Focusing and camera rotation
A CNC-machined hybrid rack-and-pinion linear-power focuser provides 11:1 fine adjustment and a 2.75-inch indexed drawtube. The main focuser is fixed, while the drawtube adapter rotates through 360° for framing.
Tube, mounting and transport
The aluminium tube is internally baffled and uses a fixed dew shield. CNC aluminium mounting ring(s), a carrying handle and a 45 mm-wide dovetail are supplied. The OTA weighs 2.6 kg and measures 340 mm.
Field correction and accessories
A matched three-element 1.0× M48 field flattener is included for imaging at f/6. A three-element 0.75× M48 reducer/flattener is optional for f/4.5 imaging. The manufacturer lists a 43.2 mm image height. A soft carrying case is supplied. Eyepiece, diagonal and finderscope are not included.
The product prose explicitly includes the 1× flattener, while the specification line mistakenly calls it optional. Prose identifies FCD100 glass; abbreviated FC100 in the list is treated as a typographical error.
