SharpStar 94EDPH f/5.5 Triplet ED APO Telescope with SharpStar f/4.4 0.8x 94EDPH Reducer

The SharpStar 94 EDPH is a top-of-the-line astrograph renowned for its exceptional performance in both astrophotography and visual observations.

At the heart of this refractor lies an advanced ED triplet optical system with an air gap, crafted from FPL-53 glass. This cutting-edge design ensures unparalleled image quality while effectively minimizing chromatic aberrations. The standout feature of the 94 EDPH model is its impressive aperture value, which reaches f/4.4 when combined with the focal length reducer.

The dedicated 0.8x reducer allows for a significant reduction in focal length, bringing it down to a mere 414 mm. Engineered as a quadruplet with an additional ED glass element, this reducer produces a full illumination circle with a generous diameter of 55 mm. Consequently, it delivers vignette-free images even on full-frame sensors. Moreover, it facilitates the easy use of 2" diameter filters without compromising the 55 mm back focus.

Beyond its exceptional optical parameters, the SharpStar 94 EDPH boasts outstanding mechanical precision and quality. Equipped with a robust rack & pinion focuser, it accommodates even the heaviest astronomical cameras effortlessly. The CNC-machined mounting rings and Vixen foot ensure rock-solid stability for the telescope.
