Product description

More about the series Essential Line...

This apochromat has everything required to make any astrophotographer’s heart race - and for a reasonable price.

The three-element construction from special FCD-1-ED glass by Hoya, Japan, and two air gaps create a corrector which is considerably higher quality than two-element ED apochromats available in this price range. A calculated polystrehl value of over 0.9 produces a much clearer image than the 0.8 which can be obtained using two lenses. This outstanding image performance, combined with a sturdy mechanism, creates a package which leaves nothing to be desired.

An optional field flattener accessory for photography is also available - this means the instrument can be used for photography with no restrictions. The tube length has been optimised so that accessories with critical focal positions can also be used.

It not only matters which telescope you buy but also where you buy it. Our additional services:

  • We are a leading telescope dealer and know the devices we sell. Our customer service team will gladly help you after your purchase if you have problems with assembly or operation.
  • We provide a copy of the 80-page Telescope ABC beginners handbook with every telescope.
