ASA H400
Lightweight and compact, ideal for astronomical widefield imaging
Fast, high resolution wide field pictures of the night sky
This fact made the hyperbolic ASA telescope of choice for the professional project Super Wasp II, a program searching for EXO-planets, which is supported by eight universities, including the Universities of Geneva, Leicester, Queens Belfast, Warwick and the German Space Agency DLR at Berlin.
