Enjoy wide-field imaging so fast you don't need to autoguide with the HAC125DX Honders Advanced Catadioptric Minigraph telescope from Sky-Watcher. This f/2 mini astrograph accepts a variety of 1.25" and M42 T-thread cameras and employs hybrid refractive/reflective glass in sharply reducing exposure times. The 16mm image circle is just right for popular image sensors such as IMX533 and 585. The Honders also is extraordinarily compact and lightweight, easily portable to dark sky observing locales. Two clamshell rings hold the OTA on a Vixen-style dovetail and two brackets are provided for finderscopes.
