The 10" f/5 UNC Newtonian is a universal telescope for portable and stationary use. When observing the Moon and planets, only the atmosphere limits the resolution of the telescope. However, the Newtonian is also bright enough to successfully photograph nebulae and galaxies.
- High-quality carbon tube manufactured in Deutschland with maximum stability - individually manufactured
- Easy collimation of main and secondary mirrors - by hand, without tools
- The side edge of the secondary mirror is blackened.
- The secondary mirror is attached to the secondary mirror mount with the correct offset
- 94% reflection on the primary mirror and secondary mirror for a brighter image
- Diffraction-limited primary mirror - each telescope is tested on our optical bench before shipping
Carbon lens tube: The classic black carbon lens tube saves weight. This not only makes transportation easier but also takes load off the mount. At the same time, the thermal expansion coefficient of carbon fibre is considerably smaller than that of aluminium or steel. This makes the telescope's focus much more stable when is comes to changes in temperature.
Berger anti-reflective paint for the best possible internal blackening: Berger anti-reflective paint is used on this Newtonian telescope. It darkens the interior of the tube just as well as velour film. The big advantage, apart from its lower weight, is that the paint hardly attracts dust. The optics remain clean. With velour film, dust accumulates very quickly on the primary mirror.
For mounting on a prism rail: Flat mounting surface with an M6 thread on each tube clamp
UNCN2-G2 2" focuser: The focuser protrudes only 58 mm from the edge of the tube and can still support heavy cameras and accessories without tilting. The focuser is superior to conventional Crayford focusers.
- High rigidity with extremely short overall length
- Precise 1:10 reduction ratio - for perfectly focused astrophotography
- The adjustment is decoupled from the ball bearing – a clear advantage over Crayford focusers
- Can be expanded with motor focus – with the TS motor focus advantage: manual adjustment possible with attached focuser
- The ball bearings are adjustable, allowing the focuser tube to be perfectly adjusted – however, we deliver the focuser already optimally adjusted.
- Accessories can be screwed on – the 2" plug-in sleeve can be unscrewed, leaving you with an M54x0.75 internal thread.
