Teleskop-Service focuses on uncompromising optical and mechanical quality with the PHOTOLINE APO series.
This apochromatic refractor is equipped with one the best objectives of its class. The moderate focal ratio and the use of two special glasses (FPL53 and lanthanum glass) allows for a correction which is clearly above the level of two-lens ED apos in this price range. The image quality is comparable with three-element lenses. The telescope can be used visually without any restrictions and, thanks to the optional field flattener and focal reducer, there is also no obstacle to astrophotography.The advantages and features of the Photoline 125 mm f/7.8 apo:
An ultimative, high-end 2.5" focuser:
The 2.5" RPA focuser is a good alternative to the well-known Starlight FeatherTouch FTF25 - with a quality very close to it. The focuser holds camera-side accessories up to approx. 5 kg without tilting. The illumination is sufficient for full-frame size sensors.Astrophotography with the TS 125mm APO:

Question:
How do I get to the M68x1 female thread?
Answer from Teleskop-Service:
At the transition from the 2" clamp to the drawtube you have three small grub screws, you must loosen these, then you can unscrew the 2" clamp and you have the M68x1 female thread on the extension tube available

"Sehr geehrtes TS Team, vorab der 125er ist das Teleskop, das mich in Zukunft begleiten wird. Genauso hatte ich es mir erhofft. Die mechanische Verarbeitung steht einem Takahashi FS78, den ich mal besaß und and dem sich alle Teleskope meine späteren Geräte messen mussten, kaum nach. Der Okularauszug gefällt mir aufgrund des Microfocisierers fast besser und was soll ich sagen optisch kann ich bei meinem 125 ED praktisch mehr unterscheiden, dass es kein Japan Fluorit Apo ist. Beteibe die Sternbeobachtung seit meinen Jugendtagen, also mehr als 30 Jahre und hatte zahlreiche verschiedene Teleskope mit Öffungen von 3 Zoll bis über 300 mm. Unter anderem ein Celestron C8, einen Vixen 102M, einen 120NA Neoachromaten und den Tak. Ich konnte den 125er jetzt bereits mehrere Nächte testen. Ein gutes Teleskop kann hohe Vergrößerungen im Rahmen der Öffnung bringen ohne dass das Bild irgendwie ""flau"" wird. Das konnte der Tak und das kann dieser ED. Das konnte weder das C8 noch die Vixen Refraktoren, die ich hatte. Izar und Iota Leonis hab ich gut trennen können und bei dem kleinen Sternhaufen neben M35 sind einzelne Sterne aufgeblitzt und die liegen um m15. 4 Kleinkrater in Plato und ein Bild des Mondes am Terminator werde ich nicht mehr vergessen. Ich hab das niemals zuvor so ""knackig"", detailliert und kontrastreich gesehen. 190fach mit einem.Tak LE5 mm Okluar und dann ca 0.5 mm AP mit einem Ortho. Ich musste einfach stauen. Mein Exemplar ist jedenfalls verdammt gut und ich kann es jedem empfehlen, der das Bild in einem Apo mag aber nicht bereit ist für diese Öffnung den Wert eines Gebrauchtwagens zu bezahlen um ein Gerät eines der japanischen, russischen oder amerikanischen Premiumherstellers zu bezahlen. Das Gerät zeigt in meinen Augen keine Farbabweichungen ist scharf und kontrastreich. Viel mehr geht physikalisch kaum mehr mit 125 mm Öffnung als das Gerät zeigt. Beste Grüße ***"
