14 INCHES NEWTONIAN TELESCOPE





14 inches (356 mm) Newtonian telescope with focal length of 1600 mm – Orion Optics UK VX14, f/4.6 and an equatorial mount - Celestron CGE PRO. The secondary mirror of the telescope is 75 mm.

The telescope is equipped with STL-11000M Santa Barbara Instrument Group (SBIG) CCD camera with AI-11002M CCD detector. The total number of pixels is 11 000 000, the pixel array is 4008 x 2672 pixels, and the pixel size is 9x9 microns. The physical dimensions of the detector are 36 mm x 24.7 mm. The peak quantum efficiency is 50% in blue light. Standard Bessel filters UBVRI (thickness - 5 mm) are also available.

The field of view with the STL-11000M CCD camera is 77 х 52 arcmin2.
