More about the series Photon...
The N 203/800 optics are incredibly high-speed and, therefore, ideally suited to astrophotography! You require a significantly shorter exposure time comparted to a system with a higher focal length. With its optional coma corrector, this Newtonian turns into an real astrograph.
Due to its design, the Newtonian telescope produces images with no colour errors. Unlike other telescope designs, where a lot of money needs to be invested in the lenses to minimise these errors.
With an 8 inch (approx. 203 millimetre) aperture, visual observations of nebulae and galaxies are a great pleasure too. The supplied extension tubes ensure the ability to reach the correct focal position.
An integrated fan provides fast cooling to the ambient temperature.
An 8-inch model is also still relatively easy to transport and only requires a medium-sized mount.
The working distance from the M48 thread is 55 mm. Using a T-ring automatically sets the correct distance for astrophotography using DSLR cameras.
Carbon Fibre Tube
This apochromat is well suitable to visual observing but was, in fact, developed especially for astrophotography. Use the advantages of a carbon fibre tube: it is particularly light and so even perfectly suitable for using on smaller mounts. The tube also offers a very high inherent stability and only minimal thermal expansion. These advantages are particularly useful for astrophotography, as the focus remains stable for the whole night. The dew shield is also carbon fibre and can be extended easily. In addition, the tube is lined with black felt.
TS Optics is a brand of Teleskop-Service.
