Made for perfect astrophotos
The apochromat has arrived in modern times because the imaging from this telescope is nothing less than outstanding. The ED triplet apo lens with air gap ensures particularly high-contrast and pure-color images. At the heart of your astrophotography machine is the FCD-100 glass from Hoya from Japan, which is known for its low color deviation. You can also treat nebulae and planets to very high magnification: the images will remain clear and sharp.
A telescope for all astro enthusiasts who value high-quality images.

More about FCD-100:
Thanks to technological innovation, Hoya has successfully optimized the mass production of FCD-100. An optical glass with extremely low dispersion, which even comes close to fluorite. By combining it with an optical glass with a high refractive index, it has been possible to achieve a previously unattainable innovative chromatic aberration correction.

 

Large 2.5" focuser: precise and stable
The improved 2.5" hybrid eyepiece focuser makes observation and photography even more comfortable and precise. This focuser is based on the Crayford principle, but with an additional guide rail in the form of a rack with slanted grooves. The combination of these techniques makes the focuser particularly precise and still stable.
Simply connect whatever you want, from adapters to large eyepieces or heavy camera equipment: the Apo can carry equipment with a total weight of up to 10kg. Once the focus is set, it stays in place whenever the telescope moves.

360 degree rotatable: With the rotatable and lockable eyepiece focuser, aligning it with the photo object is very easy.

M63 thread connection (inside): In addition to the classic 2" (with 1.25" reducing adapter) connection for eyepieces and cameras, this instrument also offers a 63mm thread so that you can easily and stably fix a flattener or reducer.

The handle with double use
Simply clever: With the practical carrying handle, you always have your Apo safely in your hand. Whether during transport or when installing on the mount. The handle also serves as a mounting rail for accessories attached in parallel. So everything has its place: For example, use a guiding scope and guiding camera.
