TS Carbonfibre Newtonian 250 mm f/4 with optimized focus position and UNCN2-G2 Crayford FocuserThe UNC series from Teleskop Service are THE alternative to Newtonians from Far-East but also to high-end, high-cost instruments. All that doesn´t mean that You have to come to a compromise with the materials. UNC stands for Universal Newtonian Telescope with Carbonfibre tube.
- Lightweight but stiff carbon tube "Made in Germany"
- Better field illumination by optimized focus position
- Modified primary mirror holder
- UNCN2-G2 2" Crayford focuser with dual speed
- Modified secondary mirror with optimized offset position
Each Carbonfibre tube is a unique piece and handmade. These are customized products and not a chinese mass product. Little issues on the surface are a proof of the handproduction process. Of course these issues do not affect the telescopes optical performance!
A classical Newtonian is superior to Cassegrain and RC systems in some cases:- faster f/ratio for shorter exposure times
- no elaborate and expensive focal reducers necessary
- absolut no color fringing
- open system for quick cool-down times
- no front corrector plate: no dew problems
A main part at the TS UNC Newtonian is the modern UNCN2-G2 Focuser.Although needing only 50 mm back focus, the UNCN2-G2 accepts heavy cameras without tilting. With this focuser, we have been able to optimize the focus position above the tube for maximum illumination.
- high stiffness at very short built
- large back focus of 60 mm - enough for comon correctors and the TS 9 mm Off Axis Guider
- inculudes precise 1:10 dual speed transmission
- upgradable with focus motor
