Orion UK 200 mm f/4.5 IDEAL Newtonian OTA - 1/6 lambda pv

Orion UK 200 mm f/4.5 IDEAL Newtonian, OTA

Ideal 8 and Ideal 8L Newtonians are slightly larger than the Ideal 6 and Ideal 6L models. To give you some idea of by how much, the following description and figures will explain in detail for you.

The brightness of an object in a telescope depends on the size of the main mirror, i.e. how much light it collects and sends to your eye, or camera. This is calculated based on the area of the mirror. In the case of the Ideal 8 and Ideal 8L telescopes, they both have over 40% brighter images than the Ideal 6 and Ideal 6L models. To add to that, the detail in a telescope´s image is controlled by the diameter, or aperture of the mirror. The Ideal 8 and Ideal L have mirrors 33% larger than the Ideal 6 and Ideal 6L. These two features give you not only a much brighter image but also, a much more detailed image allowing you to use higher magnifications on the telescope.

The Ideal 8 is a telescope of f/4.5 which, with the addition of a camera adaptor and camera, can give you some spectacular photographic performance, primarily on Deep Sky objects. The Ideal 8L can also provide you with stunning visual images at higher magnifications and, be extremely useful in photographing the planets and the Moon.

IDEAL Newtonian telescopes
Orion Optics UK has designed the IDEAL range to be the best telescope you can buy for the money on the market, New features include new fully CNC machined multi 9 point cell design to increase strength and stability for the new smoother optics they have ever produced. A new method has been designed and tested which has revolutionised the polishing of optics to increase your contrast and detail of every subject you look at through the telescopes. A all new fully designed, machined and tested in house 2" rack pinion (R+P) Eris focuser with smooth lock to hold your eyepieces perfectly central in your telescope.

A proven world standard Orion Optics has introduced over 20 years ago is the Zygo report of ever Telescope optic, the IDEAL range continues this standard.

All IDEAL models are fitted with a straight 50 mm finder, a quality 2" R+P focuser and 1.25" (31.7 mm) smooth lock adaptor. An aluminium tube allows the IDEAL telescopes to be fitted to mounts easily because of the lower weight involved. Precision, fan cooled, 9 multi point suspension mirror cell gives perfect support and cooling to the main mirror allowing the accuracy of the mirror to be maintained when cooling and controlling the weight distribution with the nylon support points.

Probably the best telescope range which will give some of the best images possible in a serious introductory telescope. A must for any amateur astronomer whether you´re starting out in the hobby or a seasoned enthusiast.
