ASA UWF600 + DDM200 + wedge
One of the fastest telescopes of the world!
The UWF600_2 combines the super-fast 600mm f1.7 UWF OTA with our heavy-duty DDM200 mount. This large aperture system is ideal for short exposure, high SNR wide field surveys.
The main mirror and the corrector can be collimated fully electronic to allow an easy and fast remote collimation. The focuser works with absolute encoder feedback.
It can be optionally upgraded with a second optical tube assembly when used in Twin Mode. Features an aspherical optic design.
