Description
Elite 127 - a classical Fraunhofer system in high-quality craftmanship, with reduced chromatic abberation

The Elite 127 sets a contra-point to rich-field refractors whose focal lengths become shorter and shorter by tolerating increasing colour fringes. This telescope has deliberately a long focal length causing an image quality that is much better than with shorter systems of the same aperture. The reason is the reduced chromatic abberation.

Additionally, the equipment of the Elite 127 has been refined. For example, this telescope comes with a 2" Crayford-style focuser with 1:10 transmission.

Observing with the Elite 127:

127mm aperture with reduced chromatic abberation allow lunar- and planetary observations on a high level. You will see definitively more details as with (for example) an 100mm ED refractor. The drawing of the lunar surface is very good, fine craters and rimae are shown with high contrast. The image quality can be further enhanced by using the Baader "Fringe Killer" that suppresses the remaining colour fringe (see "recommended accessories").

Deep Sky observations are also very good possible. The 127mm (5") objective gathers 12% more light as a 120mm objective. Despite of the long focal length, wide field viewing is no problem. Here, we offer a 2" kit consisting of a 2" diagonal mirror and a 42mm 2" Erfle eyepiece (see "recommended accessories").

The relatively low chromatic abberation is also an advantage for deep sky at medium and high magnifications: Double stars can be splitted better and fine structures in bright nebulae have more contrast.

Photography:

Especially for lunar and planetary photography, the Elite 127 is a good tool. A great advantage is the ball-beared 2" Crayford-Focuser with the 1:10 transmission that makes focusing easy and precise.

- Refractor Elite 127 OTA with mounting rings and viewfinder, as described above.

Elite Crayford focuser The 2" Crayford focuser:

The focuser is an important part. The better the objecitve is, the better also the focuer must be. Even a minimal misalignment of the focuser reduces the optical performance of the complete system.

The drawtube is ball-beared and offers, thanks to the 1:10 transmission, a fine focusing cabability. Both the 2" and the 1.25" port have brass clamping rings.

The 8x50 viewfinder:

The finder is mounted in an adjustable metal bracket. For transport, it can be released quickly.

Two mount recommendations:

Celestron ADM Celestron ADM

an affordable and solid mount with manual fine controls. It is ideal for amateur astronomers who want a complete starter package for a reasonable price.

We have a great choice of motor drives that fit your individual needs.
Celestron CAM Celestron CAM

this mount holds the Elite 127 stiff and is also capable for heavy accessories like guiding scopes or cameras.

The CAM comes as a complete set with field tripod and an excellent GoTo system. That makes this mount a transportable base for visual observing and astro photography also.


Recommended accessories by TS (see also in the folder above):

-- Travel bag for the Elite 127
-- A good 2" kit
-- good 1.25" diagonal mirrors
-- Baader Fringe Killer - a filter that removes the remaining chromatic abberation, especially for moon & planets
... and much more!
