ASA800 Ritchey-Chrétien f6.85 telescope
Astrosysteme Austria
 
ASA800 (DDM500)

The evolution milestone of telescopes.

The ASA800 0.8m is the largest aperture OTA offered from ASA without mount. Perfect fit for the ASA Direct Drive mounts with absolute encoders. As all ASA telescopes the ASA800 is equipped with quartz glass optics from ASA. Our 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.

f6.85/f2.5 full carbon Richey-Chrétien design with absolute encoder secondary mirror focusing unit.

This big 800mm telescope is also available as a package in combination with a ASA DDM500 Direct Drive mount!
