iOptron Photron 16″ Truss-Tube Ritchey-Chrétien (6117)

iOptron Photron 16″ Truss-Tube Ritchey-Chrétien

Designed for today’s astro imager, the iOptron Photron 16″ Truss-Tube Ritchey-Chrétien deliver a sharp clear image from one edge to the other. The truss tube models are designed to carry on the long standing reputation of iOptron for creating and manufacturing solid, stable, accurate tracking mounts, in a high quality RC astrograph telescope.

The iOptron Photron 16″ Truss-Tube Ritchey-Chrétien feature low thermal expansion quartz primary and secondary mirrors with highly reflective dietetic coatings maximizing the light getting to your eyepiece or imagine device. The RC optical design delivers coma, spherical and chromatic aberration free results, perfect for color and monochrome imaging. A fixed position primary mirror eliminates image shift that occurs when focusing from other telescope designs. With 1/12th wave or better primary mirror our RC scopes delver images and views that are out of this world.

Each Photron truss tube instrument comes equipped with a dual-speed linear bearing Crayford focuser that can facilitate our optional ASCOM compliant electronic focus control. Three focuser extension rings are provided for a “flex-free” solid extension as a means to take up any unneeded back focus. Its backbone, made up of strong, light, carbon fiber truss supports hold the optics firmly in place while keeping weight to a minimum. It’s open air design results in rapid cooling, reducing the “wait time” before use. Photron by iOptron, RC truss tube telescopes are sure to meet or exceed even the most discriminating imager or observers expectations.

The iOptron Photron 16″ Truss-Tube Ritchey-Chrétien was built to facilitate today’s astro imager in capturing the data necessary to create spectacular edge to edge sharp astronomy images.
