ArteSky
Italien dealer, who produces and supplies astronomy tools of the highest quality for professional and amateur astronomers.
Anyone who has ever explored the starry sky with a heavy pair of large binoculars will be familiar with the problem: the higher the object is in the sky, the more uncomfortable it becomes to observe. This is exactly where the Artesky V2 parallelogram mount comes in – and it does its job so well that you almost forget the binoculars have any weight at all.
- The mount supports instruments weighing up to approx. 7 kg
- Optimal balance and free swivelling from the horizon to the zenith
- Very well suited for astronomy and landscape observation
- 3/8" tripod thread (internal thread) on the base, so the mount fits all stable photographic tripods and many astronomical tripods
- The binoculars are attached via 1/4" and 3/8" threads. A prism clamp can be easily attached
- The scope of delivery includes the mount and counterweight bar – all counterweights for bars with a 20 mm diameter are compatible
ARTEC series optics are selected to guarantee high-level performance:
- Reflectivity above 95%
- Correction equal to or better than λ/8
- Strehl ratio equal to or greater than 0.95
The ARTEC 200 includes a 1.14x coma corrector, extending the focal length to 912 mm and the focal ratio to F/4.5, with a resulting illuminated field of 55 mm.
The conical quartz primary mirror ensures stability by avoiding lateral shifts and reducing glass mass, optimizing acclimation times.
