length.
The telescope includes a 6 × 30 erect-image optical finderscope.
It assists with initial pointing before observing through the main telescope eyepiece.
A 90° 1.25-inch star diagonal is supplied.
It provides a more comfortable viewing position when the telescope is aimed towards objects high in the sky.
The Voyager MAK127-FAST supports standard 1.25-inch astronomical eyepieces.
Additional eyepieces can therefore be used alongside the supplied 20 mm model to obtain different magnifications.
A universal smartphone camera adapter is supplied with the telescope.
It allows a smartphone to be positioned behind the eyepiece for capturing images of observed objects.
The optical tube features a side-mounted 45 mm dovetail bar for attachment to a compatible mount.
The stated optical tube weight is 4.3 kg.
