The flatfield eyepieces are ideal all-rounders for deep sky and also planets with an excellent sharpness performance.

The eyepieces have a very high quality coating and offer excellent sharpness in the field so that they are equally suitable for the deep-sky observation of nebulae and galaxies but also good for the moon and planets. The eyepieces are mutually parfocal, so that refocusing the eyepiece is not necessary.

• Flat field free of optical aberrations like field curvature, coma, astigmatism and chromatic aberration across an entire APS-C sensor.
• Unlike the larger RASAs that work with DSLR and large CCD cameras, the 8” model was designed with color astronomical CMOS cameras, smaller CCD cameras, and mirrorless cameras in mind. The telescope does not work with standard DSLR cameras.
• NEW Ultra-Stable Focus System – six precision sealed ball bearings virtually eliminate image shift.
• Integrated air cooling system –12V DC MagLev fan reduces cooldown time and provides optimal air flow while filtering out dust.
• Internal filter mount – seamlessly accommodates a Light Pollution Imaging Filter into the optical path.
• CGE dovetail mounting rail.
• Performs over a wider spectral range than most telescopes, from 390-800 nm, so more of the light passing through the astrograph is in sharp focus.

Add extra cable length to your dew heaters with this RCA extension cable

Dew heater for secondary mirror - small

NOTE: Sirius Optics recommends that any dew heater strap or heated dew shield be connected to a dual channel dew controller and not directly to 12V.

This allows the user to regulate the current and temperature of the dew heater strap or dew shield. 

The recommended control unit is the Astrozap Dual Channel Dew Controller (Product No. 124474)

Dew heater for secondary mirror - large

NOTE: Sirius Optics recommends that any dew heater strap or heated dew shield be connected to a dual channel dew controller and not directly to 12V.

This allows the user to regulate the current and temperature of the dew heater strap or dew shield. 

The recommended control unit is the Astrozap Dual Channel Dew Controller (Product No. 124474)

Heated dew strap for 7" telescope

NOTE: Sirius Optics recommends that any dew heater strap or heated dew shield be connected to a dual channel dew controller and not directly to 12V.

This allows the user to regulate the current and temperature of the dew heater strap or dew shield.
