TS Optics Telescope N 154/600 Carbon Photon OTA (57275)

The TS Optics N 154/600 Carbon Photon OTA is a 6-inch Newtonian astrograph designed for high-performance astrophotography and visual observation. Its fast f/4 optics make it ideal for capturing deep sky objects with shorter exposure times. The compact and lightweight design allows it to be used with smaller mounts, making the entire setup more portable.

Astrophotography:
This telescope excels at wide-field astrophotography, making it perfect for large targets like the Andromeda Galaxy or the Orion Nebula. The secondary mirror is oversized to fully illuminate DSLR and CCD cameras. A coma corrector is recommended to address the typical coma seen in fast Newtonians. The focuser features a fine reduction ratio for precise focusing and is sturdy enough to handle heavy camera equipment.

Visual Observing:
The telescope can also be used for visual astronomy. The fast optics provide bright, detailed views, and both 1.25" and 2" eyepieces are supported. An extension tube is included to help achieve focus with eyepieces.

Versatility:
Equipped with high-quality tube clamps and a standard Vixen-style prism rail, this telescope is compatible with most mounts. A finder scope is included for easy target acquisition.

Carbon Fiber Tube:
The tube is made from carbon fiber for strength and reduced weight. It is manufactured in Germany.

TS Optics is a brand of Teleskop-Service.
