New Truss Tube RCT

Ian King, 24 September, 2009

Here are some pictures of the prototype 10" F9 Truss Tube RCT we have been working on.

The scope features optics by Toscano and a truss available in Aluminium 6061 or Carbon Fibre manufactured by precision CNC in Bari Italy.

Focussing is by stepper motor controlled Secondary mirror movement. There is no rear focuser, (PC Control also)allowing us to fix the back focus and to accomodate the heaviest of CCD cameras with no problems.

The prototype is currently undergoing testing.
