Native imaging and visual use
Field correction is built into the telescope, so native photography does not need a separate flattener or a single mandatory flattener spacing. Attach the camera within the connection limits and focus. The table gives maximum and minimum connection distances for each rear adapter and focuser position. The 2-inch and 1.25-inch visual interfaces also accommodate observing accessories.
Focus, framing and filters
The 2.4-inch rack-and-pinion focuser provides coarse and 1:10 fine adjustment, plus a graduated 360° rotator. The photographic extension assembly offers M54×0.75 and M48×0.75 connections and an internal 2-inch filter thread.
Mounting and transport
Two finder bases and a finder-base slot in the handle provide accessory positions. The telescope includes tube rings and a 230 mm Vixen-style dovetail plate. Its retractable dew shield shortens the transport configuration. Lengths and weights below distinguish the visual and photographic arrangements and the bare OTA from mounting hardware.
Weights follow the technical table: 2.36 kg OTA and 2.86 kg with rings and dovetail. Introductory text instead repeats 2.5/3 kg. Accessory connection limits depend on the stated adapter and focuser position.
