ODK20

The ODK Series

ODK20

From: £23,760.00 excl. VAT

Because of many, many possible clients asking us for a larger model in the ODK range we are now in the process of offering a 500mm model with a carbon truss type tube.

We made two similar models to the one we have now in production and these were supplied to the ESO and ENO observatories.

Brief specification of the ODK20 is shown it the table top right, it is indeed a marvellous instrument and is based around a design which has supplied data to assist in the control of these two enormous main instruments iat the Canary Islands and Paranal observatories.

As a minimum we recommend a Paramount ME to compliment the ‘scope or mount with similar carrying capacity.

We expect to customise several aspects of every model to your own specifications. We do not wish to impose a fixed design if a few modifications could suit your needs better. Prices quoted are for standard specification as above.
