Product description

More about the series Pro APO...

Better astrophotos that help you discover the sky in a new way.
What is it that drives astrophotographers time and again? It is the fascination of depicting the sky in its most beautiful colours and shapes. With this triplet apochromat, you can do just that. The premium OHARA FPL-53 glass and a colour-pure image make for enjoyable observations with fine details that would not be possible with basic optics. Rediscover the sky.

The highlights at a glance:

  • 80mm Triplet ED Apo with three lenses, achieves apochromatic correction for stunningly clear and colour-pure images
  • 2.5" focuser with a 1:10 reduction ratio: to easily focus larger and heavier cameras with high precision
  • The camera rotates 360� so you can find the right orientation

Why optics with triplet lenses reveal more details
No more images without contrast. The triplet apochromat shows what is really possible: pure-colour and high-contrast observations and astrophotos. The key is a sophisticated three-lens design with premium OHARA FPL-53 glass for a crystal-clear image. Compared to most mirror systems, the better-defined optics allow you to see more and finer details when observing the planets, for example. All surfaces of the lens elements are treated with an effective multi-coating to prevent reflections. Enjoy memorable observations and shots.

2.5" focuser with gearing and ball bearings
This 2.5" geared focuser is a small spatial miracle, and large enough that no shading occurs. An ingenious hybrid technology comprising a Crayford focuser and a gear wheel makes it particularly strong and suitable for accessories weighing up to 4kg. The ball bearings provide for smooth focusing, allowing you to easily find the perfect focus. A 1:10 reduction gearing makes precise focusing a breeze. Astrophotographers around the world value precisely these features.

360° rotation for framing the perfect photo.
You found the object and focused on it, but with the wrong orientation? Save yourself the trouble of having to start over again at night to align an elongated object with the sensor. This is easy to do in seconds thanks to the 360° rotating focuser.

2" and M63 connection
The focuser has a standard 2" connection with a reduction to 1.25". This allows you to connect all accessories from our range, such as eyepieces and adapters. Additional M63 thread can be used for your full-frame camera or field flattener. This produces a completely illuminated and flat field of view.

CNC tube designed for the best optics
The tube of the Omegon Apo consists of a CNC-machined metal construction with a sophisticated anti-reflective aperture system. The entire tube is lined with a velvet-like, black fabric.
