TS-Optics 80 mm f/7 ED APO refractor for astrophotography and observation
The refractor is suitable for both ambitious beginners and experienced astrophotographers. The telescope impresses with its well-corrected optics and excellent mechanics. The tube weighs less than 3 kg. It can also be mounted on smaller mounts and stable photo tripods.
The 2-element ED objective:An S-FPL51-ED element minimizes chromatic aberration and ensures high-contrast, color-neutral images. The lens is supplied in a temperature-compensated cell. Multi-coating on every glass-air surface allows for high contrast during both daytime and nighttime observations.
Astrophotography with the 80 mm f/7 ED:The precise focuser and fast optics make the 80 mm ED refractor a good telescope for astrophotography. To correct the image field, we recommend the following correctors - these are also linked in the accessories section. The correctors are screwed to the focuser using the TSM54A-M63i adapter. This prevents them from tilting.
TSFL80F7-2E ... The 1.0x corrector provides a flat image field and does not change the focal length. The working distance from the M48 thread is 55 mm. The corrector also offers an intermediate thread for 2" filters. TSRED80F7-2E ... The 0.8x corrector reduces the focal length to 448 mm and improves the focal ratio to f/5.6. The working distance from the M48 thread is 55 mm. The corrector also offers an intermediate thread for 2" filters.Astrophotographic results obtained with this telescope on AstrobinHere you can find some astrophotographs made with this telescope model:
