Jaw-Dropping Optics!
Advanced Dobsonian Telescopes
R-C Astrographs
ED Refractors from the 66mm Doublet to the 111mm Triplet
Despite
its large aperture, the 16" Astro-Tech Dobsonian is easy to get to your
favorite observing site, whether that be your own back yard or a dark
sky site miles out of town. Unlike a bulky Sonotube or metal tube Dobs,
you don’t need a van or small truck to transport this big 16" scope to
the dark sky sites it needs to perform at its best.
The 16" Astro-Tech breaks down into a few
compact components that fit into virtually any car trunk or into the
back seat of just about any compact car. It weighs
only 134 pounds fully assembled. Assemble the AT16D in just a few
minutes, with no tools needed,
and you’re ready for an evening of fascinating viewing at your favorite
dark sky location.

Optics
so good, despite
their low price, that you’ll swear these ED refractors are an
apochromat. Astronomy magazine called the Astro-Tech AT66ED “a
product everyone should own.”
Ritchey-Chrétien astrographs
The 94"
aperture Hubble Space Telescope uses Ritchey-Chrétien optics to take
stunning deep space pictures. So do the 6" and 8" Astro-Tech RC's, but
at only a tiny fraction the Hubble's cost . . . Up until now, the
coma-free performance of a true Ritchey-Chrétien optical system came
only in large apertures that typically started at well over $10,000 –
putting true R-C optics out of the reach of most astrophotographers. So
Astro-Tech partnered with the best-known optical shop in Taiwan to
produce a full line of top-quality true Ritchey-Chrétien astrographs at
prices that most astrophotographers can afford. It really is possible to
produce a true Ritchey-Chrétien that you don’t have to be a millionaire
to own. Astro-Tech has proved it with the imaging scopes below.
