JMI says good-bye to the first NTT-40.
The NTT-40 all wrapped up and ready for the road trip to New York.  Its new home is the State University of New York, College at Oneonta.
Just another picture of the NTT-40.
With the folded optics of the NTT-40, the eyepiece height is relatively very low.


What is a New Technology Telescope?

The New Technology Telescope (NTT) is an altitude-azimuth (alt-az) Newtonian with folded optics and Go-To electronics.  The NTT-40 is a 1 meter or 40" (f/4) system suitable for both visual work and short-exposure photography (no field de-rotation).  It includes the StellarCAT ServoCAT Jr. Track/GOTO (which is compatible with Go-To computers and planetarium software) and the NGC-superMAX (Argo Navis™) Go-To computer, open Serrurier truss rod design, compact size and JMI's celebrated quality construction.
