While astrographs offer visual observing capabilities, their true potential shines in astrophotography. With an f/4 aperture, they rank among the fastest Newtonian telescopes, enabling crisp, short-exposure images. The 94% reflective secondary mirror and BK7 main mirror deliver brighter, high-contrast visuals, surpassing conventional mirrors' performance.

Seamless Illumination, Effortless Photography

The astrograph's generous secondary mirror ensures uniform illumination, ideal for attaching DSLR or CCD cameras. Experience uninterrupted viewing with 2" wide-field eyepieces, free from shadowing. The compact OTA length facilitates swift setup, making it perfect for extended deep sky objects and forgiving of minor tracking errors, resulting in remarkable astrophotography with minimal effort.

Precision Focusing, Versatile Compatibility

Equipped with a 2" Crayford focuser featuring 1:10 fine focusing, the Omegon V-Power focuser ensures pinpoint accuracy for all celestial targets. Its sturdy construction effortlessly supports cameras weighing up to 5 kilograms, guaranteeing stable, slip-free operation. With anti-reflection baffles and a 2" to 1.25" reducer, achieve high-contrast images with ease.

Cutting-Edge Design, Optimal Performance

The iOptron® GEM45 mount combines innovative design with unmatched functionality. With a compact, lightweight body, it boasts a remarkable 2.8 payload to mount weight ratio. Featuring an integrated iPolar for easy polar alignment, quick-lock drive engagement system, and advanced cable management, the GEM45 ensures hassle-free operation.

Tailored to Your Needs

Choose between two variants of the mount to suit your preferences. The variant with integrated iGuider eliminates the need for a separate autoguider solution, streamlining your setup for astrophotography.
