Description
Professional-scale true RC imaging begins with the Officina Stellare RC 800/6400 Pro RC SGA Ritchey-Chretien OTA, an 800 mm optical tube with a 6400 mm focal length and listed f/8 optical ratio. Its synthetic quartz mirror substrates, carbon-fiber truss, aerospace aluminum rings, dual Losmandy rails, electronic temperature-compensated focusing, fixed mirror cell, thermal extraction fans, and protective shroud support an observatory system where thermal stability and mechanical precision are central operating requirements.
The 255 kg optical assembly requires a purpose-built pier, mount, camera system, guider, power infrastructure, and controlled access, while the synthetic quartz configuration is intended to reduce thermal geometry changes during continuous survey operation. The telescope should be collimated and aligned after installation, and all structural, optical, electrical, and thermal systems should be checked before long-exposure imaging begins.
Key Features of Officina Stellare RC 800/6400 Pro RC SGA Ritchey-Chretien OTA
This ultra-large true RC optical tube combines an 800 mm aperture with a 6400 mm focal length, f/8 optical ratio, synthetic quartz substrates, hyperbolic mirrors, 96% reflective coatings, carbon-fiber truss, aerospace aluminum rings, electronic focus, thermal fans, dual Losmandy rails, and protective shroud.
- 800 mm true Ritchey-Chrétien optical system
- 6400 mm focal length with listed f/8 optical ratio
- Synthetic quartz low-expansion mirror substrates
- Hyperbolic primary and secondary mirrors
