This excellent device is the largest representative of a new line of apochromatic refractors from EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC. The completely redesigned optics was developed around the FPL-53 special glass and provides excellent sharpness and contrast without color errors. The fast aperture ratio of f / 7 for such a large refractor predestines this Apo also for use in astrophotography. For this reason, one of the world's best available focusers was installed - the high stability and precision of the 3 "Feathertouch focuser makes focusing very easy, and unwanted movements of the sensor during the exposure time are reliably excluded. The result of this interaction of excellent Optics, high-quality mechanics and relatively low weight is an extremely versatile telescope that leaves nothing to be desired in the observation of planets and the moon, as well as in the field of astrophotography, even for the most demanding amateur astronomy.
