My first Magazine Sky & Telescope - 03.2019

For twenty years Sky-Watcher has been bringing the astronomy market quality products at value prices. To celebrate, we’re teaming up with our friends at Starlight Xpress to offer limited-edition astrograph packages. By matching our award-winning astrographs with the Trius SX-42 camera, we’ve eliminated all of the headaches associated with configuring an imaging train. Back focus, adapters, guiders, filter wheel, etc. are all taken care of. Simply attach these kits to your favorite mount, plug into a computer, add your filters and you’re ready to go. Esprit and accessories Quattro and accessories Sky-Watcher’s collection of high-end astrographs include our Esprit ED Super Apo triplet refractors and Quattro f/4 Newtonians. All of the kits include field flatteners to ensure tight, round stars across the entire imaging plane. They also include mounting hardware, 50mm optical finder scopes and dual-speed focusers. The Starlight Xpress Trius SX-42 monochrome camera kit features ultra-low-noise Sony 694 sensors, excellent QE of up to 77% and built-in USB hub for guider and filter wheel control.
