Explore 66 MA

Compact, flat-field imaging

A small astrograph built for both imaging and visual observing. The Sky Rover 66MA combines a triplet objective and integrated field flattener so prime-focus imaging can cover full-frame sensors natively. Its 66 mm aperture and f/7 speed keep the tube small and forgiving at the eyepiece and camera.

Native flat-field prime-focus imaging

The optical design integrates a crescent-shaped field flattener with a triplet objective, producing a native flat field so full-frame sensors can be used at prime focus. That means you do not need to calculate additional back focus to reach a flat image plane when using the camera at prime focus.

Dual ED glass for better colour control

The front lens group uses two ED glass elements to reduce chromatic aberration and improve colour correction. This helps deliver finer star images and improved contrast, which benefits both widefield imaging and high-detail visual views.

Designed for visual use as well as imaging

Unlike many compact astrographs, the 66MA accepts standard visual accessories including diagonals and eyepieces. It can also accommodate binoviewers when you add an extender, so the scope functions as a flexible small refractor for both observing and photography.

Practical mechanics and optional reducer

A 3.2-inch dual-speed rack-and-pinion focuser gives fine control for critical focusing, and the f/7 focal ratio makes focus less demanding overall. A 0.8x reducer is available to widen the field while keeping the system flat, and a compact flange ring is included for imaging focus adjustment.

Common questions

Can the 66MA cover a full-frame sensor at prime focus?

Yes. The 66MA is a native flat-field design that supports full-frame imaging directly at prime focus, with no back-focus calculation required.

Does it include a field flattener or reducer?

The optical system has an integrated field flattener as part of the triplet objective. A 0.8x reducer is listed as an available optional accessory, not included in the standard package.

Can I use eyepieces, diagonals or binoviewers with this scope?

Yes. The 66MA is designed to accept standard visual accessories, including diagonals and eyepieces. Binoviewer use is possible when combined with an extender.

What focuser does the 66MA use?

It uses a 3.2-inch dual-speed rack-and-pinion focuser to provide coarse and fine focus control for both visual and imaging use.

What comes in the box with the OTA?

The package includes the Sky Rover 66MA OTA, tube rings, a Vixen-style dovetail plate, a handle, a finder base, and a soft carry bag.
