Hyperion 12.5" f/8 Astrograph Description

Price TBD

Starizona has developed an astrographic telescope that will deliver the largest, highest quality field of view on the market. With a 70mm diffraction-limited image circle, the Hyperion telescope produces ideal star images over a field large enough to accommodate even the biggest CCD sensors. The Hyperion was engineered to deliver exquisite optical performance and high-quality mechanical design at a cost much less than competing models. The unique optical design allows for very high performance at a fraction of the cost. The Hyperion is the ultimate high-resolution imaging system.
