Orion Optics UK Wynne Corrector 3″ for AG Series Astrographs

This corrector uses an advanced four-element optical design, which includes a cemented doublet and special rare earth glass. This goes beyond more common three-element designs to provide a higher level of correction, resulting in a wider, flatter, and false-color-free field suitable for the most accurate primary mirrors.

Yes. While it is the standard corrector for all Orion Optics UK AG models, it was designed for versatility. It performs exceptionally well on a wide range of other manufacturers' telescopes, mirror sizes, and focal ratios. For custom systems, Orion Optics UK can provide specific spot diagrams to confirm its performance with your mirror.

On an AG12 or similar fast Newtonian, you can expect pinpoint stars across the entire imaging circle. The corrector is designed to eliminate off-axis coma, allowing you to take full advantage of large-format sensors without having to crop away distorted stars at the edges of the frame.

No, the corrector is engineered to be apochromatic. The choice of four special glass elements, including rare earth types, ensures that the focal plane is free of false color, preserving the natural hues of stars and celestial objects.

For expansive targets like the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) or the North American Nebula (NGC 7000), a wide, flat field is critical. This corrector ensures that stars remain tight and round from the galaxy's bright core all the way to the faint, outer spiral arms, allowing you to capture the entire object in a single, perfectly corrected frame.

Absolutely. It was designed and field-tested to be a world leader in imaging performance. It is intended for serious astrophotographers who use very accurate mirrors and cannot tolerate any degradation in image quality from their optical train.
