Explore Scientific ED Apo 152 mm Carbon Fibre OTA

The triplet-lens design of the Explores Scientific ED-Apochromats provides everything an amateur astronomer desires - at a reasonable price.

The construction with Hoya FCD001 ED glass has two air spaces and provides a level of correction so superior to the two-lens constructions, that are common in this price class, that you will see the difference immediately. The excellent optical performance teams up with a high precision mechanics and a giant 3" focuser - the result is a telescope on a level that is setting a new standard in it´s price class.

Astrophotographers will love this telescope - a field flattner is available as optional accessory and makes the telescope perfect even for cameras with a large chip format.
