Affordable travel Apo refractor for astrophotography and observation with very good optics
The 2-element objective convinces with a very good color correction through the use of FPL53 and lanthanum glas. The color correction is comparable to an FPL53 triplet. Even at high magnification, no disturbing color error will be visible.
The 0.8x image field corrector, which we offer in this Astrofoto bundle, has been developed for 2-element lenses with 80mm and offers very good correction and illumination up to APS-C format. The corrector is simply inserted into the 2" receptacle. The special shape of the receptacle on the corrector prevents tilting, the stars will be point-shaped also in the corners.
Astrophotography with the APO
This package offers an inexpensive solution for mobile photographic use. No compromises were made in the quality of the lens and the mechanics. The image can certainly compete with significantly more expensive APOs. The corrector is optimized for cameras with sensors up to APS-C or smaller. Very good results are therefore possible. A good 1.0x flattener, which even allows use up to full frame, is linked in the "accessories" section. So the telescope can grow with your requirements.

Good optics only work if the mechanics are also right. This apo fulfills these criteria.
♦ Ball-bearing mounted 2.5" focuser with rack & pinion drive. The bearing is decoupled from the adjustment of the focuser tube.
♦ Oversized focuser tube with 60 mm clear aperture for full illumination even with full-frame sensors.
♦ 1:10 micro reduction for ultra-precise focusing
♦ High-quality CNC tube with internal diaphragms and very good internal blackening - no disturbing stray light
♦ Female M63x1 thread allows stable screwed adaptations for astrophotography
♦ The dew cap can be retracted - the transport length is then only 46 centimeters
♦ High-quality CNC rings and GP-level dovetail bar with photo tripod connection
The visual use - spotting scope and astronomical telescope
Although the apo is optimized for astrophotography, it can also be used very well visually. Simply unscrew the corrector and insert the 2" receptacle. Now you can observe through the telescope with 1.25" or 2" diagonals or Amici prisms and magnify up to about 200x with very high contrast.
