TS-Photon 203 mm - f/3.94 - Advanced Newtonian with Carbon Tube

The powerful Newtonian with the carbon tube is optimized for astrophotography and offers very good speed for short exposure times thanks to the focal ratio of f/3.94. The generous back focus allows the connection of suitable coma correctors for very good field correction. We particularly recommend the TS GPU "Superflat" corrector. This turns the 8" Photon into a very good astrograph. Of course, the Photon is also suitable for observing.

The advantages of the 8" TS Photon Newtonian:

Fast, high-quality parabolic primary mirror for very good contrast and sharpness

Improved 2" MONORAIL focuser with metal base and 1:10 speed reduction (Gen. 2)

Massive secondary mirror spider struts, twisting is no longer possible, which facilitates collimation (Gen. 2)

90 mm working distance from the 2" receptacle of the focuser, so that all common correctors can be used

Brighter image due to forced mirroring on primary and secondary mirror

Primary mirror cell and secondary mirror cell are adjustable and of course made of metal

Astrophotography with the TS-Photon 8" f/3.94 Newtonian:
Only a good coma corrector turns the Newtonian into a real astrograph. Our recommendation is the TSGPU "Superflat" corrector, which seems to have been made for this telescope. It will offer you very high sharpness in the entire field. The illumination is very good up to APS-C format. Correction is even given up to full-frame format. Of course, we always recommend a FLAT for even brightness distribution. Suitable flat field generators are of course available from us. The working distance from the M48 thread of the GPU is 55 mm, making it suitable for all common cameras.
