Apochromatic Telescope 304mm F/4 Astrograph for Astrophotography

The combination of raw light gathering power, a parabolic primary mirror, and a ventilated cooling system makes this instrument ideal for astrophotographers who want to work without compromises. Whether capturing emission nebulae in H-alpha or photographing galaxy fields with an OSC camera: this system gets everything out of your sensor.

✓ 304 mm aperture – captures more than 1800x as much light as the naked eye
✓ f/4 optics – short exposure times and wide fields of view
✓ Parabolic BK7 primary mirror with 94% reflection coating
✓ 2″ Crayford focuser with micro-adjustment and high load capacity
✓ Active primary mirror fan for rapid temperature stabilization

Despite its impressive performance, the telescope remains relatively compact for a 12″ reflector. Combined with an EQ6-R, iOptron CEM70, or other heavy mount, this forms a semi-professional system ready for long nights and serious projects.

Application

• Photography of faint deep-sky objects under dark skies
• Narrowband photography with OSC or monochrome cameras
• Setups with guiding and advanced processing
• Visual observation of nebulae and clusters with wide-field eyepieces

What You Can See

✓ Veil Nebula with hair structures, IC 1396 fully in view
✓ Spiral arms, dust lanes and starbursts in galaxies
✓ Hundreds of clusters and nebulae in one evening – with shorter exposure
✓ Detail in planetary nebulae like the Dumbbell Nebula or M57
✓ Visual: razor-sharp images with 2″ wide-field eyepieces
