6" F/9 Ritchey-Chretien Astrograph Telescope
[OR-8956]
|
The Orion 6" Ritchey-Chretien Telescope produces superb flat-field, coma-free images that are superior to those achievable with conventional reflector or Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes.
One of the most compact astrographs available, at a breakthrough low price of less than $800! Until now, RCs typically cost upwards of $10,000.
The Orion 6" RC Telescope is ideal for use with both small and large-format CCD cameras and DSLRs; provides a wide, fully illuminated field and pinpoint star clarity out to the edge of the camera's sensor.
Optical tube has eight computer-positioned baffles to ensure maximum contrast; primary mirror tube has four internal baffles; secondary mirror light shield has internal glare thread baffles.
The Orion 6" Ritchey-Chretien Telescope has a compact, lightweight optical tube that is ideally suited for use on medium and large-sized equatorial mounts.
Deliveries expected to begin in October, 2009.

Epsilon-180ED f/2.8 Hyperbolic Flat-Field Astrograph OTA
[TK-TEK0180]
|
Hyperbolic Flat-Field Astrograph design offers up and amazingly fast effective focal ratio of f/2.8!
The Takahashi Epsilon 180ED catadioptric extra low dispersion optics provide high quality images for visual observation and large field imaging needs.
Wide, perfectly flat field supports traditional photographic formats as 24x36 (35mm), 6x6, 6x9 and works perfectly with mega pixel digital 35mm cameras and CCD imagers.
The Takahashi Epsilon 180ED newly designed corrector provides incomparable contrast and sharpness - combined with extreme accuracy.
Appreciably shorter exposure times reduce tracking error and produce 10 micron stellar images across the entire field.
The Takahashi Epsilon 180ED picks up faint details and nebulosity missed by slower instruments!

CGE Pro 925 EdgeHD Telescope
[CE-11092]
|
The Celestron CGE Pro 925 EdgeHD is an aplanatic Schmidt telescope designed to produce aberration-free images across a wide visual and photographic field of view.
Reduces more than just off-axis star coma... it gives an astrograph quality flat focal plane all the way to the edge of the field of view.
The Celestron CGE Pro 925 EdgeHD guarantees you visibly sharp stars across some of the largest CCD chips available today.
Superior edge performance not only creates rounder, more pleasing stars but actually improves the resolution and limiting magnitude when compared to telescopes of equal aperture.
The Celestron CGE Pro 925 EdgeHD includes Celestron's StarBright XLT coating group on every surface for maximum light throughput across the widest visual and photographic spectrum.
Produces a focal plane more than three-times flatter than standard Schmidt Cassegrain telescope and dramatically flatter than other competing coma-free designs.
*Available early 2010!
