Pier-14
Description
Borg's little pocket rocket, 55mm of F/3.6 superfast well corrected astrograph.At Roboscopes we are huge Borg fans and own several personally, they are a very high quality brand without the huge price tag of some other Japanese brands whilst still managing to deliver 90% of the benefits of the couture brands.
Fitted with a Player One Poseidon CMOS APS-c Mono Camera & Astronomik LRGBHOS 6nm high quality filters
Unlike most short focal length fast scopes, this still delivers reasonable stars in the corners, even with larger sensors!
In most cases the maximum sub length we will do on this pier is 300s, for most of the brighter objects shorter subs will be better however
