Optec Inc. NextGEN MAXfield NGM 0.33X Telecompressor Lens - Enhanced Imaging for SCTs

• Optimized for Classic SCTs: Specially designed for Meade and Celestron SCTs, effectively reducing the focal ratio to f/3.3 on f/10 systems and f/3.7 on f/11 C-14 systems.
• Variable Performance: Results can slightly vary based on the imaging train configuration.
• Ideal with Temperature Compensating Focuser: Achieves best results when used with a temperature compensating focuser, ensuring precise focus in varying temperatures.
• Second Generation Design: The NGM 0.33X MAXfield telecompressor is well-suited for C-mount cameras, including Mallincam Video CCD cameras.
• Advanced Optical Design: Developed using Zemax, optimized for minimal blur across multiple field points and wavelengths (450, 550, 650 nm).
• Custom-Made Optical Elements: Lenses made without compromise to radii, using custom tools for precision.
• Telescope-Side Compatibility:
  • TCF-S focuser.
  • Any standard 2-inch focuser or receiver.
• Camera-Side Compatibility:
  • Requires NextGEN Camera-specific mount.
  • Detailed compatibility table available for supported cameras.
• Detailed Optical Analysis Available:
  • Spot diagram, encircled energy, ray trace, and field curvature diagrams available for in-depth analysis.
• Enhanced Astrophotography: Ideal for astrophotographers seeking to reduce focal ratios for faster imaging and wider fields of view.
