Hyperbolic Newtonian reflector with 150mm aperture and a very fast F2.8 focal ratio.Aluminum tube version.
The 15028HNT-AL is a hyperbolic Newtonian reflector with a 150mm aperture and a fast F2.8 focal ratio.
15028HNT-AL supports a 44mm full-frame image circle, and the star performance is great.
The primary mirror is made of Pyrex-alike glass PZ33， with a coefficient of thermal expansion lower than that of conventional optical glass. Both the primary and secondary mirrors are coated with enhanced aluminum reflective coating, guaranteeing a light reflectivity exceeding 96% across the visible spectrum.The diameter of the secondary mirror minor axis is 70mm, enabling sufficient illumination for full-frame imaging. The corrector in the focuser adopts a triplet lens design, one of which is an ED glass, enhancing the power in aberration correction.
15028HNT-AL further enhances the structure stability of the optical axis of the primary mirror, and there are three sets of adjustment screws at the bottom of the lens tube for adjusting the angle of the primary mirror.
15028HNT-AL improves the bracket structure of the secondary mirror to make it more stable. The secondary mirror bracket is CNC machined， integrated manufacturing with no misalignment, which ensures beautiful diffraction spikes during astrophotography.
There is a finder base on the side of the lens tube, which provides additional mounting positions for finder scope or other astronomical accessories.
15028HNT-AL ‘s tube ring is sturdy and durable. Enlarged hand screws allow users to open and close the tube ring without additional tools.
15028HNT-AL's focuser is a dual-speed rack-and-pinion large rigid focuser, which ensures a 2cm focusing travel as much as possible within the structural limitations and can be compatible with most motorized focusers. The front of the focuser is designed with a camera rotator which can rotate the focuser as a whole, the focuser has a built-in triplet corrector. The structure of the focuser is very stable and can carry 3kg.
The back focus of 15028HNT-AL is standard 55mm (from the M48 thread).
*The 15028HNT-AL focuser is shipped in a locked condition. Users should be sure to loosen the locking screws before initial use to avoid damage to the part.
Standard Losmandy-style 200mm dovetail plate and 200mm handle bar.
15028HNT-AL is all-metal, with an aluminum lens tube and CNC machined parts.
