Shipping Calculator
The Saxon 250DS Astrophotography Newtonian Reflector Telescope - OTA is great for DSO and planetary imaging.
The saxon 250DS Astrophotography Newtonian Reflector Telescope features a 254mm (10") aperture with 1200mm focal length (f/5) which is great for planetary and DSO imaging and viewing. For the keen astronomer, the dual-speed focuser ensures that you can achieve optimal focus by being able to adjust both a coarse and fine focus 10:1. Compared to standard rack & pinion and crayford focusers, this delivers sharper views and images as you can achieve a better focal point. If you want to go a step further, add in the saxon F5 Newtonian Coma Corrector to capture pin-point stars while reducing coma inherent to newtonian reflectors.
