For the <strong>full format<\/strong>In order to obtain a perfectly flat field, we recommend the use of an RC corrector. With the <strong>CCD47 reducer 0.67\u00d7<\/strong>the focal length is reduced from 2000 mm to around 1340 mm, and the f\/8 ratio to <strong>f\/5,36<\/strong>reducing exposure time by more than half, while widening the field of view.<\/p>\n<h3>Why a carbon truss tube?<\/h3>\n<p>The weight reduction is minimal (~500 g), but the <strong>focus stability<\/strong> temperature variations is incomparable. The carbon has virtually zero expansion, guaranteeing long, refocus-free sessions. The truss structure maintains collimation perfectly, whatever the position of the telescope, while facilitating ventilation.<\/p>\n<h3>The MONORAIL 3\u2033 focuser<\/h3>\n<p>An evolution of the classic Crayford, the <strong>Monorail 3\u2033<\/strong> is based on a solid stainless steel slide, preventing tilt even with heavy optical trains.
