Quattro 300P — 300/1200 imaging Newtonian

The Quattro 300P is a fast parabolic imaging Newtonian with a nominal 300 mm aperture and 1200 mm native focal length at f/4. Its low-expansion borosilicate primary is intended to reduce sensitivity to changing temperature during an imaging session.

Optical correction

Use a matching f/4 coma corrector to improve off-axis star shapes when imaging. Corrector spacing and camera adapters must follow the specification of the chosen corrector. A reduced focal ratio is not assigned to the native optical tube.

Focusing and structure

A 2-inch dual-speed linear-power focuser supports precise camera focus. The listed finder is 8×50.

Mounting and model details

The manufacturer’s published tube mass is 22.4 kg including rings but excluding finder. The 300P uses rings and a 75 mm-wide mounting bar, with no eyepiece included.
