Dream currently has 3" coma correctors in stock.
A large batch of primary mirrors
for the 16" Dream Astrograph line has been started. We expect
to receive the first completed primary mirror around the first
week of September. |
|
We have already taken the first orders for the tube
version of the 16" Dream Astrograph. We are proud that it
will be the second Dream Astrograph at SRO. |

Another feature exclusive to Dream are the two Viewports
on either side of the focuser. Again, a disadvantage of a solid
tube is that it obscures your view of the secondary
mirror's face. We need to see that face when using a template
on top of the secondary. Such templates help to physically locate
the mirror (while using a laser or crosshair accessory in the
focuser) for its given offset. That is why Dream has designed
in these two 0.5" ID Viewports on either side. At night
you can sight through one Viewport while shining a light in through
the other. They are angled to point directly to the offset center
of the secondary mirror. Having two also helps reduce the chances
of the ports being inaccessible because of the telescope's angle/location. |
