TS 14"-f/8-Ritchey-Chrétien-Telescope Gen. II with carbon fiber primary mirror cell
The large RC is designed for photographic and visual use in observatories. With a length of only 1100 mm, this powerful telescope also has enough space in compact observatories. The RC illuminates about 70 mm of field very well. Without a corrector, you have a good, flat field with a diameter of about 35 mm. You have a pure reflection system, so you can also use the infrared light. For larger sensors or full-frame sensors with high resolution, however, we recommend a suitable corrector to improve the star image towards the edge.

Generation II - Lightweight design
The new generation stands for a reduced dead weight, but above all for better collimation stability. The primary mirror is no longer solid, but is significantly lighter thanks to the honeycomb design, as in professional observatories. This saves weight and also improves the stability of the collimation. The mirror is fixed laterally by 10 support points and supported on the flat underside by 18 computer-optimized support points. This means that the collimation does not change even with larger panning movements. In addition, the glare shield on the primary mirror is also made of carbon to further reduce weight.

Primary mirror cell specially developed for this telescope
The TS RC telescopes are known for their excellent optics. However, the mechanical design of the primary mirror cell has its limits when the telescopes are to be used over a wide temperature range, for example, and high adjustment stability is required over a long period of time.

The TS carbon primary mirror cell meets these requirements:
Base plate of the cell and axial bearing made of CFRP
Mirror supports made of hard plastic with very good sliding friction properties
Encapsulated or self-lubricating special bearings
Stainless steel connecting parts
Aperture ring included
Optimized air flow inside the cell for rapid temperature adjustment


General advantages of TS-Optics RC telescopes at a glance:
Hyperbolic primary mirror and secondary mirror for a large, fully corrected field of view.
Astrophotography with camera sensors up to 30 mm diameter is also possible without a corrector. For larger sensors, for example full frame, Teleskop-Service offers ready-made corrector solutions.
94% enhanced reflectivity on primary and secondary mirror for an even brighter image.
Significantly faster cool-down time due to open design and active primary mirror ventilation.
Internal baffles in the tube for even more contrast.
Large back focus for correctors, reducers or binoviewers
High-quality 3" MONORAIL focuser with M77x0.75 internal thread on the drawtube and M74x0.75 external thread and 2"/1.25" push-in connection.


Astrophotography with the RC telescope
Sensors up to APS-C format can be used without a corrector. The RC is a pure mirror system and can therefore also be used for infrared photography, provided the camera is sensitive to infrared light. If you want to use larger sensors or improve the focal ratio of f/8, we recommend additional correctors. We particularly recommend:
CCD47 2" 0.67x focal length reducer

The corrector improves the focal ratio from f/8 to a fast f/5.36 and significantly shortens the exposure time. It is simply connected via the 2" receptacle of the focuser.
TSRCRED-G2 3" 0.8x focal reducer

This corrector is specially designed for the RC telescopes from GSO and provides optimal results even with full-frame sensors. The focal ratio is improved to f/6.4. The corrector is screwed to the focuser and has a male M78x1 thread on the telescope side. Suitable adapters to the 3" Monorail are available.

Video with information about RC telescopes
On our YouTube account you will find a video about the characteristics of the Ritchey-Chrétien telescopes in general and the features of the GSO RCs in particular, as well as suggestions for accessories:



Collimating the RC telescope
We recommend using the TSRCKOLLI or a collimation telescope to adjust the telescope. These aids are linked in the "Adjustment and cleaning" section.
