This all-new model comes with AFC optics found in similar to virtually every observatory in the world. This telescope builds upon the classic Ritchey-Chretien design to create coma-free pinpoint star images and flatter fields, reduce astigmatism, and eliminate diffraction spikes - all at a fraction of the cost of traditional RC format. With maximum practical visual power of 750x, this scope is both versatile and powerful. Primary and secondary mirrors are crafted from durable grade-A Pyrex glass, and the correcting plate and lens are made of water-white glass. The Ultra-High Transmission Coatings increase total light transmission and image brightness by up to 20 percent in comparison to standard coatings, making stars and nebulae appear significantly brighter.     QUESTIONS Toll free 1-866-726-7371 or  astroguy@handsonoptics.com   Place a Bid!
