TS-Optics 8" Ritchey-Chrtien Pro RC Telescope with Carbon tube

The 8" Ritchey-Chrétien is the ideal telescope for astrophotography - more stable focus through carbon tube.

♦ Aperture 8" / 203 mm - focal length 1624 mm - focal ratio f/8

♦ Hyperbolic primary and secondary mirror for very high sharpness on the optical axis and a large well-corrected field for astrophotography

♦ Mirrors made of fused silica for stable focus position

♦ 99% dielectric high-reflectivy coating on main and secondary mirror for an even brighter image

♦ Carbon tube - more rigidity and better focus stability for astrophotography

♦ Quicker cooling down thanks to open construction

♦ Vixen style dovetail on one side and Losmandy style dovetail on the other side

♦ High-quality 2" dual speed MONORAIL focuser with 2" / 1.25" reduction adapter - motor focuser optionally available

♦ Spacer sleeves for optimal focus position behind the focuser are included.

♦ RC correctors for larger sensors from APS-C upwards are optionally available

♦ Optional: CCD47 - 0.67x focal length reduction for photography. This is our recommendation for shorter exposure times
