The idea of combining the advantages of Cassegrain and Newtonian configurations in one instrument has been around for a long time but with very few examples commercially available. Thus it was not so much a novelty of telescope optics, but rather the result of a long held need for the ideal all-round telescope for the amateur use that gave birth to the Takahashi CN-212. The optical principle of the CN-212 is simple yet clever. From a primary short focus parabolic mirror, pierced centrally, different optical configurations are possible depending on the secondary mirror placed in the light cone. Here we have two telescopes in one, an f/12.4 Cassegrain as the basic configuration, with a hyperbolic secondary mirror for high resolution work, or when you require, by simply replacing the secondary mirror and coupled with a low profile 2" eyepiece adaptor and associated field corrector, you transform your instrument into a brilliant wide field Newtonian with a focal ratio of f/3.9.

The C-400 16" f/14 Classical Cassegrain is part of Takahashi's Observatory Series telescopes designed primarily for research and educational institutions. This telescope comes standard with a removable f/10.4 focal reducer where a wider field of view is required. Because the C-400 employs the Classical Cassegrain configuration with a parabolic primary mirror and hyperbolic secondary, extremely high resolution can be obtained without sacrificing contrast or a flat field. Secondary obstruction is only 29% with this instrument as compared to 40% or greater with typical Ritchey-Chretien Cassegrains. As with the FCT-200 and FCT-250 Observatory fluorite refractors, this instrument is designed for rigorous research applications and is constructed with meticulous craftsmanship throughout. The optical tube assembly weighs 165lbs. so a heavy-duty, permanent equatorial mount with high-precision Go-To slewing such as Takahashi's Temma EM-2500 or EM-3500 (illustrated) is recommended for most applications. Since this is a custom made telescope, each instrument is made to order and delivery times may vary. Product # call
