This incredibly fast f\/2.0 system is the perfect companion to today’s color astronomical CMOS cameras, smaller CCD cameras, and mirrorless cameras. Thanks to its fast focal ratio and patented optical design, you can produce sharp, detailed images and, in many cases, skip the autoguider completely.

catadioptric mini astrograph (minigraph) available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sky-Watcher Honders Advanced Catadioptric (HAC) telescope is a sophisticated, high-speed astrograph designed for fast, wide-field imaging in a compact package. Unlike other small refractor astrographs, the HAC125DX features a lightning-fast f\/2 focal ratio allowing you to capture images 5x faster than a standard f\/4.9 optic. With this kind of speed that means more data in less time and no need to autoguide!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to the original HAC125 the HAC125DX features a rear focusing mechanism on the primary. This allows for a wider range of cameras to be used compared to the original model and makes focusing easier when the telescope is in use. While small, at only 15.7-inches long the HAC125DX offers a powerful imaging platform for both beginners and advanced imagers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe telescope features a 16mm image circle which is ideal for IMX533 and 585 and smaller cameras. \u003cstrong\u003e(We've found the \u003cem\u003euseful\u003c\/em\u003e image circle smaller than specified, so cameras with a full 16mm diagonal, like the ASI 183 and the 533, will need some cropping for pinpoint stars.

Fast optics and small size make it easier to get out and enjoy the hobby you love. Attach it to your favorite portable mount and you are ready to capture the universe in virtually no time at all!
