Russian Intes TelescopesBefore we discuss about the Russian Intes telescopes lets first learn about their history and origin. Two Russian designers namely Maksutov and Navashin designed the first compact telescope during the World War 2. This newly constructed telescope was named Maksutov and was not only superior in its optic quality but was also good for the amateur or professional astronomers world- wide. Intes Micro is a Russia based company and was originally known as Manufacturing Cooperative Intes in the year 1991 when it was first founded. The founders of this company that was situated in Moscow were a group of enterprising technicians and engineers. They had started this company with the aim of creating 150mm Maksutov telescope. This company also engaged in manufacturing and exporting telescope tube assemblies and accessories to as many as 8 countries (USA, Japan, Korea, Germany, Italy, France etc) across the world. What makes the Russian Intes telescopes so popular with amateur, or professional astronomers is their technology and high-grade optical quality. The telescopes manufactured by Intes are designed to perfection with every minute detail that is taken care of by the engineers. Moreover since Intes is directly engaged in exporting these telescopes therefore it is much more convenient and affordable for the other countries to buy them without having to pay higher prices to the other manufacturer’s. The top of the range telescopes that are constructed by Intes Micro are Maksutov Cassegrain Telescopes and Maksutov Newtonian Telescopes. The following are some of the distinct features of both the telescopes that have been mentioned above: - The Maksutov Cassegrain Telescope- Portable, compact and easy to carry. Well- corrected image. Consistent image quality as in the case of refractors. The viewing position is very comfortable. Perfection and superiority in the image quality. Allows the use of multiple accessories. The absence of mirror spider vanes helps by enhancing the image quality by reducing interruptions. No need for checking the collimation. User- friendly telescopes. Fulfilling the need of professionals. The Maksutov Newtonian Telescope- Good image quality. Un-paralleled sharpness and contrast. Due to the combination of meniscus lens and a fitting primary mirror the overall correction is brilliant. The image quality is similar to that of a refractor. There is no risk of internal tube currents because the tube is closed. This also helps in improving the image quality. The focal ratio is short which also allows astronomical imaging without the need of additional correctors. Besides the above features there are some common features that underline the designing of both the telescopes. The intes telescopes are generally equipped with elaborate baffles that eliminate stray light and also come with an active cooling system. The intes telescopes are thus a boon to astronomers who want to get a perfect insight to the universe. Since these telescopes are not produced in a mass quantity therefore the engineers painstakingly construct them to precision. It is their robust quality and mechanism that makes the Russian intes telescopes a favorite of most professional astronomers. |
