TS-Optics PhotoLine 60 mm f/6 FPL53 apochromatic Refractor - RED Version
The TS-Optics PhotoLine 60 mm apo is THE travel telescope which you have always been looking for. Thanks to a sliding dew shield, the telescope has a transport length of only 23 centimetres. Thus it has enough space in any hand luggage. Mount the apo onto a photo tripod or an astronomical mount, dependending on the usage. You will love the outstanding optics and the high-quality mechanics.

The advantages and features of the PhotoLine 60 mm f/6 Apo:
Clear and contrasty image without chromatic aberration. The latter is almost completely corrected through FPL53 (Ohara - Japan) and the lanthanum partner glass.
2" rack and pinion dual-speed focuser with ball bearings - even heavy accessories, like CCD cameras, is focused quite sensitive.
M54x0.75 connection thread for astrophotography for threaded adaptions.
2" and 1.25" receptacle with compression ring-
Generous working distance for all common correctors and also 2" star diagonals for observation.
Useful L-bracket with multifunctional plate. The apo fits to any photo tripod and with an additional dovetail plate also to astronomical mounts.
Always in balance even with heavy accessories - you can mount the bracket simply turned 180° around, thus the apo then is in equilibrium even with heavy eyepieces or a big camera.

Photography with the PhotoLine 60 mm f/6 apo:

This PhotoLine Apo offers all possibilities for astrophotography or countryside and animal photography. The telescope replaces an expensive apochromatic telephoto lens, but you will need a corrector. Suitable correctors are linked in the accessories section. The image of the Andromeda galaxy was taken with this refractor and the TS corrector - see reviews, too.


TS-Optics PhotoLine 1.0x Flattener TSFLAT60

With this corrector the refractor becomes an apochromatic telephoto lens with 360 mm focal length and a focal ratio of f/6. A field of 41 mm diameter is fully corrected and illuminated. Thus even an (only slightly limited) usage of full-frame size sensors becomes possible.

The corrector is attached via the M54 thread. You can achieve the optimal camera position through the 360° rotation.


This apo is also a pleasure for observing!
The compact PhotoLine 60 mm apo is also a recommendation for observing. The image is brighter and richer in contrast the the one of most spotting scopes and the usable field is larger. A magnification range from 10x for an overview to 150x for detail observation is at your disposal. Suitable eyepieces and star diagonals can be found in the accessories section.

Due to the generous working distance of 135 mm from the 2" receptacle, you always need a star diagonal or an Amici prism for visual observations.

Congratulations on this beautiful image!

Answer from Teleskop-Service:
Can the ZWO EAF motor focus be connected without an additional adapter?]
[!Yes, you can. To attach the EAF L-rail, use the grub screw on the opposite side of the micro reduction. You have to loosen it anyway to remove the adjustment knob. Instead of the grub screw, simply screw in one of the screws for the L-rail.

To fix the L-rail, use the other internal thread, which is on the inside of the three grub screws next to each other. The grub screw is so deep inside that you can leave it there, there is still enough thread left to hold the L-rail in place.

Super verarbeitetes, knackscharfes Teleskop. Visuell kann ich nicht den Hauch von Farbfehlern erkennen und da bin ich sehr pingelig.
Ich nutze das gute Stück nur visuell als kleines, leichtes Schnellspechtl- und Reiseteleskop.
Es ist jedoch weit mehr als das.
Der OAZ läuft butterweich, lässt sich super präzise fokussieren und hat null Spiel. Besser gehts nicht.
Weitfeldbeobacgtungen sind eine wahre Freude.

Danke für das tolle Teleskop!

"Gute Verarbeitung. Sehr gute Bilddarstellung. "

"Perfect small APO! Highly recommended for astrophotography with small portable mounts (e.g. Star Adventurer). Optically great, produces nice, round stars without aberrations. Mechanically also superb, focuser is very smooth, precise and can be locked securely. Added shoe to mount a red dot finder or a mini guide scope is a nice touch. Another shoe can be added. Dew shield stays firmly in place once extended. A small gem of a telescope it plays the main role in my portable astrophotography setup."

"Sehr sehr gut."

This little telescope deserve much more attention. It delivers great images in Narrowband. With the 1.0x flattener(360mm) and the asi1600MM Pro I got perfectly round stars all around the field of view. No reason to upgrade to a more expensive triplet under the 1300.- price range. Especially within this focal length range! For balancing the telescope I flipped the Tube ring around and got a 20cm dovetail bar for it to balance it perfectly and you are done.

I heard some Astrophotographers say, its better to buy a good doublet instead of a mediocre triplet(which are mostly double the price) and this is very true for this little telescope!

"The telescope has a very good price/quality ratio for its class. Currently I will use it with full frame mirrorless camera with a flattener. But if I upgrade my setup to an astrocamera I plan to add a reducer and with such setup it allows a quite nice range of focal lengths available depending on camera-reducer/flattener options."
