New possibilities

This Bynostar is the largest reflector telescope (also called reflector or Newton telescope) from the assortment of Bynostar telescopes and not exactly a beginner's instrument. The 200mm primary mirror gathers three times more light than a standard 114mm Newton! The light intensity is large enough to start experimenting with webcams or ccd cameras. With a limiting magnitude of 13.7, even in the city, many deep-sky objects will fall at the mercy of this giant. The resolution of 0.6 arc seconds is largely met by the parabolic mirror; crater pits on the Moon of 1 km become visible without problem under favorable conditions. The secondary mirror has 4 thin spider legs (very thin mounting plates) mounted on the telescope tube and the whole is designed in such a way that spykes (bright light spokes) are also reduced during planetary observation. The thin edge of these plates is of course directed towards the starlight. This reduces the light spokes from a bright object. Light spokes are a known phenomenon in larger Newton viewers and this is a property inherent to the structure: it is not an optical error.

Take your time to look at Uranus and Neptune. The high magnification of 300 times or more will be needed! The viewer accepts 2 inch eyepieces, but also has an adapter for 1.25 inch ones. By default, a 10 and 25mm super Plössl eyepieces are included. This high light intensity telescope has another additional powerful tool to find items: the 9x50 finderscope. Many deep-sky objects will already appear in the finderscope!

The mount on which this giant is fixed, is certainly up to the job. Heavy duty for extra stability. Even the tripod legs are made of 3.8 mm thick steel instead of aluminium. The tripod height is adjustable from 97 to 121 cm. The highly precise and rigid mount is equipped with aluminium reading scales, large hour axes and declination brakes and a built-in pole finder for accurate alignment to the actual North Pole. DC motors and the hour and declination axis are standard. It's no wonder that everything works smoothly. Young experienced observers are really enthusiastic about it!

Each telescope has its sky, experienced amateur astronomers are sometimes saying, and that's absolutely true. With this telescope you'll soon discover new possibilities, after the well-known and brightest deep-sky objects have been looked up, and will be searching for the limits of this instrument. And you will not be surprised standing suddenly face to face with objects such as 3c 273, a Quasi Stellar Object in the Virgin constellation... 3.5 billion light years away...
