Product description

Alter MN86 f6 Maksutov-Newtonian from Intes Micro

The OTA comes with 2" Russian focuser with 1.25" adapter as standard and a focus range of 60mm at the focuser (sufficient for 35mm cameras and CCDs).

This larger model comes with an aperture illumination that has been optimized for photovisual purposes. For brightness and contrast this Maksutov-Newtonian is approximately equal to a very good 7" apochromat. With its 1200mm focal length and the use of a wide-angle 2" eyepiece, the field of view is sufficient for the most extended deep sky objects, including comets. Its low weight means that an inexpensive mount such as the Skywatcher EQ-6 , Losmandy GM 11 or Gemini 41 is suitable. In addition to cooling from the fan, the main mirror can be cooled using the outside air by removing a plate at the rear. Both the main mirror and secondary mirror are fully adjustable, and also the secondary mirror bracket has been modified with our models so that it can be handled and rotated without having to touch the meniscus lens with your fingers.

The telescope OTA can be rotated due to the special design of the tube ring clamps, so that the focuser can always be set to the most convenient position for looking into.

The contrast of this telescope is so high that it can out-perform many other mass produced telescopes, even on deep sky objects, despite the smaller aperture.

All Intes Micro Maksutov Newtonians have a sophisticated interior system of baffles where the complete OTA interior has been designed and equipped with baffles and with an extra set of baffles opposite the focuser which effectively blocks any stray light from reflections within the OTA from getting into the eyepiece.

The telescope has proved to be an exceptionally good CCD platform.

Mirrors made from Sital or quartz, as well as an increase in the optical quality up to 1/10 wave front p.t.v and a Zygo Mark II interferometry test report, as well as alternative focusers are available on special request.
