Preface
Whether You need a parabolic, hyperbolic, or spherical mirror, Optics in Alluna you get for your telescope and your application the matching and manufactured for the most demanding optics.
Primary Mirror and complete Ritchey-Chrétien Cassegrain Systems shall be of the highest accuracy and surface smoothness made by us. Our lenses are known for their high quality known. Sharp star images, high resolution at the highest Contrast the hallmarks of our primary and secondary. Our clients are manufacturers of telescopes, public observatories, research and ambitious Amateur astronomers who want to be sure to get a perfect look.
For Industry, Research and Technology, we produce large single optics for Schlieren optics, lidar telescopes, collimators, lasers and other Applications.

To Our customers include, for example, the German Aerospace Center and Space DLR and the Institute of Physics Bern / Space & Planetary Sciences the Internationale Amateursternwarte IAS and many more


 
Glass
High quality Telescope mirrors require high-quality glass. We use the smaller sizes mostly "fine anealed and Precision annealed Pyrex ® No. 7740 ". For larger mirrors, and particularly high-quality Applications are ceramics such as Zerodur, Astro Sitall CO115m or CCZ HS Ohara used. Glass ceramics have the advantage of lower Thermal expansion coefficient of about 0.1 × 10-6 1 / K, therefore, virtually no expansion with temperature changes.
The Glass thickness is chosen so that under normal, proper industrial storage levels flares can occur almost on the surface.

Coating
Than Standard coating, we offer an aluminum coating with plasma polymer protective layer and a reflection of 94%. In the 94% over nearly the be entire visible wavelength range exceeded. For special applications are also other coatings such as silver or Gold for the IR range possible. As a service we offer cleaning and recoating of telescope mirror.


 
Quality Examination
A perfect surface shape with very smooth surface, the characteristics of all Alluna are Telescope mirror.
Each mirror is by interferometry measured and, depending on mirror size, the analysis of up to 10,000 points on the whole surface analyzed by software. We use to the measurement of compensation known as a Ross null test. Mirror and RC systems up to a size of 24 inches (610 mm) diameter be measured in autocollimation against a high-precision flat mirror.
Since we are not alone rely on one test will include tests for Foucault, Ronchi phase-contrast test and others to use.

Certificat Mirror

When the moon, the planets, the Disconnect close double stars and some planetary nebulae are Benefits of a smooth surface texture visually and photographically very clear. The very smooth surface contributes to mirror telescopes significantly contributes to the highest contrast and highest To achieve resolution. Compare Yourself


 
Quality Warranty
With a mirror of Alluna Optics give you one of the best currently available on the market Optics for the telescope. The production does not occur in a highly possible time but in the most profit potential optical Quality! We guarantee this and provide any look with a certificate and the original Interferogram.

The quality of our Mirror will convince you! Guaranteed for standard parabolic we have a surface accuracy of better than lambda / 8 PV wavefront be achieved at 632nm (typically at or better L/10 PV wavefront), Strehl better .96. For Ritchey Chretien systems, we guarantee a surface accuracy of 1/20 wave RMS / 633nm. Each Alluna Mirror has a very smooth surface, the other from almost any manufacturer reached.

Alluna Ritchey Chretien Telescopes
Our Ritchey Chretien RC telescopes are real systems with a hyperbolic primary mirror and a hyperbolic secondary mirror. The optical design was developed by one of the best European specialists in this field for Alluna Optics developed. In our own production every single mirror set is carefully manufactured and tested.
 


 

In the development of high-end RC-tube made no compromises. Precision and reliability focused on the development and construction in the first place. In the run - all parts have been on weight, stability and expansion behavior optimized. The aluminum components are for the Carbon Truss Tube manufactured on modern CNC machines. This is a complicated Honeycomb / Taschenkostruktion a very light but extremely strong, rigid Geamtkonstruktion achieved. The accuracy of milled aluminum is up to the 24-inch OTA components at a high accuracy 2-4/1000 of a millimeter.

Alluna Newtonian Astrograph
Our Ritchey Chretien Telescopes and Newtonian Astrograph Telescopes manufactured from the best materials  with modern methods. With every telescope you get a masterpiece of mechanics and the guarantee for a perfect optic. It is the same honeycomb structure is pocket for a light but highly stable and rigid truss tube used. All components are made directly with us or by associated companies of the environment. Our Newtonian Astrograph are available in sizes 16, 18, 20 and 24 inches as standard f3,8 systems, possible is f3,4 to f4,0.
