f/4 correctors

The first three TI45 astrograph f/4 correctors are ready!

/1 Comment/in , /by

The first three f/4 correctors are ready. They are 126 mm of optical diameter (about 5″) and have three elements, one of wich is an ED lens.

This high-end design corrector is the core of our new optical design and thanks to this the optical performances are so awesome (see Optical Performances).

The primary and secondary mirrors are ready too, and autocollimation tests will start very soon. The f/8 correctors lenses are ready too and they are waiting to be mounted.

All the electronic boards of the TI45 Astrograph are under test and debugging

All the electronic boards of our new TI45 astrograph are now under test and debugging. They will control the 4″ field rotator, the four primary mirror cover shutters, all the sensors, fans, heaters on board, the power outputs, etc.
They will be integrated in the TI 45 Astrograph body.

Two 450 mm (17.72 inch) Astrographs to be tested in Spring 2014

/1 Comment/in /by

Welcome to “Telescopi Italiani” – Italian Telescopes! We are engineering our web site.

Italian Telescopes is on the market to develop a New Concept in Astrograph Egineering: both their components and the whole assemply gathering is carried out with a well revamped mentality compared to traditional proceedings.

Two 450 mm Clear Aperture class Prototypes nearly done

The first items which are to be available as prototype are two 450 mm Clear Aperture class ones (17.72 inch) called TI 45 Astrograph. These types are to be undergoing severe tests. Such tests are engineered within the coming 2014 Spring. We expect to be ready to put on the market the full range of Astrographs early summer 2014.Benvenuti, “Telescopi Italiani” – Italian Telescopes! Stiamo lavorando al sito web.
