Fast native flat-field imaging

The Sky Rover 90SAP is a purpose-built 90 mm f/5 Petzval astrograph designed for medium-format astrophotography. Its air-spaced quintuplet optics produce a native flat field across a large 55 mm image circle, letting you build a simpler imaging train without adding a separate field flattener.

Wide, fast optics for deep-sky framing

A 90 mm aperture and 450 mm focal length at f/5 give a wide, fast imaging platform well suited to large nebulae and rich star fields. The speed helps reduce exposure times while the Petzval design aims to deliver strong edge-to-edge correction across the usable field.

Native flat field and 55 mm image circle

The 90SAP’s air-spaced quintuplet Petzval layout is specified to provide a naturally flat focal plane and a 55 mm image circle. That reduces the need for a separate field flattener and simplifies back-focus calculations when building an imaging train.

Precise dual-speed focuser with ample travel

A 3.3-inch dual-speed rack-and-pinion focuser gives fine control when framing and focusing, with 38 mm of effective travel to accommodate a range of camera bodies and adapters. This helps with precise focus and managing different sensor stack heights.

Imaging-ready mechanical fittings

The OTA ships with tube rings, a Vixen-style dovetail plate, a multi-function handle and dual finder bases, so you have the mounting hardware to start assembling an imaging rig. The CNC tube and included accessories aim to provide a rigid, repeatable platform for cameras and guiding gear.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a separate field flattener with the 90SAP?

No. The 90SAP is designed with a native flat field using an air-spaced quintuplet Petzval design and a 55 mm image circle, so a separate field flattener is not required for the intended medium-format imaging area.

What focal length and focal ratio does this telescope have?

The 90SAP has a focal length of 450 mm and a focal ratio of f/5.

What is the usable image circle for cameras?

The telescope provides a 55 mm image circle, with pinpoint star performance stated within a 44 mm area of that overall circle.

What focuser does the 90SAP use and how much travel is available?

It uses a 3.3-inch dual-speed rack-and-pinion focuser with 38 mm of effective travel.

What mounting hardware is included in the package?

The package includes the Sky Rover 90SAP OTA, tube rings, a Vixen-style dovetail plate, a multi-function handle, dual finder bases, and a soft carry bag.

Is the 90SAP suitable for visual observing with diagonals and eyepieces?

No. The 90SAP is designed as a dedicated imaging telescope and is not intended for use with visual accessories such as diagonal mirrors.

What camera interfaces are supported?

Camera interfaces listed are M63x1, M54x0.75 and M48x0.75.

What are the physical size and weight of the OTA?

With the dew shield contracted the length is 443 mm, extended it is 566 mm. The OTA weight is 4.5 kg and gross weight with tube ring and dovetail is 5.5 kg.
