A 609 mm, f/6.8 optical tube for astrophotography and visual observing. Its four air-spaced elements include ED glass for colour correction. The native flat field covers a 44 mm image circle without a separate flattener.
Focus and framing
The 3-inch rack-and-pinion focuser has 1:10 fine adjustment. A 360° rear rotator sets camera orientation. ZWO specifies an imaging focus range of 45–75 mm from M54–M48 shoulder; this is a usable focusing range, rather than a fixed reducer-spacing requirement.
Camera connections
M48 × 0.75 and M54 × 0.75 interfaces accommodate imaging trains. The photographic extension accepts a 2-inch threaded filter. Eyepiece interfaces support visual use.
Handling and installation
A retractable dew shield shortens the tube for transport. Detachable rings support mounting. Body weight is 3.92 kg; the standard configuration with handle, rings and dovetail weighs 4.52 kg.
These specifications describe the telescope component only. Native flat field design does not require an added flattener; the imaging train must still fit the available focus travel and interface. Package mount/tripod specifications are not inferred from telescope data.
