The NextGEN Series is the second generation of telecompressor lens systems designed by Optec. The
first generation was available for the early CCD cameras such as the SBIG ST-6 and Meade 416.
Improvements in CCD designed has warranted a complete redesign of our telecompressors which we offer
now. These designs have been optimized by the premier Zemax optical design program and are made to
the highest optical standards. All optical surfaces are polished to a 60-40 cosmetic quality and
coated with a hard broadband coating for maximum transmission and durability. No finer
telecompressor is available.
