Ritchey-Chrétien (RC) telescopes are highly prized for their excellent optical performance, especially for astrophotography. At the same time however RCs were always very expensive. To change this the well-known US-based distributor “Astro-Tech” asked GSO to produce true RC telescopes. GSO is best known for their excellent Newtonian optics which they have built for many years now.
