The PlaneWave 24-inch f/6.5 RC represents a sophisticated reflector telescope available in either Ritchey-Chrétien or Corrected Dall-Kirkham optical configurations, both featuring high-quality fused silica mirrors for exceptional thermal stability and optical performance. With its substantial 610 mm aperture and f/6.5 focal ratio, this instrument delivers excellent light-gathering capability and a wide field of view ideal for both deep-sky imaging and detailed celestial observations. The carbon fiber optical tube assembly with dual truss design minimizes thermal expansion, while integrated cooling fans enable rapid thermal equilibration for consistent, distortion-free imaging throughout extended observing sessions.
