D76F300 Astronomical Telescope Reflector Objective Reflection Primary Mirror

D76F300 Astronomical Telescope Reflector Objective Reflection Primary Mirror

D76F300 is a Newtonian reflection primary mirror for astronomical telescopes with a 76 mm diameter and 300 mm focal length. It features a spherical surface coated with aluminum and protective foils, and is designed for use with a secondary mirror of 20 mm minor axis. The mirror has a surface accuracy of 1/6 wavelength.

  • 76 mm diameter and 300 mm focal length provide a balanced aperture for amateur and educational astronomy
  • Spherical surface simplifies fabrication and alignment for beginner to intermediate telescope builders
  • Aluminum coating with protective foils ensures high reflectivity and long-term durability
  • 1/6 wavelength surface accuracy supports clear image formation for visual and basic imaging use
  • Compatible with standard secondary mirrors (20 mm minor axis) in Newtonian telescope designs

FAQ

What is the focal ratio of this mirror?
Focal ratio is F/3.9 (300 mm focal length / 76 mm diameter).
Is this mirror suitable for astrophotography?
It can be used for basic visual astronomy and simple imaging, but spherical aberration may limit performance for detailed astrophotography.
Can I use this mirror with a parabolic secondary?
No. The secondary mirror must be compatible with a spherical primary; standard Newtonian secondaries are designed for spherical mirrors.
What is the surface accuracy and how does it affect image quality?
1/6 wavelength accuracy means the surface deviation is within 1/6 of the light wavelength, suitable for visual use and basic imaging.
How should I handle the mirror to avoid damage?
Always wear gloves, avoid touching the coated surface, and store in a protective case to prevent scratches or contamination.
