iOptron Photron 14" Truss Tube Ritchey-Cretien Telescope with 3" Dual Speed Crayford Focuser, OTA Only

Become an explorer of the cosmos with the Photron 14" Truss Tube Ritchey-Cretien Telescope, a sophisticated addition to the renowned Photon line of astrograph telescopes. This model, expertly crafted by the reputable brand iOptron, is designed with the modern astro-imager in mind, delivering sharp, clear images from edge to edge.

This robust telescope features a large 14-inch aperture, allowing for an influx of light and enhancing visibility when observing celestial objects. Its high-quality, low thermal expansion quartz primary and secondary mirrors are coated with highly reflective dielectric materials, maximizing the light reaching your eyepiece or imaging device.

The Photron 14" Truss Tube Ritchey-Cretien Telescope stands out with its RC optical design, which ensures coma, spherical, and chromatic aberration-free results. This makes it perfect for both color and monochrome imaging. The fixed position primary mirror eliminates image shift that can occur with other telescope designs, ensuring a steady, clear view of the night sky.

This durable telescope comes equipped with a 3" dual-speed linear bearing Crayford focuser, which can accommodate our optional ASCOM compliant electronic focus control. Three focuser extension rings are included, providing a solid, "flex-free" extension to adjust any unneeded back focus.

The sturdy backbone of this telescope is made up of strong, lightweight carbon fiber truss supports. These hold the optics firmly in place while keeping the weight to a minimum. The open-air design of the truss tube models ensures rapid cooling, reducing the "wait time" before use.

The Photron 14" Truss Tube Ritchey-Cretien Telescope by iOptron is sure to meet or exceed the expectations of even the most discerning astro-imagers or observers. Experience the universe in high-definition with this sophisticated, high-quality telescope.
