UWF600_2+ - Datasheet

ASA UWF600_2+ + DDM200 + pier


One of the fastest telescopes of the world! The UWF600_2+ package features two super-fast 600mm f1.7 UWF OTAs and our precision ASA DDM200 mount in Twin Mode. It is the perfect system for fully automated high-end imaging operation. 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. This system is ideal for short exposure, high SNR wide field surveys.
