Lacerta 72/432 Quadruplet Flatfield ED-APO (2 + 2 lenses) with 2 "Octo eyepiece focuser and flattener

The LACERTA 72mm F / 6 FPL-53 ED-APO closes the gap between the inexpensive ED doublets and the more expensive and heavier triplet apochromats. Astrofotographers who attach importance to a particularly colorless image are best served with this APO. For the two-lens ED lens, the best possible glass combination was chosen, which is currently available for an ED-Doublet (FPL53 with NBM51 partner glass). In the area of ​​the sky observation, the travel-ready and compact device offers a very good performance - and harmonizes very well with different image field lenses and reducers. Ask us!

The Lacerta 72mm Apochromat fulfills high requirements also for nature observers: color purity and color fastness are a matter of course, both visually and photographically. The high-quality optical system paired with the new Octo eyepiece extension (guided on 8 ball bearings) promises success in demanding astrophotography. Even heavy cameras are held with good stability, the focus is very sensitive with the 1:10 microfokuser. It has a solid Vixen dovetail mounting rail with an integrated 1/4 "photo thread, which allows you to attach the unit to any good photoelectric beam.

ADVANTAGES:

- Lens: FPL53 glass from Ohara / Japan with NBM51 partner glass (best possible color correction with Doublet-ED)
- fast opening ratio of f / 6
- excellent optics, usually with strehl over 90%
- We are happy to produce a test report
- less sensitive to adjustment problems than a triplet
- Flattener screwed on both sides - no tilting!
- Working distance is 123mm from the back of the Flatteners, enough space for filter wheel or off-axis guider
- little vignetting and edge sharp with full format cameras (with Lacerta Flattener and 0,85x Reducer tested)
- Can be used with zenith mirrors and normal accessories without restriction, also for natural observation
- STM compensation (STM = superhigh-transmission)
- Eight ball-bearing "Octo" eyepiece extractor, carries cameras weighing up to 2kg safely and without slipping (eg. G2-8300)
- push-back cover, compact for travel (only 310mm short)
- CNC metal tube and CNC machined interior panels
- light and portable (only 2560 grammes)
- Tube diameter 87mm
- Dew cap diameter 95mm
