Ritchey-Chrétien Telescopes
 
 
Alluna Ritchey-Chrétien telescopes convince two hyperbolic mirrors with outstanding universal Properties. Compact design with low weight, color purity, planes, koma and astigmatism free field of 65 mm in diameter. Very small spot diameter until the outer edge of the image field. All components, optics, mechanics and software meet highest quality standards. Robust CNC machined aluminium Carbon Truss Tube guarantees high stability and easy handling. All major Tube components have a complex honeycomb pockets, so could we carry an extremely light but highly stable tube.

 


 
 
Since the Ritchey-Chrétien is a system with two mirrors, it has no chromatic aberration, therefore, it can across the entire spectrum from ultraviolet to the be used long-wavelength infrared (100nm-12mu). Through the excellent on-and off-axis image quality, the large usable Field and the versatility of a Ritchey-Chrétien system are our RC-telescopes especially designed for use in astrophotography and the wide range of astronomical research. The RC telescopes are also a great visual instrument and thus usable for Observatories serving the public well suitable.

Despite the high quality and the complete assembly of all components in Germany, it is us succeeded in the price of our Ritchey-Chrétien Telescopes equal or even less to maintain than other essential Telescope simpler systems of equal size. This requires a Alluna Ritchey Chrétien telescope important components such as the telescope control system already included.


 
 
Alluna RC Optics
The optical design was from one of the best European specialists in the field of telescope optics Developed exclusively for Alluna Optics. In our own production of each single mirror set with extreme precision and care, manufactured and tested. Of course, each telescope is a detailed Certificate of using original Interferogram. By using the double lens AFFC (Alluna Flat Field Corrector) is photographed a plane koma and astigmatism free field of 65 mm diameter free of optical vignetting be used. AFFC is Broadband coated 400-900 nm.

Alluna RC Truss OTA
The optical performance, the accuracy, reliability, and the demand for the highest Quality remain with Alluna Ritchey-Chrétien telescopes not left to chance!
As in many other technical areas of practice, we use specifically targeted at construction and design of our systems, the indispensable support of modern CAD. Complex parts and assemblies are accurately modeled as needed and in the run virtually assembled.

Thus, for example, in advance all parts of the weight, stability and expansion behavior be optimized. The extensive FEA (finite element analysis) helps In addition the process of all structural elements due to stress-simulation analysis and is therefore an important tool for targeted Construction.
The derived from CAD Design data are "directly" in the currently most advanced CNC machines; overplayed and it created the desired precision components for our OTAs.


 
 
Alluna Telescope Control
Attend to Your astro shots or research work, the telescope-control control handles the basic functions on the main telescope. On the one the air conditioning of the optical tube and the main mirror, for the other focusing optics accepted. 
In receive mode Climate they include accurate temperature information, the control of the fan is fully automated, depending on the current delta between ambient and primary mirror temperature. In the Foccusiermodus a large Display the current focus position of digits, or inches specified. With the GoTo function to stored positions focus position fast and precise automatic hit, the so-called Focus-Drift is of course automatically compensated.
The Secondary-Focuser features a resolution of 5904 digits per 1 mm, corresponding to a computational step equivalent of 0.17µm rounded! The telescope control system has additionally the mode CCD rotator. This includes all the functions for a comfortable and precise control, for this Astrophotographers extremely useful tool, is required.
