Two 450 mm (17.72 inch) Astrographs to be tested in Spring 2014
Welcome to “Telescopi Italiani” – Italian Telescopes! We are engineering our web site.
Italian Telescopes is on the market to develop a New Concept in Astrograph Egineering: both their components and the whole assemply gathering is carried out with a well revamped mentality compared to traditional proceedings.
Two 450 mm Clear Aperture class Prototypes nearly done
The first items which are to be available as prototype are two 450 mm Clear Aperture class ones (17.72 inch) called TI 45 Astrograph. These types are to be undergoing severe tests. Such tests are engineered within the coming 2014 Spring. We expect to be ready to put on the market the full range of Astrographs early summer 2014.Benvenuti, “Telescopi Italiani” – Italian Telescopes! Stiamo lavorando al sito web.
