RC Optical Systems

RC Optical Systems announces a new series of fast, affordable Ritchey-Chrétien telescopes that can fully illuminate the biggest imaging detectors on the market today. The 10RCA (starting at $6,450) is a 9¾-inch f/7 aluminum optical tube assembly that features a Pyrex primary, aluminum mirror coatings with enhanced (96.9%) reflectivity, a precision secondary-mirror focuser, and dovetail mounting plates. The telescope as shipped arrives ready to use with your camera and mount. The RCA series is also available in larger sizes, as well as with carbon-fiber truss tubes as pictured here.
