Coma-free, corrector-free, and ready for large format sensors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Ritchey-Chr\u00e9tien uses two hyperbolic mirrors: the design of virtually every professional observatory. The result is a large, coma-free field of view without a corrector: stars remain round all the way to the edges of the sensor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The open carbon truss construction is the recipe of professional observatories: rigid, light, and thermally stable, with natural ventilation that prevents its own microclimate inside the tube. The built-in 12V fan cools the primary mirror up to twice as fast, so you're working at full sharpness sooner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Omegon-Ritchey-Chretien-Pro-RC-304-2432-lichtgewicht-truss-OTA-7.jpg\" alt=\"Omegon Pro RC 304\/2432 Lightweight Truss Ritchey-Chr\u00e9tien\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8d39b2df wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Omegon-Ritchey-Chretien-Pro-RC-304-2432-lichtgewicht-truss-OTA-5.jpg\" alt=\"The 3-inch monorail focuser of the Omegon RC 304 truss\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Honeycomb: less mass, same precision<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The honeycomb primary mirror retains the full optical quality of quartz, but with considerably less glass mass, allowing for faster thermal equilibrium and fewer demands on your mount. The ball-bearing 3-inch monorail focuser illuminates large format image fields without vignetting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three extension tubes set the backfocus for any camera configuration and the Losmandy dovetail couples to observatory mounts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Included<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ritchey-Chr\u00e9tien optics 304\/2432 with hyperbolic quartz mirrors<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Honeycomb main mirror for fast thermal balance<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Open carbon truss tube<\/li>\n\n\n<li>3 inch monorail focuser<\/li>\n\n\n<li>12V Main mirror fan<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Three extensions<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Losmandy dovetail<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Featured accessories<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Omegon Pro UHC 2 inch filter (\u20ac89) brings out emission nebulae, and the Omegon Powerbank 10k 12V (\u20ac39.90) powers a fan and camera on location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For whom yes, for whom no<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For: Observatories and advanced amateurs who want 12-inch RC performance with minimal payload for the mount. Not for: Those who find the standard truss version adequate; it offers the same optical formula for two and a half thousand euros less. Still undecided between the models?
