The 8" Ritchey-Chrétien is the perfect telescope for astrophotography, but it is also suitable for visual observation.

• ♦ 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
• ♦ Both mirrors made of fused silica for stable focus position
• ♦ 99% high-reflectivy coating on main and secondary mirror for an even brighter image and more contrast - special service from TS
• ♦ Quicker cooling down thanks to open construction and primary mirror ventilation
• ♦ Two Vixen style dovetail bars supplied - ideal for accessories like guiding scopes or a piggyback camera mount
• ♦ High-quality 2" dual speed MONORAIL focuser with 2" / 1.25" reduction adapter - motor focuser optionally available
• ♦ RC correctors for larger sensors from APS-C upwards are optionally available

This low profile adaptor enables the connection of T2 accessories to adaptors with M48x0,75 male thread.

• Thread towards telescope: M48x0,75 - 2" filter thread (female thread)
• Thread towards camera: T2 - M42x0,75 male thread
• Optical length only 3,5 mm
• Combining the optical extension tube TSVF230 with the TSM48-T2 adaptor provides a Focal Adaptor from 2" to T2 - with no optical length!

The TS Superflat GPU coma corrector is one of the best correctors for astrophotography through fast Newtonians.

• 4-element coma corrector for excellent imaging in the field and on the axis.
• Designed by Gyulai Pal in Hungary (GPU-Optics)
• Perfectly suitable for Newtonian telescopes with focal ratios of f/4 - provides very good results from f/3.5 to f/6.
• Very tolerant against tilting.
• Focal length is not changed.
• Camera connection through M48 thread.
• For better stability and accuracs, the corrector can be screwed to the focuser. Connection adapters for cameras and focusers are available.
