Explore Scientific Carbon Fiber ED127 f/7.5 APO Triplet with Hoya FCD100 Optics
From theĀ Moonās chiseled craters to Jupiterās orderly cloud belts to the blue-white stars of the Orion Nebula popping against the complex misty cloud they call home, Explore Scientificās Carbon Fiber 127mm Apochromatic Refractor can open up a treasure trove of night sky treats.
A nice compromise between portability and aperture, this versatile high-end telescope offers true diffraction-limited APO optics and has an objective lens size of 127mm and a focal length of 952mm, so itĀ performs well in lunar, planetary, orĀ deep sky viewing.
What sets this scope apart are the optics and the tube construction. Featuring an air-spaced triplet optical design that virtually eliminates chromatic aberrations, this APO telescope generates brilliant high-contrast images by combining genuine HOYA extra-low dispersion (ED) glass and proprietary EMD enhanced multi-layer coatings on all optical surfaces.
Astronomers will love its carbon fiber optical tube assembly. Ā The carbon fiber construction reduces weight and eliminates focus changes causedĀ by shrinking or expansion, resulting fromĀ temperature fluctuations.
Includes Ā a Hexagonal 2.5" Rack and Pinion Focuser, aĀ 2" 99% reflective star diagonal, and the cradle rings.
