More about the series Messier...
The AC 102/1000: Thanks to its long focal length, this refracting telescope is ideally suited to lunar and planetary observations. The 102 millimetre obstruction-free aperture provides good resolution without diffraction caused by a secondary mirror found in e.g. Newtonian telescopes.
Due to the relatively large aperture, bright nebulae or galaxies are also within reach. Follow in the footsteps of Charles Messier (1730-1817) and observe all of the objects in his famouscatalogue of nebular objects. It is also worth mentioning the very low colour aberration resulting from its generous focal ratio.
The advantages at a glance:
- Low colour aberration
- Solid drawtube
- Ideally suited for lunar and planetary observations
New - with immediate effect, this telescope comes with the new improved Hexafoc focuser. This focuser has a free aperture of 65mm! For photographic use in particular, it can be retrofitted with a 1:10 reduction ratio fine focuser (see 'Recommended Accessories'). This allows more precise focus adjustment.
