Our line of Cassegrain reflectors is directed towards visual astronomy (it excels at planetary, moon, globular clusters, nebulae observation) as well as planetary imaging.
It offers great light gathering abilities; its high quality mirrors being placed in a beautifully executed chassis which makes collimation very easy.
Contrary to popular beliefs, Cassegrain optics if designed and executed properly, can deliver pinpoint stars (no coma) in both 1.25″ and 2″ eyepieces.
Main features:
* 2" rack and pinion type focuser from Starlight Instruments, 50mm travel
* precision adjustment of primary & secondary mirror
* portable, medium size reflector telescope
* truss type chassis design for quick cool down
* carbon fibre and aluminium alloy high quality construction.
