Quick picks ::: Cardiff University half-metre telescope
We are able to provide not only telescopes of aperture 400mm to 800mm, but computer-controlled mounts and all the ancillary equipment needed, such as state-of-the-art CCD cameras and filters. These instruments can be robotically controlled as well.
Quality & choice
Look through any astronomy magazine and you will see that the telescope market is dominated by two major American companies keen to sell you variants of a Schmidt-Cassegrain (SCT) design that is over 40 years old. We believe it's time for a new player in the game, one able to offer you innovative, high-performance alternatives to these U.S. and Far Eastern-made SCT and Maksutov-based systems.
Optimised solutions
Rather than an optical compromise, our Newise and Zerochromat products deliver optimal performance in their respective fields — whether you are looking for a compact instrument equally at home providing wide-angle views and superb imaging characteristics in the form of the Newise, or the crisp, high-contrast, high-power lunar and planetary images of an unobstructed refracting optical system as delivered by the Zerochromat.
Investing in a Newise or Zerochromat gives you the satisfaction of owning an instrument designed and built in the United Kingdom, using premium optics subjected to the most up-to-date and rigorous testing equipment available. Furthermore, each product comes with personalised support from a small but dedicated team who are just a 'phone call or e-mail away.
