Explore Scientific ED APO 80mm f/6 FCD-100 Alu HEX Refractor Achromatic Magnification 15 up to 160 x

Highly corrected 80 mm triplet apochromat (three-lens) with aluminum tube and 2.5" HEXAFOC precision eyepiece tube.

Apochromates are the measure of all things in the small and medium opening range: The combination of good portability, very high image contrast and sharpness with the excellent possibilities offered by these devices for astrophotography cannot be surpassed here. Advances in glass manufacturing have made high-quality apochromates possible for ever-broader buyer groups in recent years. With the new Explore Scientific FCD-100 Alu Hex, this development has reached another highlight - the color unit of this device sets new standards in this price class. The optic design reaches a polystirene thickness of 0.97 - a value that stands for highest correction.

This small excellent apochromate is a versatile device: The fast aperture ratio of f/6 enables short exposure times in astrophotography, the high image sharpness and the excellent contrast make overview observations as well as those of the North American level or the andromedalaxia as possible as well as sharp planetary observations possible. The device is extremely light and compact - the protection cap can be inserted in a space-saving way. State-of-the-art glasses and the most careful production have produced telescopes that offer pure observation fun at the highest level. This telescope is therefore not only fully recommended as a travel telescope, but also for quick observation in between, as well as for astrophotography. The high-quality 2.5" HEXAFOC eyepiece tube with 1:10 reduction rounds off the image of this all-round device - due to the large free diameter of 65mm, there is no vignetting by the eyepiece extraction even with astrophotography with larger chips, as can be the case with smaller diameters.
