Astronomical Telescopes

Ritchey-Chrétien 250
Ritchey-Chrétien configuration available in both open truss and closed tube configurations in carbon fibre.  These are light and transportable with a relatively short focal length and are suitable for both imaging and viewing of medium field deep sky objects.  The mirrors are ventilated and the secondary mirror is dew protected.  The telescopes feature Losmandy-type double mounting systems..

 

Ritchey-Chrétien 300

Ritchey-Chrétien configuration available in both open truss and closed tube configurations in carbon fibre.  These are recommended for use in fixed positions and allow viewing and imaging of medium field deep sky objects.  They are particularly suitable for medium sized galaxies, planetary nebulae and extended, diffuse nebulae.  The mirrors are ventilated and the secondary mirror is dew protected.  The telescopes feature Losmandy-type double mounting systems..

Ritchey-Chrétien 360
Ritchey-Chretien observatory configuration available in both open truss and closed tube configurations in carbon fibre.  Because of their long focal lengths and more limited field, they are well placed for viewing and imaging of more faint objects such as galaxies, planetary nebulae, clusters and close-ups of diffuse nebulae.  They are also suitable for high-resolution planetary imaging.  The mirrors are ventilated and the secondary mirror is dew protected.  The telescopes feature Losmandy-type double mounting systems..

Control Box
Control box for Starworks telescopes to manage the primary mirror ventilation system and the secondary mirror dew prevention system.  It is also possible to output the temperature of the primary mirror on a PC-sold separately and needs to be ordered at the time of ordering the telescope.
