ToupTek HOPE D60: Professional Astrophotography Telescope!
The ToupTek HOPE D60 is a high-performance, ultra-compact 60mm f/4.66 flat-field astrograph engineered to take the complexity out of wide-field deep-sky imaging. Featuring an advanced 5-element Planar Apochromatic (PAPO) optical design utilizing specialized SD and lanthanum glass, this premium refractor delivers near-zero chromatic aberration and breathtaking, diffraction-limited clarity.
Designed with a native built-in field flattener, the HOPE D60 completely eliminates the need for external corrective elements or frustrating back-focus math, producing a fully corrected 44mm image circle with pinpoint, round stars right to the corners of your full-frame sensor. Complete with a robust, zero-backlash 3-inch focuser, a 360-degree camera angle adjuster, and a travel-friendly retractable magnetic dew shield, this rugged, CNC-machined telescope is the ultimate turn-key solution for astrophotographers seeking flawless data and effortless portability.
Note: Telescope OTA only. Additional accessories shown are for illustrative purposes only and are sold separately.
The HOPE D60 Unmissable Features!
3-inch Focuser
The 3-inch focuser with a 30mm travel allows for both coarse and fine adjustments. Manual focusing or using an electric focuser is precise with no backlash. A focus position window with a clear scale ruler allows quick determination of focus position and improves efficiency.
PAPO Optics
Featuring a 5-element Planar Apochromatic (PAPO) design utilizing premium SD and lanthanum glass to eliminate chromatic aberration across a wide spectrum. This includes a native built-in flattener, delivering a flat, distortion-free 44mm image circle with pinpoint stars across full-frame sensors without the need to calculate complex back-focus.
Note: Because the telescope's focal plane position and working distance have been precisely engineered, the use of a star diagonal for visual observation is not recommended.
Easy Framing
The camera angle adjuster enables 360° rotation without disassembling equipment, enabling easy and flexible framing. While the tilt plate ensures every corner of the image achieves perfect focus simultaneously.
Multi-function Handle
This handle supports the connection of diverse accessories for expanded capabilities. Built with an integrated dovetail bar and pre-drilled side slots, the OTA offers stable support and effortless accessory integration, unlocking the full expansion potential.
Stray Light Protection
The interior lens tube features a blackened treatment to effectively suppress stray light, ensuring clean and clear images. A retractable lens hood blocks light interference and improves image contrast and uniformity.
The magnetic positioning allows for a one-second and secure attachment. When retracted, the overall size is reduced for improved portability.
Dovetail Design
The base is embedded with a riser block and features multiple positioning slots. A VIXEN-style dovetail plate adapts to various equatorial and alt-azimuth mount systems. The central 3/8" threaded hole can be converted to a 1/4" threaded hole using the included accessories, enabling application in more scenarios like landscape and lunar photography.
Compatible with a Variety of Electric Focusers
The manual focus knob is removable, allowing for easy installation and enabling efficient automated focusing for photography. (EAF not included with telescope purchase)
Included Case
The entire telescope is compact and portable for taking on the go. With the lens hood retracted, it is only 255mm long, allowing it to fit neatly into a bag for easy storage and transport.Description
