An OTA telescope is the heart of your astronomical experience. By focusing solely on the optical tube and leaving out the mount and tripod, you have the freedom to choose the right support for your needs. This gives you flexibility, whether you're upgrading an existing mount or assembling a custom rig for specialized use. Why Choose an OTA Telescope? Superior Customization: Ideal for astronomers who already own mounts and tripods or want to build a personalized setup. Precision Optics: Enjoy clear, crisp views of celestial objects thanks to advanced lens and mirror designs from top brands. Portability: OTAs are generally lighter and easier to transport, making them perfect for field use or remote stargazing locations. Top Brands in Our Collection Stellalyra: Known for its exceptional clarity and quality craftsmanship, Stellalyra OTAs offer unmatched performance for planetary and deep-sky observations. Bresser: A pioneer in astronomy equipment, Bresser delivers OTA telescopes with advanced optical coatings and durable construction, ensuring long-term reliability. Omegon: Omegon OTAs bring high-end technology within reach, providing premium optics designed for astrophotography and professional stargazing experiences. Find the Right OTA for You Our OTA telescopes come in a variety of apertures, optical designs (reflector, refractor, catadioptric), and price points, so you can find the ideal model to match your observational goals. Whether you're targeting faint galaxies, planets, or the details of the lunar surface, we have an OTA to suit your needs.

FAQ About OTA Telescopes

What is an OTA telescope?

An OTA (Optical Tube Assembly) is the core of the telescope, consisting of the primary optical components (lenses, mirrors, and focusers) but excluding the mount, tripod, or any tracking mechanisms. This allows users to pair the optical tube with their preferred setup or upgrade their existing system.

What are the benefits of buying an OTA telescope separately?

Buying an OTA telescope allows you to customize your setup. You can pair it with your preferred mount and tripod, ensuring you get the performance you need for specific types of observation, whether it’s deep-sky viewing or astrophotography. OTAs are also more portable and convenient for transport.

Which is better for me: a complete telescope or an OTA?

If you’re starting from scratch, a complete telescope might be the most straightforward option. However, for those looking to upgrade their system or for experienced users who already own mounts and accessories, an OTA provides more flexibility and customization options.

Can I use an OTA telescope for astrophotography?

Absolutely! Many OTAs, especially from brands like Stellalyra and Omegon, are designed with astrophotography in mind. They provide precise optics and often come with features like dual-speed focusers, ensuring you can capture high-quality images of celestial objects.

What type of mount should I use with an OTA telescope?

he type of mount depends on your intended use. Equatorial mounts are ideal for astrophotography and tracking celestial objects, while alt-azimuth mounts are great for visual observations due to their simplicity and ease of use.

Great, well made dew heater strap

The Lynx Astro Dew Heater Strip is very well made and gives great cover to my telescope. It was also very reasonably priced for the money and works well. A very good buy

Well, what it can do is, truly amazing and I am pleased. Beautiful photos of the sun and Andromeda straight out of the box.

Does take some time to connect to the phone and drops out. But all things being considered, amazing.

Would benefit from a software update to fix this and the photo stacking can yet be improved.

Game changer for amateurs!

So impressive for the price. I’m a complete astrophotography novice but the Seestar S50 makes it so easy and removes the frustration by finding the objects for you. Occasional connection glitches aside the seestar S50 is great fun and allows you take really impressive photos of deep sky objects. Not had a chance to use the lunar function yet, but solar filter works great and allows you to see sun spots in a lot of detail. Not designed for planets but still allows you to get a nice but fairly small view of them. I have been able to see the rings of Saturn and some small cloud banding detail on Jupiter.
