Omegon Pro Newton: to set sail to space with the wind in your sails

Astronomical photography or visual observation? With this tube the question does not arise, because it combines the two types of use. This series is based on components that make the optical tube a powerful tool for astronomy.

See razor-sharp lunar craters, planets in detail and deep-sky objects, which will simply appear brighter than in a standard telescope. Omegon Pro Newton doesn't do things by halves: materials and workmanship are excellent. To make sure everything goes smoothly on your journey through the universe.

The benefits at a glance:

Excellent workmanship optical tube: for long years full of satisfaction
BK-7 main mirror and 94% reflectivity: Brighter images than a standard mirror for contrast
extraordinary
2 "Crayford focuser: smooth focusing, to always find the perfect sharpness
Great backfocus: connect your SLR camera or any other camera
Simple assembly: thanks to the prism system, the tube is suitable for all mounts with the system
Synta / Vixen / Skywatcher / Celestron
High-quality metal tube with excellent workmanship
The tube of this telescope opens the door to a fantastic hobby. It is not made of plastic but of metal, with a fine workmanship. In the world of telescopes these are essential prerequisites, because only in this way can the instrument give long years of satisfaction.

Main mirror in BK7 glass
The heart of this instrument is the BK-7 glass main mirror. Compared to the "usual" glass, this guarantees zero deformation in the cooling phase. This means better image reproduction, even if the tube is not yet fully acclimatized to the outside temperature.

Enhanced Coating: 94% reflectivity for bright images
When you dive deep into the universe, you can observe objects otherwise invisible to the naked eye with your telescope. The most important features of the instrument are the aperture and the main mirror. The main mirror of this telescope offers 94% reflectivity, allowing you to admire super-bright images, even faint deep-sky objects, with excellent contrast.

2 "Crayford focuser for all the clarity you need
The Crayford 2 "Single Speed ​​focuser finds focus in an extraordinarily simple way with any eyepiece you want. It is the ball bearing construction that makes it possible: light and precise, it always finds the exact focus point.

Astrophotography: ideal for your SLR camera
With some telescopes, using your own camera to take astronomical photos is not at all easy. This perspective, however, offers you sufficient backfocus for the purpose. What does it mean? It means that even large DSLR cameras achieve perfect sharpness. For dream photos.

Assembly made easy - fits most frames
The 33.5cm long Vixen type dovetail plate is the standard size for almost all frames. The great thing is that mounting the tube and finding the perfect balance becomes a simple and very fast operation.

A thin-legged spider for maximum contrast
Astronomers know it well: the insect that inhabits the cellars in this case has nothing to do with it. The spider is the support that holds the secondary mirror, and that of this telescope has arms only a few millimeters thick. The result is a contrast that does not go unnoticed.

Our opinion: it is the perfect tube to start the astronomy hobby in an optimal way or to upgrade your equipment with a high quality product.

The choice: f / 5 or f / 6 tube?
This telescope is available in two versions: with focal ratio f / 5 or f / 6. But what's the difference? Some are worth choosing?

The focal ratio gives you some information on the relationship between the aperture diameter and the focal length, and therefore on the characteristics of the instrument:

Characteristics of an f / 5:

Shorter Structure: The telescope is more compact and works well even with smaller mounts
Shorter focal length: Allows shorter exposure times and a larger field of view for astrophotography
Recommended for ambitious beginners, experienced amateurs and astrophotographers
Characteristics of an f / 6:

Larger focal length: achieves higher magnifications more easily. Perfect for planets and planetary nebulae.
Even inexpensive eyepieces allow good image reproduction
As a whole the telescope is easier to adjust and forgives small errors. This means a good contrast in planetary observation.
Recommended for beginners or visual observers who want to easily achieve high magnifications
