This telescope is an interesting alternative to the most expensive models by top brands in the world and it is made to high quality standards and optimally suited for mobile astrophotography. Due to the retractable dew shield, the TS-Optics 71SDQ becomes an ideal travel telescope with less than 500 mm length with retracted dew shield. The result image is perfect and designed even for full-frame size sensors. It includes 50,8mm Crayford focuser with 1:10 fine focus knob, SESTO SENSO 2 robotic focusing motor and PLUS support rings.
This special version of the TS-Optics 71SDQ 71mm f/6.3 four-element apochromatic refractor adds SESTO SENSO 2 - The highly accurate, advanced, vibration free, robotic focusing motor for your telescope! Connect it to the USB port of your EAGLE or Windows® computer to electronically control focus while still allowing you to manually move your focuser by hand if needed. If you don’t want to focus using a computer, you can connect wirelessly from any smartphone or tablet using the integrated Virtual HandPad via the built-in Wifi network in the SESTO SENSO 2! Thanks to the Self Centering Clamp technology (SCC), SESTO SENSO 2 can be installed on most focusers without the need of external brackets. The supplied FOCUS Manager software and ASCOM driver allow easy configuration of the many advanced features of SESTO SENSO 2. Thanks to the precisely controlled motor with integrated electronics, SESTO SENSO 2 achieves incredible precision of just 0.7 microns. And you can also expand SESTO SENSO 2 features by adding the ARCO robotic camera rotator!
