ProRC 800

ProRC 800

The ProRC scope is completely free from chromatic aberration, and the performance is the same at any wavelength; the only limit is the coating light reflectivity. Aluminum, silver or gold coatings are available, for a working bandwidth that can easily cover the 350-5000 nm interval.

The ProRC scope has the maximum possible level of light transmission to focal plane (no lenses absorption/reflection/scattering along light path).

These performances make the RC, in most of the cases, the "perfect" scope for professionals, because they are usually interested in working with a visual wavelength range, with max performance over relatively small field of view.

Standard configuration: Low expansion glass optical set, carbon/aluminum truss tube design, splitted light baffle, four support dovetails, three ventilation fans and mirrors heaters with manual control, shroud and cap covers. Primary cell detachable for an easy cleaning of mirror. AVAILABLE ALSO IN FULL CARBON, ATHERMIC LIGHTWEIGHT TRUSS TUBE, NEAR ZERO EXPANSION CERAMIC GLASS.

Optional accessories: Flattener, Riccardi Triplet reducer 0.75x, OSBus Advanced Telescope controller, Motorized secondary mirror focuser (1 motor, Motorized secondary mirror focuser and collimation (3 motors, shutters system, custom adapters, special custom optical design and manufacture. Aerospace and military special materials, coating, solutions and requirements are available.
