The Acuter Elite Phoenix 40 is a safe solar telescope equipped with a 40 mm Etalon filter on the front. It allows observation of the sun's chromosphere in H-alpha light with a half-width of 0.6 Angstrom. This makes protuberances, sunspots and other details on the sun visible! The Etalon is fine-tuned using a pressure tuning system.
You can safely align the telescope with the sun using the integrated solar finder.
The zoom eyepiece included in the delivery allows you to make observations. It offers a variable focal length of 5 to 16 millimetres. This corresponds to a magnification of 25 to 80 times. Of course, other eyepieces with a 1.25" thread can also be used.
The telescope comes with a universal smartphone adaptor so that you can capture your observations with your mobile phone.
Also suitable for night use: The telescope comes with not only a solar finder, but also a red dot finder. A diagonal mirror is also included in the scope of delivery. Unscrew the Etalon filter in front of the objective and replace the block filter with the diagonal mirror. Place the red dot finder on the tube. After this simple conversion, you have a telescope for night use.
With a suitable white light filter, you can also use the telescope to observe the sun in the continuous spectral range, which is ideal for studying sunspots. At dusk, you can easily switch from solar observation to observing the moon and planets. The ELITE PHOENIX 40 is very versatile, especially for observing the Sun, Moon and planets!
