Starwave 80 ED Triplet APO Travel Refractor
1,069.00 €
The Starwave 80 EDT-R refractor has a triplet ED lens system with a premium Japanese Hoya FCD-100 ED glass element, with equivalent Abbe number to FPL53. Super-high transmission coating (STM Coating) is used on all air-to-glass surfaces for high contrast. This results in APO level colour correction.
NEW Planostar v2 0.8x reducer is available giving a focal ratio of 4.8 for wide field imaging, ideal for astro cameras like the Hypercam 183C and 269C series. The spacing to sensor is 64.5mm and the rear thread is M48 male.
For astrophotography, you have two options of focal ratio to suit your target. You can choose to image at a faster F5.6 with the optional 0.8x focal reducer for extended objects such as nebulae, or at the normal F7 focal ratio, with the optional 1.0x field flattener for smaller objects such as globular clusters and galaxies.
The focuser is CNC machined with a precision rack and pinion gear. It can be rotated smoothly on Teflon bearings. The focuser end-cap has a 2" self-centering pushfit adapter with stainless steel capstans for easy tightening. A 1¼" - 2" self-centering pushfit adapter with brass insert is included.
The tube is made from light weight aluminium alloy with CNC machined components including the new lightweight CNC tube rings. A tough matte pearl powder coated tube and hard-anodised fittings give durability and great looks. An aluminium push-fit lens cap and 1.75" dovetail bar completes the package.
