Like all
Dream instruments this extremely efficient, low-maintenance,
powerful & high-performance Dream true R-C telescope
is designed from the ground up for robotic/remote use. It comes
with an optimized field flattener for superb full-field correction,
no field distortion and 100% illumination of the 135mm diameter
field required for the back-thinned 10k detector; 10560 x 10560
pixels, 9µ pixels. |

This cutting-edge
telescope features; |
|
- Dream's zeroDELTA™ engineered
lightweight mirrors: 3-6x lighter than conventional mirrors,
used for both M1 & M2, no
print through
and the same low MSF errors of solid mirrors, due to Dream's
world-leading push to produced the most highly engineered lightweight
mirrors. |
|
- Dream's engineered carbon fiber (CF)
and CF skinned sandwich core components, producing an ***athermal telescope:
95% of the
structure weight is Dream's carbon fiber with only 5% conventional
metals - ***settingetheestandard for truly
carbon fiber telescopes. |
|
- Dream's FAST™: Filtered Air System
Technology: fills the telescope with clean air, providing
the lowest ***possibletmaintenancetbecause it keeps optical coatings clean, requiring
both less cleanings and fewer re-coats, ***astwelltastthetshortest possible
Thermal
Time Constant. Dream is the only company
in the world that has fully addressed ***mirror
seeing. |
|
- Designed for use with the field
flattener optimized for 350-800nm waveband, or without, 350nm-2000nm.

Both M1 and M2 are engineered, lightweight mirrors,
finished based on high-resolution interferometry data from vertically-tested
mirrors, while each mirror is in its final carbon fiber athermal
mirror mount. Raw data is provided to the customer. |
