Explore Scientific ED Apo 127 mm - FCD-100, aluminium tube, Hexafoc
Apochromats are the ultimate choice in small to medium sized telescopes: the combination of compactness, transportability, very high image contrast and sharpness together with the possibility to make excellent astrophotos cannot be beaten. The advances in glass manufacturing during the last few years have made true apochromats available to more astronomy enthusiasts than ever before.

The Explore Scientific FCD-100 Carbon Hex represents another major improvement in this field - the overall correction (color and spherical) is setting standards in this price class. The optical design shows a polystrehl value of 0.97, indicating a level of correction that is absolutely top of the line.

This excellent apochromat is a very versatile telescope: the fast f-ratio makes short exposure times possible. The high contrast and sharpness of the image provide breathtaking views of large objects like the North America Nebula or the Andromeda galaxy as well as tack sharp planetary images. The telescope is lightweight and compact - the dew shield slides down the tube and the carbon fiber construction saves weight in comparison to a standard metal tube. Revolutionary glass and precision manufacturing created a telescope that offers observing joy on the highest level. This does not only qualify this telescope as the ideal travel scope, it is also the perfect choice for fast observations and for astrophotography.

The excellent 2.5" focuser with 10:1 reduction is perfect for this purpose - the large inner diameter of 65 mm prevents vignetting by the focuser when the telescope is used for astrophotography with large sensors.

" Der ES ED Apo 127-FCD100 Hexafoc ist für meine visuellen Himmelstouren ein beeindruckender Refraktor. Bis zur sichersten Vergrösserung von 127x zeigt er ein kontrastreiches, scharfes und farbfreies Bild von Jupiter und Mond. Auch die Sterne zeigten sich wie kleine Diamanten, wobei die Beobachtungsbedingungen nicht optimal waren. Die Qualität der zumutbaren Höchstvergrösserung der Optik wird sich erst noch bei gutem Himmel zeigen müssen. (Das kann noch dauern.) Der Hexafoc zeigt sich sehr stabil und lässt sich butterweich fokussieren. Für meine visuellen Belange ein schönes Gerät, aber mit entsprechendem Zubehör an der Grenze der Transportabilität. Etwas mickrig finde ich die hellen Kunststoff-Schräubchen am Sucherhalter, der zudem auch nur für Bresser-Zubehör gedacht ist. Da passt nichts anderes. Musste ihn auswechseln. Hatte zum Glück noch etwas Passendes in der Wühlkiste. Ein weiteres Manko sind die Klemmschrauben für den Steckfocuser. Hier sind die Köpfe zu gross oder der Steckhülsenring zu schmal. Sie behindern die Rotation des Zenitspiegels. Da haben Techniker ihre Arbeit nicht gut gemacht. Ansonsten ein sehr feiner stabiler Refraktor, der sich optisch bei gutem Himmel sicher noch beweisen wird. Bin sehr zufrieden. "
