Description
High-resolution wide-field imaging is the purpose of the Officina Stellare RiFast 300/1140 SGC OTA, a 300 mm Riccardi-Fast astrograph with a 1140 mm focal length and listed f/3.8 optical ratio. Its aspherical primary mirror, multi-element sub-aperture corrector cluster, synthetic quartz foundation, carbon truss, dual Losmandy rails, electronic temperature-compensated focus, integrated thermal fans, fixed mirror structure, and protective shroud support specialized deep-sky imaging.
The SGC configuration requires a suitable high-capacity mount, camera, guide system, power infrastructure, and control hardware, while its fast optical format is intended for broad deep-sky fields and extended targets. The carbon structure, thermal extraction, focus system, and optical alignment should be checked after installation or transport, with camera spacing and calibration matched to the selected imaging sensor.

Fast Deep-Sky Imaging Configuration
The supplied application focuses on wide-field deep-sky astrophotography of nebulae, galaxies, clusters, and other extended targets, with the f/3.8 optical system supporting shorter exposure workflows while final camera compatibility, field correction, focus, guiding, thermal performance, calibration, and image quality depend on the complete imaging setup.
Why Choose Officina Stellare RiFast 300/1140 SGC OTA
The SGC configuration is relevant when a fast 300 mm astrograph needs synthetic quartz thermal behavior, carbon structural support, electronic focusing, multi-element correction, dual Losmandy mounting, active thermal extraction, and an optical format suited to broad deep-sky imaging with compatible professional equipment.
- 300 mm aperture with fast f/3.8 optical design
- Synthetic quartz foundation for thermal stability
- Electronic focus, carbon truss, rails, cooling, and shroud included
Officina Stellare 2-Year Limited Warranty
The supplied product information lists a 2-year limited warranty for this astrograph, and the applicable regional warranty terms, optical coverage, electronic focus coverage, thermal system coverage, structural coverage, registration requirements, and authorized service process should be confirmed with Officina Stellare or its authorized distributor before building the complete imaging system.
