Razor-sharp across a large field of view, without distortion or coma, all the way to the edge of 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-406-3250-Truss-OTA-5.jpg\" alt=\"Omegon Pro RC 406\/3250 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-406-3250-Truss-OTA-4.jpg\" alt=\"The 3-inch monorail focuser of the Omegon RC 406\" 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\">The final piece of the RC line<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The quartz mirrors keep the focus stable during temperature fluctuations: adjustment is hardly necessary, even deep into the night. The ball-bearing 3-inch monorail focuser illuminates large-format image fields without vignetting, and the powerful fan shortens the cool-down time of the large mirror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Extensions and a Losmandy dovetail complete the equipment; count on an observatory mount and a permanent setup.<\/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 406\/3250 with hyperbolic quartz mirrors<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Quartz honeycomb primary mirror<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Open carbon truss tube<\/li>\n\n\n<li>3 inch monorail focuser<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Powerful fan<\/li>\n\n\n<li>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 (89 euros) brings out emission nebulae, and the Omegon Powerbank 10k 12V (39.90 euros) powers the fan and camera in the observatory.<\/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 very advanced astrophotographers looking for maximum aperture per euro in the RC design. Not for: those who want to minimize the load on the mount; the Lightweight version pushes the mirror mass down even further. Are you doubting between the models?
