4″ f/5 flat-field Super Apochromat

This 4″ apochromatic refractor from the Japanese telescope maker Takahashi is a perfect astrograph with a modified Petzval design and an excellent instrument for visual observing.

7″ f/6 Maksutov-Newtonian 4″ f/5 flat-field Super Apochromat

This scope is my first choice for planetary and Deep-Sky observing. It has a small obstruction and delivers high contrast views of the planets.

11″ f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain

An all-round scope, with its great aperture and its long focal length mainly used for planetary imaging and observing faint small Deep-Sky objects.

12″ f/5 Newtonian-Dobson

Aperture, aperture, aperture! This scope is an impressive and powerful observing instrument for faint Deep-Sky objects, good quality at an unbeatable price. The telescope is still transportable in my mini van. The telescope was “pimped up” by Wolfgang “Howdii” Howurek and got a new rocker box.
