Details
The ProRC scope has the maximum possible level of light transmission to focal plane (no lenses absorption/reflection/scattering along light path). These performances make the RC, in most of the cases, the "perfect" scope for professionals, because they are usually interested in working with a visual wavelength range, with max performance over relatively small field of view.
Note: no focuser included with the telescope, focuser has to be ordered separately.

Ritchey-Chretien telescopes were, just a few years ago, very expensive but now, especially the models produced by GSO, are very affordable and allow any amateur astronomer to own and use a Ritchey-Chretien telescope. Unfortunately these telescopes comes standard with a focuser that has not the load capacity requested for the heavy cameras and accessories commonly used in deep-sky astrophotography: let's see how you can use ESATTO as a new and better focuser for Ritchey-Chretien.
