This triplet apochromat is equipped with one of the best lenses in its class. The proven FPL53 from Ohara (Japan) is used as the apochromatic element. The colour-pure objective is mounted in a temperature-compensated mount that compensates for sub-zero temperatures. A solid metal tube and the Photoline RPA 2.5" deluxe focuser with rack and pinion adjustment make this apochromat a highly recommended instrument for the dedicated astrophotographer.
Your advantages:
- Triplet lens with air gap
- Temperature-compensated, fully adjustable mount
- 2.5" RPA Photoline focuser with micro reduction gear
- Direct thread connection for correctors and reducers
- Sturdy tube with internal baffles
For astrophotography, you should use a corrector. We recommend two models:
- TS 2.5: The focal length remains unchanged; recommended distance from the corrector’s M69 mounting thread to the camera sensor: 88 mm
- Photoline 0.79x Reducer/Corrector: The focal length is reduced to 719 mm; recommended distance from the corrector’s M48 mounting thread to the sensor: 55 mm
Both correctors can be screwed directly onto the M68 thread of the focuser.
