If you are an astro-photographer looking for a fast optical system at a fantastic price then the Quattro series is for you.
The Sky-Watcher 8" f/4 Quattro Imaging Newtonian has . . .
The 8" Sky-Watcher Quattro Imaging Newtonian with dual-speed focuser is optimized for wide-field deep space imaging, but can also be used for pleasing visual observing. It incorporates a superbly-figured multi-coated borosilicate optical glass mirror-set. Additionally, the tube length has been slightly shortened to optimize performance for wide-field prime-focus photography. Even better field edge performance for astrophotography, and visual use, can be achieved by adding the Sky-Watcher Quattro coma corrector.
This Sky-Watcher 8" Quattro imaging Newtonian is ultra-fast and incredibly simple to use. The f/4 optical system allows the user to capture wide field images of faint deep space objects such as nebulae, open clusters, and galaxies over six times faster than using an f/10 system. This gives you the ability to acquire more images in less time. The Newtonian optical design is one of the most basic, and therefore trouble-free, systems available to astrophotographers.
