Premium Optics with HD Concept

The optical excellence of the Conquest HDX is based on the HD concept: a perfectly balanced optical system that combines selected coatings, lenses and a finely tuned optical design. It enables 90 % light transmission for the brightest images, color fidelity for true-to-life images without color fringing and color casts for perfect identification and sharpness from edge to edge for a clear and detailed image across the entire field-of-view.

Robust and durable design

The Conquest HDX is built to last in any environment, whether it's extreme temperatures, wet conditions, or direct sunlight. Its durable, waterproof, and shockproof features are attributed to its robust mechanical design and lightweight magnesium housing. Additionally, it's covered with a protective rubber armoring that provides a perfect grip under any circumstances.

Carefully thought-out ergonomics

The carefully thought-out ergonomics enable comfortable handling during longer periods of observation thanks to the non-slip grip and the smooth and precise focusing wheel. Adjustable eyecups and lockable diopter settings ensure a customized viewing experience.

A clear view, whatever the weather

There are always exciting things to be seen in the world of nature – even in wet weather. This is why ZEISS developed LotuTec®. A coating for the lenses of binoculars and spotting scopes that enables a clear and unhindered view in all weather conditions.

ZEISS T* Coating

ZEISS T* coating is a guarantee of the brilliant, high-contrast images­­ which you will experience above all in adverse light conditions and in the twilight. Behind it, however, there is no specific formula for building up the layers. Instead, it is a technology that is constantly adjusted to suit new glass materials and requirements, which varies from lens to lens.

Hubble UL32 – 32" Lightweight Reflector Telescope

The Hubble UL32sg is a flagship 32-inch Dobsonian telescope designed for serious deep-sky observers, research-grade visual work, and advanced EAA applications. With a massive 32-inch primary mirror, the UL32sg delivers 16 times the light grasp of an 8-inch telescope and four times that of a 16-inch, revealing galaxies, nebulae, and fine structure at a level few instruments on Earth can match.

Despite its extraordinary aperture, the UL32sg is engineered to remain as compact and transportable as possible for its class. Fully assembled, the telescope weighs around 150 kg and features a modular, all-metal construction with sectional truss tubes and a folding altitude bearing structure. A real mirror box provides safe protection for the primary mirror during transport and storage.

Light, Strong, Compact and Still Portable

The UL32sg is built using precision-machined aluminium alloy components, extensively modelled with CAD and FEA to optimise structural rigidity while minimising weight. Eight rigid sectional truss tubes ensure excellent stiffness and collimation stability, even at extreme elevations.

While the UL32sg is not a casual backyard instrument, it remains one of the most compact and practical 32-inch class telescopes available, capable of being transported and assembled by a small team for dark-sky expeditions, observatories, and research installations.

Revolutionary Smart Go-To System

The UL32sg is supplied exclusively in a Smart Go-To configuration, built around the state-of-the-art OnStep control system. This advanced platform combines fully motorised Go-To, high-resolution encoders, and a revolutionary plate-solving smart finder for unmatched pointing accuracy.

Using the system is simple: select a target via the smart hand controller or third-party software such as SkySafari or Stellarium, then with a single button press the telescope captures an image, plate-solves its position, and automatically refines its pointing until the target is perfectly centred.

The system supports automated star alignment, automated “Star Shows” such as Messier Marathons, intelligent routing to reduce slewing time by 30–50%, and full EAA live stacking for electronically assisted observing.

Connectivity includes built-in WiFi and Bluetooth, INDI and ASCOM drivers, real-time clock, spiral search, park/unpark, and full sidereal, lunar, and solar tracking rates. Control is available via smart hand controller, desktop software, or mobile apps on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.

Exclusive Sandwich Mirror Technology

The UL32sg uses a lightweight sandwich primary mirror designed to reach thermal equilibrium far faster than traditional solid mirrors. Rapid cooling dramatically reduces mirror seeing and internal turbulence, allowing the telescope to achieve its full optical potential much sooner in real-world conditions.

