Choosing an Omegon telescope

Omegon's telescope range spans entry-level observing instruments through to specialised apochromatic refractors. The collection below is particularly strong in Omegon Pro APO models intended for imaging, so aperture, focal length, optical design and corrected image field should guide the choice.

Compact Omegon astrographs

Compact models such as the Pro APO 71/490 Quadruplet, 72/400 Quintuplet and DoubleED 40/180 Sixtuplet are designed around portable astrophotography. Multi-element flat-field designs can simplify the imaging train by incorporating field correction into the telescope design.

Omegon triplet APO refractors

Triplet refractors including the 96/575 FCD-100, 104/650 ED, 106/700 FCD-100 and larger 130mm models provide greater aperture while retaining the advantages of an apochromatic refractor. Check whether a separate flattener or reducer is required for your chosen camera and target field.

Complete telescope and mount combinations

Selected Omegon refractors are also available as complete combinations with an equatorial mount. These can be useful when building a new imaging system, but the total payload should always include the camera, guiding equipment, filters, focuser and other accessories rather than the telescope alone.

Omegon telescopes for astrophotography

For imaging, match the telescope to the camera sensor and targets you intend to photograph. Shorter focal lengths provide a wider field for large nebulae and mosaics, while longer focal lengths give a narrower field and greater image scale. Mount tracking, guiding and local seeing remain important parts of the complete system.
