Cassegrain telescope 114mm f/12 OTA for astrophotography and visual observation offers a unique combination of sharp optics, high focal ratio and compact design. This classic Cassegrain is perfect for those who want to observe or photograph with high magnification despite limited space or light pollution.
With a focal length of 1368 mm and an aperture of 114 mm, this telescope delivers bright images with high contrast, without chromatic aberration. Thanks to the closed tube and centered optics, it’s low maintenance and ideal for both advanced visual observers and beginning photographers.
✓ Compact OTA with high focal ratio (f/12)
✓ Closed system – no collimation needed during transport
✓ Exceptionally sharp image for double stars and planets
✓ Lightweight design – suitable for light mounts or balcony use
✓ Ideal for high-res photography with small sensor or planetary camera
This telescope feels at home in a small urban setup, as a travel companion, or as a compact planetary specialist for those who already own a wide-field refractor. Combine with a monochrome camera and filters for spectacular close-ups of the moon and planets.
Application
- High resolution photography of planets and the moon
