The Sky-Watcher Honders Advanced Catadioptric HAC125DX Minigraph represents the pinnacle of compact and high-performance extremely fast wide field astrograph design. This innovative optical gem renders exceptional image quality for deep sky enthusiasts with its blazing fast f/2 focal ratio! This in turn, enables capturing images with a 5x faster speed than more run of the mill f/4.9 optics, thus lessening exposure times.

At the heart of its design is the Honders Advanced Catadioptric optical system, which merges hybrid refractive and reflective specifications and mechanics. This combination maximizes the efficiency of the glass, allowing the HAC125DX to achieve incredible sharpness, speed, and lightness not typically obtainable in other optical designs. It stands out as the most advanced and compact catadioptric mini-astrograph (or "minigraph") on the market.

Compared to its predecessor, the original HAC125, the HAC125DX features an enhanced rear focusing mechanism on the primary mirror. This design upgrade accommodates a wider range of cameras and simplifies the focusing process. It also includes a 16mm image circle, making it a perfect match for high-performance cameras like the IMX533 and IMX585 sensors. Despite its compact size with a measuring only of 15.7" long, the HAC125DX provides a powerful imaging platform suitable for both novice and experienced astrophotographers.

Designed with portability in mind and a weight of only 8.4 lbs, the HAC125DX is the ultimate "grab-and-go" astrograph. Its fast optics and compact form make it incredibly easy to set up and take on imaging sessions on the fly.
