D203F1600 Newton Reflector Objective Primary Mirror Astronomical Telescope

D203F1600 Newton Reflector Objective Primary Mirror Astronomical Telescope

D203F1600 is a Newton reflector objective primary mirror for astronomical telescopes with a 203 mm caliber and 1600 mm focal length. The mirror is spherical, aluminized with a protective film, and designed for DIY telescope builders. It includes a 40 mm minor axis (short side diameter) secondary mirror for use in standard Newtonian configurations.

  • 203 mm aperture provides high light-gathering capacity for deep-sky and planetary observation
  • 1600 mm focal length enables long focal ratio systems suitable for high-magnification imaging
  • Spherical mirror design simplifies fabrication and alignment for amateur telescope makers
  • Aluminized surface with protective film ensures high reflectivity and durability
  • Integrated 40 mm minor axis secondary mirror supports standard Newtonian optical alignment

FAQ

What type of telescope is this mirror for?
Designed for Newtonian reflector telescopes with a 203 mm aperture and 1600 mm focal length.
Is the mirror parabolic or spherical?
It is a spherical mirror, not parabolic.
Can I use this mirror for astrophotography?
Yes, but spherical mirrors introduce spherical aberration; a corrector plate is recommended for sharp imaging.
What is the minor axis of the secondary mirror?
40 mm (short side diameter), standard for Newtonian systems of this size.
Is the coating durable?
Yes, the aluminized surface has a protective film to prevent oxidation and damage during handling and storage.
