Wonderful astro photos with a professional telescope
This Cassegrain telescope was created to make better, more beautiful astro photos. Pictures have more contrast and a sharper field of view right up to the edge. It’s no surprise that professional astronomers almost exclusively use this telescope design. Now this technology is affordable for amateurs too. Can you imagine if you too could produce astro photos to a professional standard?
The advantages at a glance:
- Primary mirror with 94% reflection for brighter images than a standard telescope.
- 8 light baffles for more contrast and sharper images.
- Quartz mirror: better imaging whilst the telescope is cooling down. Focus remains stable even over a long evening of photography.
- Crayford focuser with 2” and 1.25” adapters: no mirror shift and greater back focus. For astrophotography: simply attach your SLR camera using the 50mm and 25mm extension connectors supplied.
- Full illumination with APS-C sensors or sensors with up to 30mm diameter
Who is this telescope suitable for?
A Cassegrain telescope is a system for more beautiful astro photos that you can be proud of. Many telescope designs are supposed to do everything from photos to visual observations. But that’s not entirely correct: everyone knows that there is no such thing as an expert on everything. For this reason, this telescope has been created specifically with astrophotographers in mind. We don’t want an average telescope for average photos, but instead a capable tool for astrophotography. For this it is perfect - it will produce first-class images of the night sky for you.
Full illumination for most sensors
The Omegon Cassegrain telescope is a master photographer of the night sky. Attach cameras with sensors up to 30mm diameter and benefit from illumination without vignetting.

Strumento molto versatile e facile nel trasporto lo uso con una eq 3 .osservazioni spettacolari per uno strumento di 154 mm ,Sconsiglio all e persone non pratiche nella collimazione,bisogna fare un po' di pratica.

super télescope! customisable à souhait; d une utilisation orientée pour les astronomes vraiment chevronnés pour toutes ses possibilités. je l utilise en planétaire -c est sa vocation,comme les maksutov et schmidt-cassegrain-sur une vixen porta2,une entretoise de 50mm,un prisme omegon amici en.50,un focuseur helicoidal plus son adaptateur en .31.75;et oculaires 26/34MM en.50;et 20mm,25,9,et un zoom seben 8-24mm plus filtres moon skyglow luminance et cls... en 31.75.un set-up: merveilleux il lui faut évidemment un oeilleton de collimation: un CHESHIRE de 12cm. /le grand modèle/de svbony,pour la collimation à 98/pour cent! facilement...sincèrement:à recommander pour les passionnés de belles optiques!!

I own a lot of telescopes. Probably 20 or so. From large Dobsonians to Apochromatic refractors. I have always wanted a classical cassegrain. For the money this was a great opportunity. I have to say this little scope is a performer. Was collimated pretty good when it arrived but I did decide to tweak it a little for perfection. Fit and finish are great and far exceed the asking price. This scope holds power very well and on a good seeing night will rival a decent refractor. This scope is an F 12 so astrophotography needs guiding and some exposure time but does good as seen in the included photos. About 40 min (ZWO 533camera) on M27 and 10 on M15. Did great photographing Mars (Risingtech 290 camera and 2.5x barlow). Very Pleased!! Wonderful scope!!! Jeff T.

Très bon télescope, juste prévoir renvoie d angle et oculaire. A 4mm la lune est vue de près. Pour la nature, c est la royale quand j aurais trouvé le bon trépied lol. Image aussi nette qu avec ma lunette astronomique, mais beaucoup plus de clarté à 4mm(oculaire), 70 contre 152mm de diamètre, y a pas photo!
