ASA UWF300 f1.3 Ultra Wide Field telescope

One of the fastest telescopes of the world!

The UWF300 f1.3. telescope offers a groundbreaking optical design and is ideal for short exposure, high SNR wide field surveys. The main mirror works with absolute encoder feedback and can be collimated fully electronic for an easy and fast remote collimation.

This very fast 300mm telescope is also available as a package in combination with a ASA DDM100 Direct Drive mount!

UWF300 Optical Layout

The UWF300 uses a prime focus configuration. The main mirror is a high order asphere and in the prime focus we use a 5 Lens corrector to correct any field aberrations in a wavelength range from 400nm to 700nm.

With the ultra short focal length and wide field it is the ideal telescope for fast sky surveys searching for brighter objects. The resolution with modern small pixel CMOS is nevertheless surprisingly high even with such a short focal length. It can also be arranged in arrays on our DDM mounts.
