The optical AP 100/900 ED:

This refractor with good color corrected error is an ideal telescope for high-contrast planetary observations. With 100mm aperture and 900mm focal length, the twin lens ED lens to excellent imaging characteristics and collects about 200 times more light than the naked eye at an exit pupil of 7mm. By using FPL-53 ED glass almost all visible chromatic aberrations are reduced by the aperture ratio of f / 9, these additionally compressed. ED glass (Extra low Dispersion) exhibit a very low color dispersion and have a low refractive index. By combining these special glasses with different optical glass has a very good correction of chromatic aberration is obtained. With the help of built-in crown glass of the German brand Schott is still achieved better contrast. This applied to the lenses Metallic High Transmission Coating provides high light transmission. Refractor star clusters appear in this particular beauty and the figure is the often mentioned "fine needle-point stars" extremely close. In conjunction with an optional field flatteners he delivers sharp images over the entire field. The tube has a 2 inch solid Crayfordauszug with 1:11 ratio for a fine focus, which is especially important for astrophotography. In the area of the refractor observations of nature can be transformed into a powerful spotting scope with various connection options. Even a purely external appearance is a real gem: it features an elegant design in a class, tube and finderscope shimmer in a black aesthetic. In contrast, the white dust cap and the pipe clamps act as a stylish element in the overall design.
