Apochromatic refractor tube Omegon Pro AP 106/700 Triplet ED FCD-100

With just over 10 cm aperture, this is an ideal telescope for travel and, at the same time, it is a fast optic.

The high-quality triple objective lens delivers an exceptionally sharp image. ED FCD100 glass manufactured by Hoya in Japan, a repeatedly praised glass with minimal color deviation, is used. This ensures razor-sharp planetary observations and beautiful astronomical photographs.

Main features:

• Triple apochromatic lens with FCD-100 ED lens: high quality apochromatic lens, for pure color and high contrast images
• Internal anti-reflective diaphragms, for even better contrast in observation and astronomical photography
• 3.5" hybrid focuser with 1:10 reduction, so you can attach even heavy accessories up to 10 kg (33 lbs)
• Two-in-one carrying handle and rail: for transporting and mounting additional accessories, such as a guide tube
• This telescope comes with CNC tube clamps, GP mounting rail, finder shoe and extendable dew cap.

Made for perfect astronomical photography

Thanks to the triple ED apochromatic air-gap apochromatic lens, it focuses an image with high contrast and pure colors. At the heart of your astronomical photography machine is the FCD-100 glass from Hoya in Japan, known for its low chromatic aberration. It makes it possible to observe nebulae and planets even at very high magnification and still obtain clear, sharp images.

A telescope for all astronomy enthusiasts who value high quality images.

More information about the FCD-100:

Thanks to technological innovation, Hoya has successfully optimized the series production of the FCD-100. An optical glass with extremely low dispersion, even approaching fluorite. By combining it with a high refractive index optical glass, it has been possible to achieve unprecedented chromatic aberration correction.

Large, precise and stable 3.5" focuser

With this huge focuser, all your problems are a thing of the past, at least those related to the lighting of your camera. You can use any camera, from APS-C to full frame, and get perfect results thanks to the interaction of lens and focuser.

The focuser works with a hybrid technology consisting of a toothed (oblique) rack and pinion and a ball bearing. This means that focusing can be adjusted smoothly and precisely, while load capacity and stability are high. Now you can even mount cameras and heavy equipment weighing up to 10 kg.

M63 threaded connection (internal): in addition to the classic 2" connection (with 1.25" reducer adapter) for eyepieces and cameras, this instrument also offers a 63 mm thread, so that you can attach a flattener or reducer easily and stably.

The dual-purpose handle

Simply clever: with the practical carrying handle, you always have your apochromatic at hand. Both during transport and when attaching it to the mount. In addition, the handle also serves as a mounting rail for parallel-mounted accessories. So everything has its place: use, for example, a guide tube and a guiding camera.
