A feat not found on optical tubes of the same type. You also get collimation screws to align the 99% reflective dielectric coated secondary Quartz mirror for perfect collimation. There is also two Losmandy D type Dove tail on top and bottom of the Mallincam Telescope optical tube for solid rigid mounting.
The Mallincam VRC 8" Ritchey-Chretien Optical Tube comes complete with Carbon Fiber tube for zero expansion of the optical tube. Coupled with both mirrors made of Quartz, the Mallincam Telescope VRC 8 provide a temperature stable optical system that will keep its collimation and focus all night long.
Don'''t forget... We carry many fine Mallincam Accessories, too!
