Deep Sky Observations:

... surely on of the most attractive fields - der Individual 152 is the ultimative gun with very sharp images in the field. Through the excellent colour correction and the relative huge diameter of 150mm you are able to magnify until 300 times with very good image sharpness and brightness. Therefore not only impressive wide field observations from wide spread nebula are possible, but also high resolution observations of compact planetary nebula and global clusters.


Astrophotography:

The Individual 152 has a huge 3" focuser. It is because of that even Astrophotography is possible. A bright refractor with 2" focuser has a significantly "vignetting" build in. The Individual 152 offers also a brilliant illumination - even until the whole Medium format.

The field flattening occurs by using the "Field Flattener". Particulary recommended is the TS 2" Flattener, which you can buy in a bundle, including the Individual.

Due to the large aperture false colour is an issue. But the colour aberration can be reduced by special filters. For H2 regions we advice a good Redfilter, for example from Baader ..... ( Link zum Filter Colour photos are also able to shoot, one possibility is to shoot in RGB mode, if you use black and white cameras, the other variant is a Baader UHC Filter. The UHC filter reduces significantly the colour fringe and raises also significantly the contrast. ( Link to Baader UHC Filter ).


Moon- and Planetery Observation:

Of course not the main task of the Individual 152, but nevertheless also in that field the Individual 152 is top. We suggest the Baader Semi APO Filter, which reduces the colour aberration signifantly. As a result you can magnify up to 300 times by having a sharp and bright picture.
