The telescope will then be pointed to the correct altitude and the mount will slew clockwise hunting for the Sun. The Solar Sensor will detect the sun and lock onto it, and will silently track and keep it within the eyepiece's field of view indefinitely. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Acuter Solarus-80 Solar Telescope \u0026amp; Auto-Tracking Solar Mount Outfit can be used by educational establishments, beginners and experienced observers alike. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eACUTER SOLARUS-80 SOLAR TELESCOPE OTA SPECIFICATION:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in Permanently Mounted White Light Solar Filter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eObjective Lens Diameter: 80mm (Multi-Coated)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTelescope Focal Length: 400mm (f\/5)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEyepiece Supplied: Fixed 5-16mm Zoom Eyepiece, adjustable in 5mm, 10mm \u0026amp; 16mm stages\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMagnifications: x80, x40 \u0026amp; x25\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSafe Solar Finder \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUniversal Smartphone Adaptor (smartphone not supplied)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFilter Wheel, Pre-loaded with Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, Orange \u0026amp; ND (Neutral Density) Filters, with handy In-Use Filter Indicator.
