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

The TSRCKOLLI collimator was developed for Ritchey-Chrétien telescopes, but also for all other types of telescopes, like refractor, Newtonian or SC Cassegrains - made in Europe

• The corrector allows the collimation of almost all optical systems with high accuracy.
• Suitable for all 2" receptacle with precice 2" barrel to avoid tilting
• LEDs are powered by 2 normal 1.5V AA batteries (batteries are not included)
• We recommend the collimator mainly for RC telescopes, Cassegrains and Schmidt Cassegrains as long as they have a center mark on their secondary mirror. So a top collimation state of the telescope can be reached even at daylight.

The adapter extends a male T2 thread to M48x0.75 (2") filter thread without increasing the length.

• Female thread: T2 - M42x0.75
• Male thread: 2" filter thread - M48x0.75
• Length: only 2.5 mm - the mechanical length is optically not effective, as the adapter is completely sunken in the connection adapter

• 3" RAP rack and pinion focuser with 360° rotation possibility
• 2" and 1.25" connection for observation are included - 1.25" and 2" accessories can be used
• 2" nebula filters can be screwed into the corrector
• CNC tube rings with handle, viewfinder shoe and V-style dovetail bar are included in delivery
• The handle offers adaptation options for guide scope or camera
