1m F/8 Ritchey Chrétien with dual Nasmyth Foci, Cape Town (South Africa)

Another large telescope for the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO). An 1m F/8 Alt-Az mounted Ritchey Chrétien for robotic use. It has dual Nasmyth Foci. The main telescopes used for research are located at the SAAO observing station (32°22.795’S 20°48,657’E) near Sutherland in the Northern Cape, a 4-hour drive from Cape Town.

Astronomy is our job

Observatory Telescopes

Big prime focus telescopes for private or public observatories including installation and full service.

Robotic / Remote

ASA Optics

 

Only the best telescope optics!

Fabrication of world-class optics is only possible with accurate feedback via high-quality testing. To this end, ASA has invested in the finest test equipment available! Our optical system utilizes a precision iterative process to remove measurable errors – allowing us to achieve the highest quality optical figures available.

We can produce 1-meter optics in under 3 months from receipt of order to delivery! Choose from your material of choice in the Schott or CDGM glass catalogue. We welcome your inquiries.

ASA the 800mm f2.5 mirrors

are produced at our optical facility using high-quality Computer-Generated Holograms made possible with a specially designed measurement tower, and our vibration-immune interferometer.

We are currently running a serial production with an output of one mirror every 3 weeks.

Outstanding optical performance!

This 1000mm f1.8 mirror was produced using a multi-axis CNC-controlled processing center in conjunction with our high-quality testing process. The final mirror figures were ~2x better than specified by the customer.

  • Pixel sampling was 1.67 µm
  • Wavefront RMS is 23 nm
  • PV is 113 nm
