Tecnosky RC150 F9 Carbon (GSO Optics)

Tecnosky RC150 F9 Carbon (GSO Optics)

Description

The Tecnosky RC150 F9 Carbon telescope uses GSO optics known for exceptional accuracy and build quality. This Ritchey-Chrétien design, the same type used in the Hubble Space Telescope, delivers a coma-free, flat field ideal for deep-sky imaging.

Its primary concave and secondary convex hyperbolic mirrors made of low-expansion BK7 glass feature 1/12 λ PV accuracy or better and 95 % dielectric reflectivity. The carbon fiber tube is rigid and light, minimizing thermal expansion and keeping focus stable. Computer-optimized baffles eliminate stray light.

The 2" dual-speed (10:1) Crayford focuser offers 41 mm of travel and is compatible with ZWO and QHY EAF focus motors. Included are a 1.25" adapter, M90 extension rings (1" and 2"), Vixen dovetail bar, finder bracket, and dust caps.

For enhanced focusing precision, Tecnosky recommends the Precision L focuser and RC adapter, designed to maximize accuracy and stability. Purchasing both telescope and focuser together entitles you to a 5 % discount. Contact us before ordering to receive your personal coupon code.
