Ritchey-Chretien Telescopes

Optical tubes based upon the Ritchey Chretien design are known very well for their successfull astrophotography, and the 10" optical tube by Astro-Tech is no different! What is different is the price! This optical tube is boosting quality while saving you approximately $4,000! Astro-Tech has delivered top quality Ritchey Chretien optical tube astrograph for an affordable price! Some of the optical enhancements the observer gets when purchasing this optical tube include quartz mirrors, dielectric mirror coatings, and many more! Sky & Telescope magazine named this one of their "Hot Products" in 2010!

Ritchey Chretien astrograph telescopes are exclusively used in many professional fields, including the HST. Astro-Tech has designed a 6" f/9 Astrograph that is based upon this design to the amateur astronomer at affordable prices. Due to its weight of 12.9 pounds and a supplied Vixen style dovetail, this astrograph is primarily compatible with virtually any equatorial mount, so there is no need to buy an additional mount specific for this scope.

A telescope with high quality optics is key to great observing. However, a high quality telescope priced reasonably is less common. The Astro-Tech 8" Ritchey Chretien is a fabulous optical tube with an excellent reputation for being astrophotography friendly. The telescope features internal optics such as a carbon fiber external body, quartz mirrors, dielectric mirror coatings, and two dovetail mounting rails.
