Apochromatic telescope 152mm triplet for astrophotography

Apochromatic telescope 152mm triplet for astrophotography offers everything an advanced stargazer or astrophotographer desires: maximum sharpness, high contrast and impressive light output. With its large 152 mm aperture and 1200 mm focal length, this is a premium instrument for visual observations as well as high-resolution photography.

The high-quality air-gap triplet optics are constructed of ED glass (FCD-1) for optimal color correction. The adjustable lens cell allows the user to adjust collimation himself if necessary - unique in this price range. The smooth 2” Crayford focuser (1:10 microreduction) allows you to focus accurately even at high magnifications or heavy cameras.

✓ 152 mm FCD-1 triplet lens with adjustable lens mount
✓ For observatories, binoviewing and serious astrophotography
✓ Crayford focuser with fine adjustment and lock function
✓ Backfocus and tube length optimized for bino viewers
✓ Transport case with foam rubber included for safe storage

This telescope is ideally suited for a fixed observation site, but thanks to the sturdy aluminum transport case, it can also be used on the move. The robust mechanics, excellent image quality and fine handling make this a favorite among advanced observers.

Application

• Visual observation of planets, binary stars and clusters
• Deep-sky photography of nebulae and galaxies
• Suitable for observatories or fixed EQ mounts
• Compatible with binoviewers thanks to shortened tube and long focus path
