ASA AZ2000 f6 f2
The extension of evolution of high-end telescope systems with 2.0m aperture.
Beyond mirror sizes of 2.0m, the AZ2000 is a fully integrated Alt-Az observatory telescope system. The ASA AZ 2000 is equipped with quartz glass optics from ASA. All ASA optics guarantee diffraction limited performance and best micro roughness numbers even under the most perfect earthbound astronomical seeing conditions while maintaining a fast f-ratio primary mirror design leading to less obstruction, higher contrast and a more compact system reducing the size and cost of your dome infrastructure.
2000mm f2 f6 Ritchey-Chrétien Nasmyth design with absolute encoder secondary mirror focusing unit, and configurable with up to 4 Nasmyth ports.

RC & CDK Comparison
In our comparison, we compare our corrected RC to a CDK (corrected Dall-Kirkham):
1. The ASA RC primary mirrors are faster than a CDK and therefore the OTA is significantly shorter.
2. The CDK design requires a larger secondary for a given aperture (RC offers higher contrast).
3. ASA’s design is more versatile than the CDK where the corrective optics must be used.

Technical Details
Our closed loop direct drive systems, sensor technology and observatory safety modules play a major role in achieving optimum results. All moving accessory components are equipped with high-resolution encoders and closed-loop feedback systems. We provide event timer modules, and customer updatable firmware.
