Lacerta 80/500 ED-APO with 2 "Octo eyepiece extension and aluminum case

The LACERTA 80mm F / 6.25 FPL-53 ED-APO (manufactured with the 80mm EQUINOX lens) 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 80mm Apochromat fulfills high requirements even 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 / 6.25
- excellent optics, usually with strehl over 90%
- We would be pleased to make an optional test report (special price 99 €)
- less sensitive to adjustment problems than a triplet
- Harmonizes well with various field-leveling lenses and reducers (see test photo collection)
- 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 restrictions, 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)
- retractable exchange cap, compact for travel
- CNC metal tube and CNC machined interior panels
- light and portable
