■ 20cm/25cm Coude with CATS-III |
 |
|
The Coude telescope guides light through its polar axis with two mirrors.
It can observe any star without adjusting the observer's eye position.
The telescope does not need a ladder or footstool. Even a wheelchair user can operate
it with comfort. A sliding roof or angled dome could provide easy access to the observatory
without an elevator or ladder. It enables the set-up of a barrier-free observatory.
You can operate the telescope remotely from school or home over the Internet.

■ 45cm Cassegrain Equatorial Telescope |
|
|
This telescope is made of a Cassegrain design with lenses polished by GOTO
to extremely high accuracy. The platform consists of an improved German equatorial mount
that can save room for the observer. High-speed rotation is achieved with the use of a
high-precision worm gear instead of a clamp. The equatorial telescope is designed to
satisfy the needs of researchers. It can run in combination with an astronomical dome,
monitor the weather, and control a cooled CCD. The telescope is serving many researchers
throughout the world.

■ Telescope with diameters exceeding 60cm |
|
|
|
GOTO makes and installs large reflective telescopes with lenses larger than
60cm in diameter by special order and arrangement. GOTO optical designers and
telescope engineers enjoy a challenge! Feel free to call us about your plan.
