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 2" CCD compressor reduces the focal length of telescopes with the factor 0.67x, thus allowing significantly shorter exposure times.

• ♦ The focal reducer is perfectly suitable for RC telescope. It also works good with Celestron EHD or Meade ACF telescopes or with refractors up to the focal ratio F/9
• ♦ The image field of DSLR cameras up to APS-C format is illuminated - full illumination up to 29 mm
• ♦ Easy connection to the telescope via 2" barrel
• ♦ Optimal working distance from the M48x0.75 thread to the camera sensor is 85 mm - enough space for accessories like off-axis guider or filter wheel
• ♦ 2" filter thread at the telescope side

Introducing the new EAF, the latest innovation from the engineers at ZWO. This electronic focuser enables precise, dynamic focus control for planetary and deep-sky imaging. New version 5 volts

The Sky-Watcher EQM-35 provides a convenient, stable platform for refractors up to 100mm or up to 127mm Maksutovs. Designed as an imaging system, it also works astonoshingly well for visual use. This mount is perfect for the beginner as well as the more advanced astronomer.
The removable dec assembly allows for the use of Star Adventurer L-brackets or ball head adapters, turning the mount into a heavy duty tracking system.
If what you’re looking for is a lightweight, stable mount that is precise and easy to use, the EQM-35 is the mount you’re looking for.

WARNING: the Synscan hand controller has now been replaced by the WIFI controller to be used with the app Synscan Pro by Skywatcher

• AstroSolar® Safety Film 5.0 for solar observation and photography at high magnification, telescope quality, Optical Density (OD) = 5.0
• Safe for visual solar observation (with additional optics) and imaging
• This highest precision film consistently produces strehl ratios of 94 to 96 percent at interferometric tests – thus it performs optically like a Fluorite Triplet Lens by Carl Zeiss or Astro Physics
• AstroSolar Safety Film is best suited for precision work with all astronomical telescopes and binoculars – just as well as for all photographic camera- and tele-lenses
• For more than 25 years on the market, the only film-material made to not deteriorate the optical wavefront, it does allow to attain high magnification with any long-range optics without reducing sharpness or contrast of the solar surface.
