NEW, REDESIGNED 14.5" TRUSS TELESCOPE
| When
we redesigned our 14.5" telescope, we had only one thought in mind --
make it as easy as possible for the owner to transport, set up and
observe with this scope. |
To
accomplish this, we trimmed a few inches off here and there so it would
disassemble into the smallest package possible. This, combined
with the removable mirror and cell, means this scope will fit into
almost all vehicles, take up very little storage space, and can be
easily handled by smaller people or those afflicted with back
problems. The heaviest component, the mirror and cell, is only 33
pounds and anyone 5'4" tall can use the scope flat-footed in most
viewing positions, or 5'7" for zenith viewing.
|
We
then incorporated the popular feature that allows you the option of
leaving the trusses and secondary cage assembled as one unit.
Only four hand knobs will split the scope into two pieces. This
is ideal for those looking for a scope to quickly set up in their
backyard for impromptu observing sessions. A couple of minutes is
all it takes!
|
|
Also,
because this scope is so easy to transport and set up, we expect them
to see a lot of use. Therefore, we are coating the truss tubes
with a rubberized armor coating to further protect them.
And
all of this is in a 14.5" f/4.3 telescope. A scope large enough
to give stunning views of deep sky images including far off galaxies
and the elusive Horse Head Nebula, with proper filtration. AND, this
scope is large enough to accommodate our optional Sky Tracker
Goto-Then-Track drive system!
