The Apochromat Doublet

Featuring TrueColor lens elements, the apochromat doublet is expertly crafted using OHARA FPL-53 and S-NBM51 glass. These ED glass types offer superior light transmission and a high contrast, sharp image. The S-NBM51 glass, typically used in advanced imaging microscopes, provides you with remarkable detail on celestial bodies.

Carbon Fibre Tube

This telescope is not only perfect for visual observing but is also optimized for astrophotography. The carbon fibre tube is lightweight, making it suitable for smaller mounts, while its high stability and minimal thermal expansion ensure that your focus remains stable all night. The carbon fibre dew shield is extendable and lined with black felt for added protection.

The Focuser

Equipped with a modern Crayford style focuser, this telescope offers absolute precision and can support accessories up to 10kg. The focuser's 1:11 reduction ratio delivers fine adjustments for precise focusing. It is fully rotatable, allowing for a 360° rotation to accommodate your astrophotography needs without vignetting, even with full-format cameras.

Carrying Case Included

Your investment is protected with a robust aluminium carrying case. With handles and metal fittings, this case is designed to withstand movement and features precision-cut foam to keep your telescope secure and in perfect condition.
