Sharpstar 76EDPH 6 Element Flatfield Apo 76mm F/4.5 Telescope.
The Sharpstar 76EDPH 6-element Flatfield Apo Apochromatic FPL53 is intended for astrophotographers and nature photographers who also like to observe through a high-class apo. The refractor convinces with its solid mechanical construction and its high-quality 3-element FPL53 lens. The image is free of annoying chromatic aberrations. The 3-element corrector has been specially developed for this apo and produces a pure color-corrected image field with a diameter of 44 mm, ideal for full-frame cameras. The fast focal ratio of f / 4.5 allows for short exposure times. The 76EDPH is a powerful and portable travel apo for astrophotography and observation.
Connecting cameras to the apo:
Simply screw the 2.5" image field corrector onto the focuser. There is an M48x0.75 thread available on the camera side of the corrector. The working distance of this thread to the camera sensor is exactly 55 mm. This is ideal for all astronomical cameras and DSLR / SLR cameras. Matching T-rings can be found on our website. The corrector also has a 2" filter thread in front of the camera mount.
Mounting the Sharpstar 76EDPH on photographic stands and tripods:
The CNC ring has a GP and EQ5 style dovetail bar at the base. You can attach the telescope to the appropriate quick couplings of mounts and travel mounts such as the Skywatcher Star Adventurer. In addition, the rod also has a 1/4" photographic thread. The apo fits, like a telephoto lens, directly on any photographic tripod.
The carrying handle is a very useful multifunctional part. The handle not only facilitates mounting on the photographic tripod, but is also the basis for future adaptations. The handle has an oblong hole and a 1/4" photo tripod thread. For example, you can mount a ball head on it and mount a second camera in parallel. Next to the carrying handle there is a hot shoe for spotting scopes, mini telescopes or observation devices.
Observing with the Sharpstar 76EDPH:
Of course, the lens of this triplet that is free of chromatic aberration also provides an excellent basis for observation. The high-contrast image also provides a clear image during the day, for example, when observing birds. At night, the 76 mm aperture also shows the cratered landscape of the Moon or also interesting details on the planets of the solar system. Many thousands of deep sky objects are also within reach of the apo. You can use 1.25" and 2" accessories such as a dielectric diagonal to enjoy observation more comfortably.
