Astrophotography Telescopes & OTAs

This Sky-Watcher Black Diamond SWBD15075-OTA Single Speed Photo Reflector Tube features superior optical design and a significantly large 150mm aperture that delivers clear, crisp images during stargazing. This high value telescope is packed with features you would only normally find in the top-end range.

You expect nothing less than crystal-clear images in your scope, but what are you going to do with the mount and tripod you already have? Mount it with the saxon 200DS Astrophotography Newtonian Telescope, that's what!

Combined with the aperture of 200mm and focal length of 1000mm, this scope is great for prime-focus photography. Higher quality images can be achieved with the optional coma corrector.

Make the saxon 100 ED Refractor Telescope part of your astronomy journey with its quality optics and portability.

With an aperture of 100mm and a focal length of 900mm, this telecope is perfect for wide field photography of both land and sky objects. Weighing just under 4 kg, this OTA can easily be transported around and mounted on your choice of mount and tripod. 

For a high-performing telescope at an affordable price tag, your choice has to be the saxon 100 ED Refractor Telescope.
