The AP 150/1200 is the largest lanthanum/FPL53 Doublet refractor. It has the same optical design as the successful Photoline 125 mm Apo. The inexpensive yet powerful optical concept makes this dream telescope affordable for amateur astronomers. Whether you are interested in solar and planetary photography and observation or astrophotography of nebulae, star clusters and galaxies, this telescope will offer you very good performance.
The Doublet objective with SD glass, one lens made of FPL53 and the other of special lanthanum glass, delivers maximum performance and colour correction previously only known from triplet objectives. Each Apo is tested on our optical bench before shipping to ensure you always have optimum performance.
Weighing only 9 kilograms, the telescope is still portable and can be carried by mounts from EQ6-R.
The 2.5" R&P focuser is designed for photography with heavy cameras and for observation. The focuser holds camera-side accessories up to about 5 kg without causing tilting. The illumination by the focuser is sufficient for full frame sensors.
- Adjustment via rack and pinion - no friction - no yielding as with a Crayford focuser
