The Sky Rover 110 SAW is a specialist wide-field astrograph designed to deliver high imaging performance in a fast, integrated optical system. With a 110 mm aperture, 528 mm focal length, and f/4.8 focal ratio, it is built for full-frame astrophotography while maintaining strong mechanical stability and reliability.
Rather than using a conventional telescope-plus-reducer layout, the 110 SAW uses a two-group integrated optical design with a triplet front group and a four-element rear group. Sky Rover states that this improves stability and reliability compared to more widely separated designs, while helping preserve the telescope's imaging quality and vibration resistance.
One of the standout features of the 110 SAW is its built-in flat-field design, which supports full-frame imaging without needing a separate field flattener. Sky Rover specifies a 45 mm image circle and highlights strong field flatness with minimal vignetting at the edges of full-frame sensors.
The 110 SAW uses a shorter back working distance than conventional reducer-based systems to improve rigidity and stability. It also includes a fine-adjustment back focus system, with a 55 mm nominal back focus at the M48 interface and a 75 mm nominal back focus at the M54 interface, both with slight adjustability for real-world imaging optimisation.
The telescope is fitted with a 3.2-inch dual-speed rack-and-pinion focuser with 38 mm of effective travel. Sky Rover also includes an integrated CAA, multiple accessory mounting points, a finder base, tube rings, and a multi-function handle, making it easier to build a complete imaging rig around the telescope.
The 110 SAW is a dedicated astrograph and cannot be used with visual accessories such as a diagonal. Sky Rover also warns that the front and rear optical groups are factory matched and should not be separated.
