INTANE OPTICS BLOG

Most first-time telescope users know little or nothing about the night sky, and you certainly do not need a course in astronomy to enjoy your telescope to the fullest. Begin with the objects easiest to find: the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Mars.

All of these are bright objects even in the midst of a big-city environment and can be located by using star maps in popular monthly magazines such as Astronomy or Sky & Telescope. For more advanced celestial listings, use Meade Star Charts or Meade Epoch 2000sk sky software. With only a little study, you will quickly be star-hopping from one object to another.

Some types of objects (e.g., nebulae and galaxies) are best observed in a dark-sky environment, although even many of these are clearly observable through small telescopes in the city. The Moon and planets, by contrast, can be studied about equally well from the city or country. The basic rule is that while observations made outside the city generally reveal more detail, particularly in deep space, there are still a great many objects within the grasp of a small telescope in urban areas.

Dear Alice,

We have finally find some time for testing the telescope today.

We test the telescopes next to the WO Megrez from Fred.

First impressions from Fred are: The telescope is looking beautiful and has a nice design (this is only the mechanical he looked at)

Then we have test it on several objects like streetlights and traffic signs and some white buildings the first impression of the optics are good.

We also have looked at the magnification of both scopes that look equal.

But we have to try it on the moon, so we get a better impression.

Well we’re working on it and when we have a clear night we will test the telescopes next to each other.

There is one thing you should no, the Megrez from Fred is handpict by WO.

So his telescope is very good.

But this is what Fred said to me about the optics of the Intane Telescope

André, it looks you have a good Apo here.

When we are testing the scope at night ( hope we have soon a clear one) then first we make a small report and then later on we can work it out for a review.

I hope that you are satisfied by this message.

Best Regards

André

Hi Alice,
Thank you for checking back.
We had a very busy week and I am just now getting caught up on emails.
The lense was extremely well packed, the custom cut foam held the lenses securely, and the heavy wall box was still in good shape after shipping.
One of our professional opticians was impressed with the surface finish of the glass and uniform coating.
I was delighted to see the interferogram included with the lense. I did some additional testing with a Rochi screen, and I would say it agrees with the lenses rating

It was nice to not see any obvious zones, indicating good glass homogenaity.
I am looking forward to doing some star testing of the lense this weekend, and expect to see some very good images.
Sincerely,

David
