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.
