กล้องดูดาวสะท้อน GSO 10" f/5 Reflector OTA, Dual-speed Crayford Focuser 2" พร้อมตัวแปลง 1.25" adapter GS830
This affordable 250mm (approx. 10") f/5 Newtonian optical tube assembly (OTA) from GSO has fast optics for wide-field views of the night sky. With classic Newtonian optics, this scope is easy to use and comes ready to go out of the box. It includes a dual-speed 2" Crayford-style focuser, dual split-hinged mounting rings, a 8x50mm straight-through finder, and a 13" Vixen/Synta-style red dovetail rail.
Portable, Light Weight, and Economical The GSO 250mm (approx. 10") f/5 Newtonian offers a fast focal ratio that's ideal for observing wide-field views of deep sky objects. The 1250mm focal length makes for a tube length of about 45". With a total weight of only 35lbs 4oz (with all included accessories) this scope is ideal for use with a heavy-duty equatorial mount with a capacity of at least 40-50 lbs. And with a price that's far less than many small ED refractors or Ritchey-Chretien scopes, this OTA offers an economical alternative for imagers and visual observers on a budget who want a larger aperture.
While this scope has a smaller field of view than a faster f/4 Newtonian, it exhibits less coma and field curvature, especially when used for visual observing with long focal-length eyepieces or small cameras. However, serious imagers with larger DSLR or astronomy cameras may wish to consider a GSO f/4 Imaging Newtonian or the GS830-LRN upgraded version of this item since these telescopes have a more robust dual-speed linear-bearing Crayford focuser.
Fast and Precision Optics The precisely figured 10" f/5 primary mirror is made from BK7 optical glass for enhanced thermal stability. BK7 is far superior in thermal characteristics to soda lime float glass - the glass used in consumer products like cookware - that's used in many reflectors in this price range. The mirror is coated with enhanced aluminum to at least 92% reflectivity and coated with a protective layer of SiO2 (quartz) for durability. The primary mirror is mounted in a cell with six external push-pull collimation knobs on the back of the tube, and the center-marked primary makes collimation with a laser a snap.
Focuser and Accessories The solid dual-speed 2" Crayford-style focuser handles nearly any eyepiece or lightweight camera. It also has a tension knob to allow you to secure heavier loads. The ridged focus knobs give you a good feel and grip, even with gloved hands in cold weather. The drawtube of the focuser is engineered to have minimal wear and very little flexure. It offers 40mm of focus travel and includes a focusing scale on the top of the drawtube to make it easy to return to the correct focus position during each observing session.
This OTA comes with a 1.25" eyepiece adapter with a compression ring to match 1.25" eyepieces and accessories, and it includes a 35mm-long 2" extension tube to let you achieve focus with a 1.25" or 2" eyepiece when using the telescope for visual use. It includes a 8x50mm straight-through achromatic finder with non-illuminated crosshair.
Tube and Mounting Rings The tube of this Newtonian is made from rolled steel for good thermal stability and it's capped with end rings of die-cut aluminum for protection and rigidity. It includes a dust cap. The scope also comes with two split-hinged die-cast aluminum mounting rings to protect the finish of the tube. These rings make it easy to rotate the tube to bring the focuser and finder to the most comfortable viewing position. The bottoms of the rings have threaded mounting holes for a Vixen-style mounting plate (which is included).
The tube also has an attractive outside gloss white finish and a matte black interior finish to reduce stray reflection and increase image contrast. The tube is 11.9" in diameter (12.2" at the end rings), 45.5" long, and it extends beyond the focuser to act as a shield to prevent stray light from entering the tube and reducing image contrast.

Specifications
GSO is a leader in optical telescopes and accessories and their products have been sold for years by the "Big Three" (Meade, Celestron and Orion) under their own brand names. GSO telescopes and accessories are also sold under different names world-wide; Zhumell (USA), Apertura (USA), TPO (USA), Teleskop Service (Germany), Sky Optic (France), Antares (Canada), Astronz (New Zealand), and more than a dozen more brands too many to name. GSO is known for their high consistency in quality control, low defect rate, and their Taiwanese-based manufacturing scores closer to Japan in quality than other telescope manufacturers which mostly manfacture thier scopes in Mainland China. Give these telescopes a try - you will not be disappointed! |
