The ARTEC 200M, a Newtonian astrograph, offers you an astronomical telescope of the highest standard. The OTAs are manufactured entirely in Italy and are characterised by a unique attention to detail.
This Astrograph uses the classic optical design of a Newtonian telescope with a native aperture ratio of f/4.0 and a parabolic Pyrex primary mirror that is aluminised and has a reflectivity of more than 95 %. The secondary mirror undergoes the same treatment. Its compact size and relatively low weight make the ARTEC 200 the ideal instrument for travelling astronomers who are always in search of a dark sky. Its ease of transport and, above all, its reliability in maintaining collimation thanks to a very sophisticated mechanism make the Alpha Star / ARTEC superior to other Newtonian telescopes of similar size.
Only optics that guarantee excellent telescope performance are used for the ARTEC series, including a correction of at least λ/8 and a Strehl ratio of at least 0.95.
This instrument comes with a coma corrector with a reduction factor of 0.95x, which ensures a focal length of 760 mm and a resulting aperture ratio of f/3.8. The resulting illuminated field corresponds to 30 mm (APS-C).
