Explore 60 SA

Compact full-frame astrograph

A travel-friendly Petzval optimized for wide-field imaging. The 60 SA pairs a 60 mm aperture with a 300 mm focal length and a native 45 mm image circle so it can cover full-frame sensors without adding a separate flattener. Its compact size and integrated imaging features make it practical for field use on small mounts.

Petzval optics that flatten the field

The 60 SA uses a four-element Petzval design that builds field correction into the objective. That reduces the need for external flatteners or correctors, keeping the optical train shorter and simpler while delivering an image circle intended to cover full-frame sensors.

Wide coverage: 45 mm image circle

Sky Rover specifies a native 45 mm image circle, which is the stated size required to reach full-frame coverage at prime focus. That means you can plan imaging with full-frame sensors without calculating additional back-focus for a flattener in the standard configuration.

Imaging-ready focuser and interfaces

A 2.8-inch dual-speed rack-and-pinion focuser with integrated CAA provides 19 mm of travel tailored for astrophotography. The focuser end accepts M70 x 1 and M48 x 0.75 connections, simplifying attachment of camera adapters, rotators, or off-axis guiders without additional custom machining.

Small, light, and portable

With a 300 mm focal length, a tube length of about 265–340 mm depending on focus position, and an OTA weight near 3 kg, the 60 SA is designed to be easy to transport and mount. Standard fittings include a Vixen-style dovetail and a proprietary handle for field handling.

Overview

Compact Full-Frame Astrograph Performance

The Sky Rover 60 SA is a compact Petzval astrograph designed to deliver full-frame imaging capability in a highly portable format. With a 60 mm aperture, 300 mm focal length, and native 45 mm image circle, it is built for wide-field astrophotography without the need for a separate reducer or field flattener.

Native Petzval Design

One of the standout strengths of the 60 SA is its four-element Petzval optical design. Because the correction is built into the telescope itself, there is no need to add an external flattener, which keeps the system simpler, more compact, and easier to use.

Built for Imaging

The telescope is fitted with a 2.8-inch dual-speed rack-and-pinion focuser with an integrated CAA and 19 mm of total travel for astrophotography. The rear of the focuser provides both M70 x 1 and M48 x 0.75 interfaces, making it easier to integrate with imaging accessories.

Small, Portable, and Practical

With its short 300 mm focal length and compact physical size, the 60 SA is designed as a lightweight wide-field imaging scope that remains easy to transport and mount. Sky Rover also includes a Vixen dovetail plate and patented handle as part of the standard configuration.
