Omegon Pro APO AP 80/500 ED Carbon OTA Apochromatic Refractor

The optics

The Omegon ED apore fracturer stands for excellent optics, well thought-out design and high-quality mechanics. This very special telescope offers astrophotographers, visual observers or nature lovers a unique enjoyment of the starry sky and nature. Needle-sharp stars right into the edge regions of the field of vision are just as much a given as excellent mechanical precision.

Power linear extension with 1:10 reduction

A new improved focuser makes your observation and photography even more pleasant and precise. The Power Linear extension is based on the Crayford principle, but also has a rack as a guide rail. The combination of these two technologies makes the focuser precise and particularly strong. Diagonal mirror, a heavy eyepiece or a whole camera equipment: just connect whatever comes to mind.

It even supports accessories weighing up to 10kg, this is achieved by activating an additional lock screw. Even when applied with great force, the focuser no longer moves a millimeter: once you have found the focus, it no longer changes, even if you change the position of the telescope in the sky.

 

A 1:10 reduction offers you precise focusing - a must for astrophotography or high magnifications. Do you also take photos with full-format chips or do you plan to do so in the future? Even with full-format cameras, the objects are recorded without vignetting. The entire focuser is rotatable: loosen the locking screw and 360° rotation is possible.

Transport case included

The included aluminum case is an ideal storage place for the valuable optics. Ultra-stable, with carrying handles and metal fittings, it can easily withstand many shocks. Inside there are precisely cut foam shapes that hold the tube exactly as you inserted it.

The advantages at a glance:

    Multi-coating on all optical surfaces
    sophisticated aperture system to prevent reflections
    very high contrast and pin-fine star images
    Light and stable: tube made of carbon
    Carbon dew cap lined with felt
    Fine focusing: focuser with 1:10 reduction and protective cap
