Explore Scientific ED Apo 152mm with carbon fiber tube, optical viewfinder and carrying case. Since the weight of the optics is a critical factor, especially in photography, the 152mm ED Apochromat with carbon tube is available! The optics with dew cap and pipe clamps now only weigh 10.2 kg, which is almost 4 kg lighter than the predecessor! The tube length has been optimized so that accessories with a critical focus position can also be used. The three-lens construction with Hoya FCD01-ED special glass and two air gaps enables a correction that is clearly visible above the level of the two-lens ED-Apos, which are otherwise available in this price range. A calculated polystyrene of over 0.9 speaks a very clear language compared to the 0.8x possible with two lenses. An excellent transport case is also included in the scope of delivery. With all Explore Scientific ED apochromats, a triplet lens with air gap and Hoya "FCD-1 special glass ensures excellent imaging performance with visual use and photography. A 3" Hexafoc focuser with 10: 1 reduction ensures vignetting-free photography.
