Baader Alan Gee II Telecompressor (f/5.9)
The Baader Alan Gee II Telecompressor is a highly versatile and unique system designed specifically for Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescopes (SCTs). With an advanced air-spaced doublet design, this telecompressor delivers the finest wide and flat field of view achievable with an SCT, resulting in a fast focal ratio of approximately f/5.9. Its compact design, with an optical length of less than 50mm, makes it an excellent addition to any SCT setup, enhancing performance for both astrophotography and visual observation.
Key Features:
- Enhanced Wide Field: Produces a sharp, wide, and flat field of view, making it ideal for both visual and imaging applications.
- Fast Focal Ratio: Reduces the focal ratio of your SCT to approximately f/5.9, enabling faster imaging and a wider field of view.
- Compact Design: With an optical length of less than 50mm, it integrates seamlessly into most SCT systems.
- High-Quality Coatings: Multi-Coated (MC) optics ensure maximum light transmission and reduced reflections for sharp and bright images.
- Compatibility: Specifically designed for Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes, ensuring optimal performance and easy integration.
- Specialized for Binoviewers: For visual use, it works best with Baader/Zeiss and Celestron binoviewers due to the close coupling required to reach focus.
