The optical design achieves a polystrehl of 0.97 - (a value that represents the highest correction) making this small excellent Apochromat a very versatile device. The fast aperture ratio of f\/6 allows for shorter exposure times in astrophotography, resulting in high image sharpness and excellent contrast making observations of targets such as the North American Nebula or the Andromeda Galaxy just as clean and sharp as planetary observations.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis scope is also extremely light and compact - as the dew protection cap can be inserted to save space. State-of-the-art glass optics and meticulous production techniques have meant that these telescopes offer observation quality at the highest level. The high-quality 2.5\" HEXAFOC focuser with 1:10 reduction completes the setup of this all round device - and due to the large diameter of the focuser (65mm), no vignetting occurs even in astrophotography using larger sensors.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTelescope Spec:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptic Design: APO Refracter (Triplet)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAperture: 80mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocal length: 480mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAperture ratio: f\/6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial tube: Aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEyepiece holder plug diameter: 50.8 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube weight: 2,6kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-lens apochromat with two air gaps and central FCD-100 element\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocus position: 150mm from plug-in connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum recommended magnification: x 160\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eED Glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResolution: 1.73 arc seconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnhanced Multilayer Desposition (EMD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhats included:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2\" 99% zenith mirror\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo extension sleeves for focuser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDovetail rail GP Level\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDust caps for lens \u0026amp; focuser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniversal Viewfinder Shoe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDownload the Explore Scientific ED APO Manual \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca title=\"Explore Scientific ED APO Telescope Manual\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/1924\/6275\/files\/Explore_Scientific_ED_APO_Manual.pdf?v=1631447636\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/1924\/6275\/files\/Explore_Scientific_ED_APO_Manual.pdf?v=1631447636\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Explore Scientific","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40650172956867,"sku":"0112086","price":1269.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/1924\/6275\/products\/ExploreScientificED80APOTriplet_1.jpg?v=1631396983","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonastronomy.ie\/en-ro\/products\/apo-80mm-f-6-fcd-100-alu-hex-triplet","provider":"Horizon Astronomy • Telescope Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
