AlterM500 Intes Micro Age M 500 - 5 "f / 10 Maksutov Cassegrain

Intes Micro Age M 500 - Maksutov Cassegrain - Opening 127mm - focal length 1270mm

In the meantime, these telescopes are no longer a matter of mass production, but exclusively custom-made products that are only built to special customer requirements. However, we have some models of this in stock.


Old M500 Intes Micro M500 Maksutov Cassegrain


A Maksutov Cassegrain from the house of INTES MICRO D = 127 mm f = 1270 mm, 5 "F / 10 with main mirror focusing without any shifting with only 33% central shading (including matching mirrorblende) At the bottom of the tube is a mounting plate with 3 threads, 2 of which are located in a center distance of 35mm with thread size 1/4 "-20, the third is in the middle and has the size 3/8".

A Maksutov is just perfect for the moon and planets. If you live in a polluted area and you do not have the opportunity to move to darker areas, you should definitely include this system in your considerations. If you can not see enough deep sky objects anyway, a telescope for the moon and planets (sun ONLY with a suitable filter) is considered. Even in light polluted areas, these objects will always be a worthwhile destination due to their brightness. Although bright deep sky objects are possible, the main focus will be on the moon and planets.

Enjoy beautiful lunar and detailed planet observations (like the rings of Saturn, moon shadow games on Jupiter or its big red spot) and also interesting deep-sky excursions to brighter objects, such as the Orion Nebula, the open binary star cluster (h and chi) in the Perseus or even the galaxy groups M81, not to mention the star cluster in the Hercules M 13!

Together with the bright and high-contrast image, here are beautiful details. Of course, the field of view is slightly smaller than short-range devices, but I do not need it on the moon and planets. Since the longer focal length is advantageous because you do not need additional Barlow lens for higher magnifications. This is used at very high magnifications, if the visibility conditions (low air movement, good transparency of the sky ...) allow it. (Bear in mind that every movement of air is magnified.) Since the moon reflects enough light, it will be used primarily to observe the craters and surface structures of our satellite.
