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 3-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 300 mm Losmandy-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.