Unlike thick solid mirrors that may never stabilise during changing temperatures, the sandwich design delivers sharp, stable images without the need for active cooling systems, avoiding vibration and mechanical complexity.

Enhanced Optical Coatings

Both primary and secondary mirrors receive 96% enhanced dielectric coatings with multiple precision-controlled layers. These coatings maximise reflectivity, reduce scatter, and provide excellent chemical and mechanical durability, delivering bright, high-contrast images even at extreme magnifications.

Real Mirror Cell in a Real Mirror Box

The UL32sg features a fully engineered 27-point flotation mirror cell with sling and 90-degree pivoting lateral supports. This system prevents mirror deformation and eliminates astigmatism commonly caused by simpler collimation designs.

The independent three-point rod-end collimation system allows precise adjustment without stressing the mirror edge, maintaining optical integrity under all observing orientations.

Dual-Speed 2" Linear Bearing Crayford Focuser

The UL32sg is fitted with a precision 2-inch dual-speed linear bearing Crayford focuser, capable of handling heavy modern eyepieces and imaging equipment. The fine focus control provides ten times finer adjustment for critical focusing at high power or during EAA use, with approximately 50 mm of travel.

The Sky-Watcher Skymax 200DX Maksutov Cassegrain Telescope is a premium 200 mm optical system built for astronomers and astrophotographers who want exceptional sharpness, strong contrast, and consistent field flatness across a large image circle.

Designed around an optimised flat field Maksutov Cassegrain layout, the Skymax 200DX delivers clean, accurate performance for detailed visual observation and high resolution imaging.

With an effective aperture of 200 mm and a focal length of 2000 mm at F10, this telescope excels at revealing fine surface detail on the Moon and planets while also delivering strong results on compact deep sky targets. Its advanced optical design helps suppress off axis coma and other aberrations, producing consistent star images from the centre of the field right through to the edge.

For imaging applications, the Skymax 200DX includes a generous 44 mm image height, making it well suited for modern large sensor cameras and full frame astrophotography workflows. For users wanting wider fields and faster exposure times, an optional 0.7x focal reducer is available, expanding flexibility without taking away from the telescope’s refined optical purpose.

Despite its high performance optical profile, the Skymax 200DX remains compact and well balanced, making it a practical option for permanent observatory setups or portable imaging rigs when paired with a suitably rated equatorial mount.

SPECIFICATIONS

Get the most out of your Celestron Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph 11, even under light-polluted skies, with this Light Pollution Imaging Filter, custom-designed for the RASA. No matter which camera you use, this filter’s generous 68 mm clear aperture allows it to easily accommodate today’s largest sensors. Utilizing a machined aluminum housing and Schott B270 glass, the filter replaces the RASA’s clear optical window so the RASA’s optical performance is unaltered.

Remove Light Pollution While Keeping Your Images Bright
Light pollution limits how much of the night sky we can see and photograph. When imaging with a color camera in light polluted areas, skyglow degrades image quality. Light pollution filters help to selectively block light emitted from common streetlights and other ambient lighting. But most light pollution filters greatly compromise the total light throughput, causing dim images, and negatively impact the color balance, causing images to appear too green or blue.

The Light Pollution Imaging Filter for RASA “surgically” removes unwanted light pollution while preserving as much of the useful spectrum as possible. That means you’ll still retain over 90 percent of the light captured by your telescope at many wavelengths.

Unlike other light pollution suppression filters, the Celestron LP Imaging Filter for RASA maintains a relatively neutral color balance so you can bring out subtle color in galaxies and other faint deep sky objects. Multiple layers of specially-formulated dielectric coatings provide the desired transmission, while anti-reflective coatings minimize star halos and internal reflections.

Also included is a clear plastic case to protect the filter when not in use

Individually Tested for Quality
Every RASA 11 Light Pollution Imaging Filter is tested individually for light transmission. Inside the box, you’ll receive a graph detailing the actual transmission spectrum for your specific filter.
