据说有人用3.5"的 Questar 马卡在 Tanzania 分辨出 Sirius 的伴星,确实很惊奇,过去我还问别人6寸的折射镜是否能分辨天狼星的双星!

Questar’s commitment to quality, on which it has built its
worldwide reputation, is immediately apparent in the superb resolution
and mechanical precision of the Questar Titanium Light Weight
Classic Seven. Those who want more aperture than the Questar 3.5
provides will marvel at the lighter packaging, increased power and
quadrupled light grasp available with its larger offspring. The Light
Weight Titanium Classic 7” is an astronomical telescope that is
completely portable. You can use it on a tripod, table with its optional
equatorial mount and legs, or with Questar’s Large Astro Pier.
Our Classic 7” has been redesigned with changes to all internals to incorporate many new technologies that
we’ve borrowed from our exiting aerospace and surveillance satellite experience. All of our internal stainless
components are now titanium. To refine internal components to rapidly chill our optics and dissipate heat, we have
done extensive heat transfer analysis. ( Fourier analysis for isotropic material analyzing conduction, convection and
radiation heat transfer, optimizing Emissivity, Prandtl number and Nusselt number)
The Questar Light Weight Classic Seven Barrel includes Blue and Black anodized precision machined
lightened Aluminum and Titanium components 2540mm EFL f/14 tube assembly and tripod mount, Star Chart barrel
skin, lens cap, 16mm (159-318x) and 24mm (106-212x) eyepieces, New Control box multi port selector, with built-in
internal 2x barlow lens for eyepiece port, star-diagonal mirror, built-in finder, axial photographic port and eyepiece
port allowing 2” type eyepieces. Basic camera coupling set, thread on dewcap with Moon Map and ABS sealed
carrying case with wheels and handle. Weight of barrel assembly 19 lbs., in ABS sealed carrying case 35 lbs.
Shipping weight 65 lbs

PHOTOGRAPHIC
FIELD OF VIEW: 1°15'
FINDER LENS: 23mm Ø, 184mm FL, 7x and 14x with 24mm and 16 mm eyepiece
ERECTING SYSTEM: BK-7 AlSiO coated Mirror Diagonal internally mounted in control box
EYEPIECES: Will support both 1-1/4 and 2” type. Unit ships with 1-1/4 24mm Brandon,

stability) AlSiO coated, 7.600" dia.
SPECIAL COATINGS: On special order, broad-band dielectric coating applied to the mirror, which
increases its reflectivity. To both sides of front lens, a very low reflection
coating is then applied which reduces the light loss at each surface to less

improves total light grasp by approximately 22%

anodized
REAR CLOSURE PLATE: Precision machined and matched to barrel with special CNC milled internal
surfaces to increase heat transfer and lighten weight, Aluminum 2024-T4,
Blue anodized
MAIN TUBE MOUNTING
PLATE: Precision machined Titanium

FOCUSING MECHANISM: Mirror Thimble, precision machined Titanium, rides on
bearing, linear ball type, over a fixed, hardened and ground Titanium
light baffle tube. Conical stainless steel spring-loaded. Focus rod stainless
steel ground shaft with precision ground ¼-32 threads.
TRIPOD MOUNT Precision machined, matched and fixed mounted to barrel, with special
CNC milled internal surfaces to lighten weight. Aluminum 6064 and
Anodized. Has ¼-20 and 3/8-16 threaded hole for mounting to tripods.
CONTROL BOX: Precision machined and matched to barrel with special CNC milled inter-
nal surfaces increase heat transfer and lighten weight, Cast Aluminum 505,
special aluminum paint and clear over coated with internal anti reflective
black paint.
KNOBS: Aluminum 2024-T4, turned on turret lathe. Stainless steel shafts and
levers.
DIMENSIONS: Maximum length with control box 22.6”
Optical Center Line 5.6”
Maximum diameter 8.03”
Barrel Assembly weight 19 lbs.
Case Weight 32 lbs.

看本产品时,请带防毒面具! :geek: :ugeek: :? :shock: :o :D :lol:

个人的感觉:

美国业余天文器材的分布,顶级光学在东部-五大湖区,机械在中西部,电子CCD领域的企业多在太平洋沿岸。

在Astrophysics尚未出現時,市場沒有什麼大口徑APO折射鏡供應,那馬克蘇托夫這類行星月面雙星專科鏡(或偏科)是有其威力的,但也其代價。

先不說性能上的實際情況,馬卡的死症是特別窄小的視場,想用低倍看個大面積深空,如雙星團、仙女座大星系等是無望了。

若以Maksutov系的望遠鏡來說,Maksutov Newtonian即馬牛是比較實用的,理論值的成像一樣好,彗像差比牛頓鏡少四倍、比施密特牛頓少兩倍,即一台f5光圈的馬牛跟f8的牛頓相若,可以想像同時照顧行星月面之餘,直接拍深空也問題不大。

剛在Cloudynights有一個討論,幾位同時擁有100折射鏡及Questar 3.5的愛好都一致認為折射鏡在每一方面都優勝過Questar,其中一位甚至測試過TV85更好。

http://www.cloudynights.com/ubbthreads/ ... ll/fpart/1

兩者的可用視場分別之鉅不用再談了,像質則聽人家的實際經驗吧。

若100mm折射鏡在每一方面都優於90mm的Questar 3.5,那你心目中的神物Questar 7跟175APO比會如何?

Questar如何的好,但先天還是一台馬卡啊。

恩,我想 TMB 100/F8 在那个环境下也能分辨出天狼伴星吧。

還是那一句,有中央遮蔽但沒有牛頓那樣的副鏡支架,在觀測雙星是有點優勢的,因為埃利盤部份光量掉到衍射環上而變得細小及暗淡了,伴星也會較容易看得出來,但這對月面行星甚至深空天體都是有害無益的,也許只能說,若中小口徑能看到天狼伴星,那鏡的眩光及內反射等控制得很好吧。

當談及什麼Strehl 99%時,埃利盤的光量已集中到接近物理極限,反過來更不利觀測雙星。問題是,究竟你想的觀測是一種更傳真的雙星或人工化了的?
