Apochromats are in the small and medium opening range, the measure of all things: the combination of good transportability, very high image contrast and sharpness with the excellent possibilities that these devices offer for astrophotography, can not be beaten here. The advances in glass manufacturing have made high-quality apochromats possible in recent years for ever-wider shoppers. With the new Explore Scientific FCD-100 Alu Hex, this development has reached another high point - the color purity of this device sets new standards in this price range. The optics design reaches a polystrehl of 0.97 - a value that stands for the highest correction.
This excellent Apochromat is a versatile device: the fast aperture ratio of f / 7 allows short exposure times in astrophotography, the high image sharpness and the excellent contrast make overview observations such as the North American fog or Andromeda galaxy possible as well as crisp planetary observations. The device is extremely light and compact - the Tauschutzkappe can be inserted and thus achieves a highly transport-friendly pack size. State-of-the-art glasses and the most careful production have created telescopes that offer pure observation fun at the highest level. Thus, this telescope is not only recommended as a travel telescope unrestricted, but also for rapid observation in between, as well as for astrophotography. The high-quality 2.5 "focuser with 1:10 reduction completes the picture of this allround device - the large free diameter of 65mm does not cause vignetting through the focuser even with astrophotography with larger chips, as can be the case with smaller diameters.
