 		OPTICAL DESIGN NOTES

Ritchey-Chretien astrographs are generally regarded as being the best design for astrophotography.

Ritchey-Chretien (RC) optical designs are generally regarded as being optically superior to Schmidt-Cassegrain (SCT) designs
and "edge" corrected SCTs due to their resulting flatter field.

  Schmidt-Cassegrain optical designs are generally regarded as being superior to Maksutov-Cassegrain designs due to their higher light transmission, etc.

Prices are subject to change due to recent exchange rate variations.

We reserve the right to limit sale quantities to retail levels.

Quantity pricing is by negotiation.

Bonuses are not redeemable for cash or a further discount.

Most short-tube refractors are designed to be used in conjunction with a diagonal. Focus may not be achievable without using a diagonal or a focal extender tube. Diagonals and focal extenders are at additional cost.

Please remember that warranty may be void if you internally disassemble any telescope, regardless of brand.
Customer-caused damage is not covered by warranty, of course.

We set the "street" prices on Skywatcher products in Australia.

Beware of uncompetitive dealers!
