Thanks to the use of a lens combination made of synthetic fluorite glass (FPL-53) and lanthanum, chromatic aberration is extremely low, also due to the more relaxed aperture ratio of f/7.8, making this instrument particularly suitable for observing planets, the moon and double stars. Equipped with a matching 1x or 0.8x flattener, this telescope also becomes an excellent tool for photography with CMOS or SLR cameras. The tube is made entirely of aluminium with internal baffles and a matt finish to eliminate reflections.
The robust 2.5" focuser holds even heavy loads with extreme precision and can be rotated so that you can adjust the desired motif without losing focus. To lock the camera or eyepiece in place, the focuser has a "click-lock" principle and can also be reduced to 1.25" with a ring clamp. The focuser also has a degree scale on the inner extension tube and a practical 1:10 fine reduction. By unscrewing the extension between the tube and the focuser, it can also be used very well for binocular attachments.
The equipment includes a set of tube clamps, a Vixen-style prism rail and a comfortable handle.
