6" F/12 Classical Cassegrain Telescope by GSO |
| Cassegrain telescopes combine the benefits of a Newtonian telescope being a pure reflective system with a short-built design. In terms of optical quality, Cassegrain telescopes are superior to customary Schmidt-Cassegrain systems. Cassegrain telescopes are mainly used for photography of the moon and the planets and for observation of astronomical objects. Thanks to the highly sensitive sensors built into modern astro cameras, even deep-sky photography of nebulae, star clusters and galaxies is possible. |
| |
| The advantages of GSO Cassegrain Telescopes in summary: |
- Large corrected and illuminated image field due to parabolic primary and hyperbolic secondary mirror with less field curvature than with SC telescopes.
- Pure reflection system without Schmidt plate, as a result even Infrared photography becomes possible at full sharpness.
- Significantly quicker temperature adaption than a SC, due to open design.
- Brighter image due to 96% dielectric coating on primary and secondary mirror.
- No shifting, because the primary mirror is fixated
- High-quality 2" Crayford focuser with micro-gear reduction and compression rings for 2" and 1.25" accessories
- 33% obstruction caused by secondary mirror, comparable to SC telescopes.
- Better sharpness on the optical axis due to precise mirror surfaces and the lack of a Schmidt plate
- Less problems from dew: with Schmidt-Cassegrains you get condensation on the front plate, not with a Cassegrain
- Interior baffles for even higher contrast
- Generous backfocus allowing the use of 2" accessories.
- Compact tube with only 500 mm length - can be operated with smaller mounts
- Significantly less expensive than other classical Cassegrain telescopes!

| Cassegrain Optics are versatile Telescopes |
Mobile travel scope:
Take the compact and light telescope with you to your traveling location. It only takes a few seconds to unscrew the focuser, making the Cassegrain even more compact and fitting your hand luggage.
Telescope for observation of Astronomical Objects:
Due to the bright and contrasty image and also because of the large corrected and illuminated image field, the Cassegrain is optimal for observation of astronomical objects. 2" and 1.25" accessories are not a problem. The obstruction by the secondary mirror is only 33%. This is comparable to Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes. As a result of the 96% reflection of primary and secondary mirror the image is significantly brighter. Even the field sharpness is better, because the image field is basically undistorted.
Telescope for Astrophotography:
The Cassegrain is very well suited for photography of the moon and the planets. The visual contrast is very high. Due to interior baffles stray light is effectively suppressed. Planets and tiny moon craters can be seen without the slightest chromatic aberration. Thanks to its micro-gear reduction the Crayford focuser permits precise focusing. When using modern, highly sensitive CMOS cameras, even deep-sky photography becomes possible with the GSO Cassegrain. An additonal correction lens isn´t needed, because the image field is well corrected up to APS-C sensor format. |

| BRESSER EXOS-II GoTo EQ Mounting System |
BRESSER EXOS-2 GoTo Equatorial Mount. Mount, tripod and hand box with computer. This German mount has tracking motors in both axes that follow celestial objects very precisely.
The handbox with GoTo works reliable and controls the mount in every situation.
Precise ball bearings in both axes ensures minimal backlash at all nine possible tracking speeds.
The mount rests on a very tough and rigid steel tripod and can take optical tubes of up to 13 kg. GOTO Stargazing at the push of a button!
The Startracker GoTo System enables beginners to start astronomical observations in just a few minutes, and guides you to objects that are hard to localize through a standard finder scope.
Just push the button and the GoTo System will find planets, nebulae or galaxies for you and position your telescope automatically and precise.
The GoTo System database includes thousands of astronomical objects.
The Messier mount with GoTo System allows you to observe without tedious searching, or image faint objects that are hard to find in a standard finder scope.
The BRESSER StarTracker GoTo systems uses servo motors for both axes and features an ST-4 compatible autoguiding input. Guiding aggressivity can be set on the mount itself.
The menu navigation of the Startracker Handbox is also multilingual and offers the settings of German, English, French, Spanish and Italian. |
