Description

The Photron line of iOptron Ritchey-Cretien design telescopes feature low thermal expansion quartz primary and secondary mirrors with ninety-nine percent reflective dielectric coatings. The RC optical design delivers coma, spherical, and chromatic aberration free results that is perfect for color or monochrome imaging. A fixed position primary mirror eliminates image shift that occurs from focusing with other telescope designs. The iOptron RC6 comes with a 2" dual-speed linear-bearing Crayford focuser. Three focuser extension rings are provided for a “flex-free” solid extension as a means to take up any unneeded back focus. Its steel tube is equipped with knife edge baffles to diminish contrast reducing stray light, improving the instrument in both visual and imaging uses. The RC8 model comes with top and bottom dovetail plates adding rigidity to the tube while providing attachment points for the mount and other accessories to be used.

Ellie T. ★★★★★

Was setting up for a night of astrophotography and the quartz optics held focus perfectly even as the temperature dropped. The ninety-nine percent reflective coatings really make faint nebula pop in the subs. First light was a breeze with this OTA.

Grace ★★★★★

The quartz mirrors held their figure perfectly even after a two-hour cool-down, and the dielectric coatings made Jupiter's bands pop with incredible contrast. First light was a breeze with this OTA—just needed a quick collimation check out of the box.

Timothy X. ★★★★★

Waited months for clear skies to finally put this OTA through its paces, and the quartz mirrors held collimation perfectly after a bumpy car ride to my dark site. The dielectric coatings pull out faint spiral structure in galaxies that my old scope just washed out.
