Description
GSO RC Ritchey-Chretien 16" F/8 M-LRC Carbon Truss Optical Tube Assembly
Designed for experienced astrophotographers, the GSO RC Ritchey-Chretien 16" F/8 M-LRC Carbon Truss Optical Tube Assembly is a pinnacle model in GSO's distinguished lineup. This extraordinary telescope empowers you to capture stunning images of elusive celestial phenomena, including nebulae and distant galaxies.
The telescope’s optical system employs the acclaimed Ritchey-Chretien design, celebrated as the premier choice for astrophotography. This design effectively eliminates common optical distortions such as coma, spherical, and chromatic aberrations that often plague lens-based telescopes and other types of reflectors. The primary and secondary mirrors, crafted from quartz, provide exceptional thermal stability. Enhanced with a sophisticated internal baffling system, this design guarantees remarkably sharp images with high contrast and detailed intricacy.
Constructed as an open-frame instrument, the telescope features a robust carbon fiber and aluminum structure. This advanced design, alongside an integrated cooling system, ensures quicker temperature stabilization compared to traditional closed-tube telescopes.
