TS Optics Apochromatic refractor AP 60/360 ED TSMPT60 OTA (79714)

The TS Optics Apochromatic Refractor AP 60/360 ED TSMPT60 OTA is a compact and highly adaptable telescope designed for advanced users who require flexibility for both visual observation and astrophotography. Its ED doublet lens with multi-coating ensures sharp, high-contrast images with excellent correction of chromatic aberrations. The mechanical design allows this telescope to serve as an angle finder, a straight-view finder or guiding scope, and as a 360 mm f/6 APO telephoto lens for imaging. This makes it an excellent choice for those seeking a portable and multi-functional instrument for various astronomical applications.

Versatile usage options:

• Use as an angle finder with a 1.25" star diagonal or Amici prism by attaching the internal extension and 1.25" helical focuser, compatible with all standard 1.25" eyepieces.

• Use as a straight-view finder or guiding scope by extending the internal extension and connecting the 1.25" helical focuser, suitable for eyepieces or autoguiding cameras.

• Use as a 360 mm f/6 APO telephoto lens for photography by removing the helical focuser, attaching the optional 1.0x corrector, and connecting a camera via the M48 thread. Focusing is achieved by rotating the ED objective mount, allowing for extremely precise adjustments.

TS Optics is a brand of Teleskop-Service.
