iOptron Photron RC6 6-inch Ritchey-Chrétien optical tube
Our experts review the latest kit
The Photron RC6 is the smallest telescope in iOptron’s Photron RC range, and this review looks at how it performs when used with eyepieces and a camera.
When the Photron RC6 arrived, we immediately inspected the alignment of the mirrors. These are initially collimated at the factory, and then Rother Valley Optics (the supplier of the review model) re-checks each telescope on an optical test bench. Our initial check was conducted during the day with a Cheshire eyepiece, and then we re-tested the alignment using a suitable star once darkness had fallen. The tests confirmed the review model was in good condition
