Experience with Acuter Elite Phoenix 40

Hi Karl,

I'd like to give you a short review of the "Acuter Elite Phoenix 40".

First of all, thank you very much for your recommendations. I'm very impressed with the smooth and consistent image quality.

For the price, it's a very nice display with excellent contrast.
... Since I prefer components with brass clamping rings for their stability, I have now used/replaced the following components that I previously purchased from you:

- on the focuser/ TS adapter to 2 inches with ring clamp for Skywatcher Newtonian focuser M 54

- as a transition to the "solar zenith mirror" / TS2-1 TS adapter from 2" to 1.25" with brass clamping ring and Filter thread

-For visual observation, the Baader Hyperion Mark IV Zoom Universal Eyepiece 8-24mm 68° 1.25" / 2" has proven to be a practical and good option – optimal magnification is thus achievable.

The equipment used seems to me to be a perfect combination for this purpose. With excellent stability and versatile practical use,

also suitable for travel.

This telescope will provide me with many more enjoyable hours and relaxation for years to come. Thank you again, see you soon.
