Features of the UL32sg

Revolutionary Smart Finder For both Visual and EAA/Astrography

Our revolutionary smart finder takes GoTo telescope to the next level. Simply use GoTo as you normally would—via the smart hand pad or third-party apps like SkySafari, Stellarium, and then with one press of a button, the telescope will capture an image, plate solve and quickly correct its position for pinpoint accuracy, and announce that the target has been reached—via the app or a connected speaker Even better, the UL32sg can run automated multiple star alignments and automated "Star Shows", such as the Messier Marathon or "The 100 Most Popular Objects You Can See Now.", and much more. Its advanced routing system reduces slewing time by 30-50%, maximizing your observing experience. Beyond visual observation, the system also supports EAA with live stacking, unlocking even more possibilities for astrophotography and deep-sky exploration. The future of smart astronomy is here—experience it with the UL32sg.

Exclusive Sandwich Mirror Technology

Why is thermal equilibrium so critical? The main issue is "mirror seeing," the turbulence seen through the eyepiece of the telescope when the air above the mirror is different from the mirror itself. Since a sandwich mirror cools far more rapidly than a solid mirror of the same thickness, this major source of distortion is eliminated quickly, giving you sharp and stable views. With ever- changing temperatures during observing or imaging, your thick and solid mirror may never reach equilibrium, and never reach its full optical potential. This is one of the major reasons why our lightweight-sandwich mirror has superior optical performance in real world situations, even without an active cooling system. (Active cooling systems, such as fans, introduce their own problems, such as micro vibration, which may seriously degrade the image quality.) Our sandwich mirrors reach equilibrium extremely fast, and without any external disturbing aid.

Enhanced Optical Coatings

Both the Hubble UL32sg primary and secondary mirrors are coated with 96% Enhanced optical coatings to assure it collects as many (while scattering as little) photons as possible to focus it into a bright and contrast-rich image. The optimal 96% enhanced coating has multiple over- coatings of precision controlled dielectric layers to maximize the reflectivity and provide excellent chemical and mechanical protection for the mirror coating..

A Real Mirror Cell in a Real Mirror Box

The UL32sg has an extensively modeled and optimized 27-point flotation system and both sling and 90 degree pivoting lateral supports that provides excellent support for the 32-inch sandwich mirror. The three-point rod-end with easy two front access collimation system is completely independent from the lateral support. It will totally eliminate the often-found potato chip astigmatism introduced when using the simple 3 pivoted bolts collimation system. In a simple pivoted bolts collimation system, the collimation of the primary mirror may cause the sling belt to pull the mirror axially on the mirror edge, bending the mirror to a potato- chip shape, causing annoying astigmatism. It also comes with a real mirror box for easy and safe mirror protection and transportation.

All Metal Construction

The UL32sg mechanical structures have been extensively modeled via 3D CAD and advanced FEA to provide the optimal structure strength and stability. Machined with Computer Numerical Control (CNC) technology and hand fitted to assure proper fit and finish. We use T6063-T3 aluminum alloy truss tubes, structure steel mirror cell and aluminum alloy OTA and mount structure, complete with a deluxe and environmentally friendly black powder coating. As a whole, the structure is such a pleasure to look at, not to mention the enjoyment to look through!

Dual-Speed 2-inch Linear Drive Crayford Focuser

The Hubble UL32sg comes with a precision dual-speed, 2-inch diameter focuser. It's a beautiful piece of precision machining that enhances the viewing experience as well as the overall impression of a premium quality instrument you'll have with this telescope. This focuser is a robust zero-backlash "Crayford-style" design further enhanced with modern "linear bearings" meaning you get a rock-solid, super smooth focusing experience that can handle the weight of even the heaviest of modern eyepieces. Its tension (the pressure on the draw tube) is preset to a very reasonable level, but also adjustable to lock heavy equipment in place if desired. The smaller stainless steel focus control adjusts focus at a rate 10 times finer than the larger focus wheels. This fine adjustment allows for critical focusing during high power visual observing or for imaging applications. The focuser has about 50mm of travel distance.
