ASA AZ2500 f7 f2
The extension of evolution of high-end telescope systems with 2.5m aperture.
This complete solution represents a fully integrated alt-az observatory system. The AZ 2000, with ASA’s biggest mirror with 2.5m, is equipped with quartz optics from ASA. This guarantees diffraction-limited performance and best micro-roughness values even under the most perfect Earth-based astronomical seeing conditions. With fast focal ratio, the design results in less obstruction, higher contrast, and a more compact system. The size and cost of your dome infrastructure is reduced.
2500mm f7/f2 Ritchey-Chrétien Nasmyth design is equipped with absolute encoder secondary mirror focusing unit and configurable with up to 4 Nasmyth ports.

RC & CDK Comparison
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.
