Acuter Elite Phoenix 40
40 mm f/10 H-alpha Solar TelescopeThe Acuter Elite Phoenix 40 represents a remarkable level of specification and performance at its price level!
The Acuter Acuter Elite Phoenix 40 is a safe solar telescope equipped with a 40 mm aperture front mounted etalon for the observation of active solar prominences and other solar details in the H-alpha band, with a performance of 0.6 angstroms or better.
Viewing the Sun in the narrow H-alpha band, the observer is rewarded with exciting, awe-inspiring real-time views of our nearest star in its full fiery majesty, seething with activity and revealing exciting details such as solar flares, prominences, spicules, granulation, sunspots and more!
The telescope is supplied with a universal smartphone camera adapter so that you can take photos with your cell phone to keep a photographic record of your observations. An additional UV/IR blocking filter is not necessary because these ranges are already blocked.
The Acuter Elite Phoenix 40 conforms to and meets the transmission requirements of ISO 12312-2:2015 (filters for the direct observation of the Sun).
Always use in accordance with the instructions.

"Unfortunately, there isn´t quite as much going on, but you can really see that the
ACUTER has genuine DoubleStack capabilities!
The scope is just a ton of fun to use and displays everything in great

;-)"

"Bestes H-alpha-Gerät in moderater Preisklasse. "
Written by Alexandre GERMANI
on 2025-05-04
"So far, I've only done a bit of testing. But I think that considering its price, it seems really great. Very well equipped with its zoom, its smartphone holder, and its aluminum body. I'll do more tests, but with a camera later."
