The top of the range in our CT series is the formidable, CT16 at f4 focal ratio. Very little needs to be said about the CT16 other than to say, if you can find any other 400mm telescope which performs anywhere nearly as well, please let us know, we want to meet that ‘scope!
The performance of this telescope is incredible, no single word can describe how well this telescope performs. With 1/10PV wavefront optics and Hilux coatings , coupled with the computer optimised main mirror cell, the CT16 is the top of it’s class as far as image quality and product reliability is concerned.
It is possible to transport this ‘scope to a dark site but, by far the best option is a permanent set up in an observatory where it’s full potential can be realised and the resultant images not fail to amaze you. This really is a show stopper, the CT16 really does perform up to and beyond the theoretical limits of it’s aperture.
*The weights shown on each model refer to the standard optical tube with no additional equipment added.
