Which CPC Deluxe HD powered by PrimaLuceLab is right for you: 8", 9.25" or 11"?
Which CPC Deluxe HD powered by PrimaLuceLab is right for you: 8", 9.25" or 11"?The CPC Deluxe HD powered by PrimaLuceLab telescopes are available in three apertures: 8″, 9.25″ and 11″. At first sight they look like the same instrument in three sizes, and in terms of capability they are: same aplanatic Schmidt-Cassegrain optical design at f/10, same computerized alt-azimuth fork mount, same ARCO field de-rotator, same control through PLAY. What changes is aperture, weight, optical performance, back focus and zenith clearance, focusing solution, and price. Some of these differences are obvious, others are not, and one of them is almost never discussed. In this article we go through the numbers you need to choose.
ASTRO-RES Observatory Station installed at Atlar Innovation Space Center, Portugal
ASTRO-RES Observatory Station installed at Atlar Innovation Space Center, PortugalWe installed a new ASTRO-RES Observatory Station in Portugal, at the Atlar Innovation Space Center. The station uses a Celestron RASA14 optical tube on a 10Micron AZ2500 DDS mount set in equatorial mode with a special EQ column, and an SBIG Aluma AC4040 cooled camera. Everything is protected by our OUTPOST 3M dome and remotely controlled thanks to the EAGLE6 XTM computer, with SESTO SENSO 3 SC robotic focuser, GIOTTO430 flat field generator and ALTO-3 telescope cover motor. The station works for astronomical research and for Space Situational Awareness (SSA). This is why we selected a fast and wide field optical system, a very precise mount and a large format cooled camera.
CPC Deluxe HD powered by PrimaLuceLab is easier than a do-it-yourself setup, and more open than a point-and-shoot device
CPC Deluxe HD powered by PrimaLuceLab is easier than a do-it-yourself setup, and more open than a point-and-shoot deviceThe CPC Deluxe HD powered by PrimaLuceLab is often compared to two very different kinds of products: smart telescopes and do-it-yourself personalized telescopes. It is neither. It is a third category, built specifically to combine the strengths of a fully assembled, pre-tested system with the real astronomical performance and control that only a proper telescope, mount, and accessory chain can give you. Before considering a purchase, it’s important to understand exactly where this system sits, and where its limits are.
