ZWO 107mm f/7 APO astrograph
The FF107 is a flatfield astrograph, part of the range that also includes the FF65, FF80 and FF130 models.
Optical design
Instead of buying additional flatteners, calculating the back focus of the flattener, or making a tedious connection to set the correct distance, astrophotographers can simply equip it with all sorts of photographic accessories, keep the object in focus, and then the entire optical system is perfect for the figure set.
High quality glasses
The FF107 has an aperture ratio of 1:7 and a focal length of 740mm. The FF107 is a quadruplet design with two ED lenses, allowing excellent control of chromatic and other aberrations. With its self-leveling design, the FF107 offers great advantages for astronomical photography. It offers more than the full-frame image circle and has a fine spot diagram with only tiny distortions of the peripheral stars.
Practical details
The FF107 comes with an extendable dew cap, a high quality CNC milled and painted tube and decoratively designed parts. The OTA weighs 5.7 kg, the entire package with pipe clamps etc. weighs 6.9 kg. The sturdy 3" focuser comes with a 360° rotator with dials and a viewfinder shoe. M76, M68, M54 and M48 camera adapters are also included, and the M48 adapter has an M48 female thread for installing 2" filters.
