We are proud to introduce the new RiFAST300. Compared to it’s processor, the new 2018 version has a closed carbon tube, a simpler mechanic, has lost 6Kgs from the previous truss version, and incorporates a new tip tilt with a mechanical zero position.
The scope is a native f/3.8 with a flat field up to 60mm. Interestingly the scope has the possibility to use a dedicated 0.78x reducer (XTFR078) and 1.5x extender (XTFE15-300). So the instrument can be used from f/3 through f/5.7 with a corrected field of 42mm with both accessories. It can be 3 instruments in 1!
RiFAST300 is an universal astrograph. It will follow every need, through seasons and different deep sky objects. No other instrument on the market, in the 300mm class, can do that. You don’t have to buy more/different instruments to cover diverse deep sky objects across the year’s astrophotography seasons. Simply get your RiFAST300 equipped with optional reducer/extender and have more fun, while saving money!
RiFAST300 is the first versatile astrograph to follow your needs and save your money: stop buying several different OTA’s!
