Telescopes

This short-tube refractor telescope has wide field views, thanks to its achromatic objective lens of 80mm and focal length of 400mm.

• Fast, wide-field 11” f/2.2 optical design with rare-earth glass for images free of false color, coma, and field curvature
• Large 43.3mm optimized image circle maintains pinpoint stars to the far corners of even the largest astroimaging sensors, while the usable field extends even further to 52mm for larger format sensors
• New Ultra-Stable Focus System (USFS) minimizes focus shift and mirror flop
• Integrated air-cooling system features a quiet, high-output 12V MagLev fan and vents with mesh filters to prevent dust ingress
• Common camera adapters (T-thread and M48) included for easy attachment to popular CCD and DSLR cameras

NOTE:  For solar observing we recommend the Astrozap Glass Solar Filter (Product No. 124466) for use on this telescope.

The 6” Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube offers 40% more light gathering ability than a 5” telescope. The Schmidt-Cassegrain design also eliminates chromatic aberration, making it a good choice for entry-level astroimaging.

NOTE: The recommended solar filters for this scope for solar observing are;

- the Orion 185 mm (7.17") Glass Solar Filter (Product No. 125081) or

- the Meade Glass White Light Solar Filter 172 - 180 mm (Product No. 125918).
