ASA H400 f2.4
Lightweight and compact.
The H400 f2.4 astrograph is the ideal platform for widefield imaging and all-sky surveys. The H400 features a 5-inch corrector and motorized focusing with absolute encoders. The H400 ensures precise focus and high-resolution data acquisition of the night sky – in the shortest possible time! Fits perfectly with the ASA Direct Drive mounts.
The H400 was selected as the instrument of choice for the Super Wasp II Exo-planet program, a consortium of universities and space agencies including: Geneva University, Leicester University, Queens University Belfast, the University of Warwick, the German Aerospace Center DLR, and the GOTO project.
This very fast 400mm telescope is also available as a package in combination with a ASA DDM100 Direct Drive mount!

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.
