ACUTER Solarus 80 solar telescope with motorized solar mount

«We enormously enjoyed our experience with the Acuter Solarus 80 solar telescope... This is not an instrument intended for observing prominences or the finest details of the solar surface, but for sunspots it proved remarkable. The ratio of visual experience to affordability makes it an excellent starter set. With or without a mount, the Solarus 80 doesn't collect dust: it's practical and rewarding enough to come back to again and again.»
- BBC Sky at Night Magazine

ACUTER is an international reference brand, recognized for its innovative, high-quality instruments dedicated to amateur astronomy and science education. Visit Solarus 80 is a turnkey solar telescope designed to observe the Sun in complete safety, with exemplary ease of use.


Safe solar observation - white light

Visit ACUTER Solarus 80 is a 80 mm diameter, equipped with a permanently mounted white-light glass solar filter. This design eliminates any risk of mishandling and allows safe observation of many solar phenomena:

  • Sun spots and their evolution
  • Details of the photosphere
  • Solar eclipses
  • Mercury and Venus transits

Solarus 80 complies with the international standard ISO 12312-2:2015 for direct observation of the Sun. It must always be used in accordance with the instructions.


Integrated filter wheel for enhanced contrast

The telescope features a integrated rotating filter wheel, which allows the Sun to be observed in different shades to improve the legibility of structures:

  • Pre-installed filters: red, yellow, blue, green, orange
  • ND filter (neutral density)
  • An empty slot for observation without color filter

A visual indicator clearly shows which filter is currently in use.


Revolutionary self-tracking sunglasses

This version of the Solarus 80 is supplied with a Sky-Watcher self-following solar frame, with advanced automatic sun-tracking technology.

Operating principle :

  • Automatic levelling thanks to built-in tilt sensor
  • Automatic calculation of the Sun's position via GPS (date, time and position)
  • Automatic sun scanning
  • Sun detection by solar sensor and immediate locking
  • Continuous, silent tracking of the Sun in the eyepiece field

Simply level the tripod and point the telescope roughly to the left of the Sun: the mount takes care of the rest, without any complex alignment.


Solar photography with your smartphone

A universal smartphone adapter is supplied, making it easy to capture images of the Sun, sunspots or eclipses, so you can keep a photographic record of your observations.

Smartphone not included.
