• f/12 Focal Ratio: Provides a balanced view of various celestial objects.
• Fixed Primary Mirror: Eliminates image shift during focusing.
• Quartz Primary and Secondary Mirrors: Ensure high reflectivity with a minimum of 95%.
• Open-framed Carbon Fibre Truss Design: Provides stability, quick thermal equalisation, and easy transportation.
• 3.25” Dual-speed Linear Bearing Crayford Focuser: Allows for precise adjustments.
• Multiple Knife-edge Baffle System: Reduces stray light, maximizing contrast.
• Losmandy-style Mounting Plates: Available on both the base and the top for versatile accessory mounting.

Detailed Description

The StellaLyra 10" f/12 M-LRC Classical Cassegrain Carbon Truss Telescope OTA integrates cutting-edge technology with a robust design to deliver exceptional performance for avid astronomers. Its 250mm optical aperture and 3045mm focal length make it ideal for detailed observations and imaging of smaller celestial objects.

The telescope’s open-framed carbon fibre truss design not only looks impressive but also ensures incredible stability and rapid thermal equalisation, essential for clear and stable views. The fixed position primary mirror effectively eliminates image shift that can occur in other designs during focusing, providing you with consistent, high-quality images.

The dual-speed 3.25” linear bearing Crayford focuser allows for smooth and precise adjustments, ensuring that you can achieve the perfect focus every time. The multiple knife-edge baffles inside the telescope reduce stray light, enhancing the contrast of your observations.

Built for versatility, this telescope is equipped with both top and bottom Losmandy-style dovetail mounting plates, making it easy to attach a range of accessories. The included CNC-machined spacer rings provide flex-free focus extension when needed, offering additional customisation for your specific observational needs.
