Intes Micro is the world's only manufacturer of a whole series of Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes of exceptionally good optical quality, which was previously only rarely achieved even by Carl ZEISS in Jena with their well-known Meniscas 180.
Each Maksutov-Cassegrain has main mirror focusing, but without any visible mirror-shift. Up to a diameter of 10", every telescope has the famous 2" Schmidt-Cassegrain connection thread on the back. Telescopes of over 10" also have a fixed primary mirror with eyepiece focuser possible.
Each telescope has an internal baffle system for effectively suppressing any stray light. The OTAs are painted in cream white and prepared for receiving a dew shield with baffles. With an ideally designed field flattener / focal length reducer of 0.80X (0.75X measured), and 0.60X (0.55X measured) shorter exposure times with wider image fields are possible, which stay pin-sharp right to the edge of the image. The focusing latitude provided by the main mirror focusing system allows the connection of almost any accessory.
Alter M809 F/10
The Intes Micro Alter M809 is a premium choice foc amateurs looking for a particularly good contrast and image sharpness. The telescope is still portable, but it requires a sturdy mount with its weight of 13kgs. With its focal ratio of f/10 the Alter M809 is well suited for nearly all purposes. No matter whether you are into planetary observing or Deep Sky photography, the Alter M809 brings an excellent performance.
