TSPhoton 564

This newtonian telescope, from TS optik in Germany, is a 150mm lens, with a focal length of 600mm, designed to be a F4 fast system.

I have opted for a corrector, which reduces the focal length down 564mm and  which is blazing fast at F3.7. 

With this corrector on, the flat part of the field of view, clips the sensor. this means it i need to crop the final image, to remove about 10% of the outer part of the field of view.

With a cooled mono camera, the broadband filters (RGB) are worst affected. However the narrowband filters are very well corrected, so this is a dream narrowband  setup as it is light and mobile, fast light collection, and a very sensitive 8K mono cool camera.
