iOptron 6" Photron RC Ritchey-Chretien Telescope OTA

Reduce the effective focal ratio of the iOptron 6" Ritchey-Chretien to f/6.75 with this 2" RC Focal Reducer by Apertura.

This iOptron 8x50 finder matches the 6" RC OTA and comes with a finder bracket. When aligned with the main telescope, this finder will help you find and center objects.

While this case was created for another scope, it’s 25” length makes it a good choice for the 19” long iOptron RC6 OTA. The zippered heavy-duty soft case will protect your scope during storage or transport. A zipped pouch can store smaller accessories.

Dew can quickly ruin a night of imaging, but there are ways to keep it at bay on all but the wettest of nights. Wrap this flexible dew shield snuggly around the end of your RC tube assembly to delay the formation of dew on your telescope optics.

If you'd like to use this telescope for visual astronomy, you will need a diagonal. This upgraded 2” model slides into the back once the adapter included with the scope is attached and accepts both 2” and 1.25” barreled accessories. Buying a 2” diagonal instead of the standard 1.25” allows you to buy either size eyepiece or Barlow. Some of the best low power eyepieces have 2” barrels, so why not get a diagonal that can accept both?

This 10 mm Super Wide Angle eyepiece will produce 137X magnification when used in the iOptron RC6. If you also pick up a 2X Barlow, you’d be able to double the magnification of the 10 mm to 274X, for max magnification on nights of good seeing.

A 2X Barlow is one of the most popular telescope accessories available because it doubles the magnification of any eyepiece! Since this is a 2” 2X Barlow with a 1.25” adapter, it will work great with both 1.25” and 2” eyepieces, but does need a 2” diagonal or focuser to accommodate its larger 2” insert barrel. Grow your magnification choices quickly by adding a good 2X Barlow to your accessory case.

This 15 mm Super Wide Angle eyepiece will produce 91X magnification when used in the iOptron RC6. If you also pick up a 2X Barlow, you’d be able to double the magnification of the 15 mm to 182X, great for the planets on steady nights.

We are offering this 40 mm eyepiece to allow your telescope to achieve low magnifications. The 40 mm produces 34X when used with the iOptron 6” RC, but if you also pick up a 2X Barlow lens, it will double the magnification of the 40 mm eyepiece to 68X. The 2X Barlow could then be used with any other eyepiece you acquire!

This electric focuser is made for iOptron Ritchey-Chretien telescopes that are mounted on an iOptron computerized mount. It controls the 6” Photron RC dual-speed focuser when operated via the mount’s hand controller. Features includes a stepper motor, 3-speed control, zero backlash, and ASCOM compliance.
