Agreement with Sharptstar, improvement of future delivery quality

February 28th, 2020 by Wolfi

Improvement in delivery quality of the TS86SDQ and TSAPO100Q

Both telescopes will be completely redesigned by Sharpstar for Telescope Service with the goal of improving the performance of optics in the field and also photographic star imaging. In order to achieve these goals for the production models as well, we have agreed the following steps with Sharpstar, in addition to redesigning the optics and frame:

Each optic is individually checked by the supplier and optimally collimated on the optical bench.

Every telescope comes with a manufacturing log.

Each telescope is also checked and if necessary readjusted during telescope service on the optical bench.

This way you get the guarantee that you will have fun with your telescope from the beginning :]

Atik takes off with CMOS cameras

February 1st, 2020 by Wolfi

New exciting astro cameras from ATIK with CMOS technology.

Atik has recognized the signs of the times and offers the astrophotographer a good selection of modern CMOS peltier cooled cameras with high-quality sensors. Despite the new technology, the cameras can be operated with the proven ATIK software. The well-known reliability and ease of use that characterise ATIK cameras also applies to the new CMOS series. ATIK always offers the new cameras in a MONO and a COLOR version.

The sales launch of the new cameras is planned for mid-May.

New Cameras from ZWO

November 2nd, 2019 by Wolfi

ZWO extends its lead with new Astro cameras.

While other manufacturers are still considering switching from CCD to CMOS, ZWO is already two steps ahead and underpins its dominant position in the market with new exciting models. Teleskop-Service, as a ZWO dealer, is of course one of the front runners.

The new cameras will be delivered in January, we gladly accept advance orders, we expect a very high demand and have therefore ordered in good quantity.

ZWO has four new cameras that equalize the last advantage of CCD cameras. The new cameras convince with 14Bit or 16Bit data depth. This means that stars no longer burn out so quickly and the images achieve a stronger dynamic. Due to the modern "Back-Illumination" technology the cameras are much more sensitive than conventional CCD cameras.

ASI 6200 Pro - Full Frame Cameras (Mono/Color)

With these two cameras ZWO offers two outstanding solutions for astrophotography with large sensors.

Sony IMX 455 Full Format Sensor

16 bit ADC - extreme dynamic range

High sensitivity

Powerful Peltier cooling

high resolution by 3.78µm pixel

ASI 2600 Pro - APS-C Format Color Camera
This camera has a similar sensor format to a DSLR with 28.6mm sensor diameter. But in contrast to a DSLR, this camera has much better values.

Sony IMX 471 Back Illuminated Sensor

16 bit ADC - extreme dynamic range

High sensitivity

Powerful Peltier cooling

high resolution through 3.76µm pixel

ASI 533 Pro - Color Camera with 16mm Sensor Diameter

This camera has a sensational price-performance ratio and is the entry into the semi-professional camera class. The square sensor (11.3 x 11.3mm) makes optimal use of the telescope´s correction. Many telescopes do not even require a corrector.

ASI 183GT and ASI 1600GT - MONO cameras with built-in 5-pos. filter wheel

With these two cameras ZWO turns to the astrophotographers, who like to work with SW cameras and want to take false color pictures or L-RGB pictures. ZWO has installed probably the most exciting MONO sensors on the market, the sensor of the ASI 1600 and the sensor of the ASI 183 in this new housing. Thus the camera is even more compact and lighter than the combination of camera and filter wheel.
