APO Telescope TS 100Q

* Since the telescopes TS are tested at the factory before being shipped to destination, the delivery time can be extended by about 10 days. This guarantees delivery of the material in the best possible condition.

The TS -100Q telescope is an apochromatic telescope from the brand TS with an excellent corrected field that makes it ideal for astrophotography. It is an astrograph with a diameter of 100mm and a focal length of 580mm (f/5.8). The TS -100Q comes equipped with a fantastic FPL-53 O'hara quadruple lens free of chromatic aberrations. The TS-100Q offers a fully illuminated corrected field of 49mm in diameter.

The APO TS -100Q telescope is the only refractor telescope designed for FULL FRAME astrophotography. The field of this 4-element (quadruplet) apochromatic is absolutely flat and the chromaticity correction is virtually identical to that of a reflecting telescope thanks to the advanced optical system using O'Hara FPL-53 optical glass. Stars are spot on and color correction is perfect. Besides the fact that this APO has been optimized for Astroimaging, you will also enjoy extremely sharp images and large fields of view.

The Quadruplet Apochromatic telescope TS-100Q offers a large illuminated flat field of 49mm diameter. The flattening feature is built into the inside of the tube. You can use DSLR and CCD cameras with sensors up to 35x35mm without problems. The stars will be spot on from the center to the edge of the field of view.

The original 4" CNC focuser of this APO tube is very similar to the Feather Touch focuser and is capable of supporting a load of up to 8kg weight. This is more than enough for observing and astrophotography.

Specifications of the TSOptics 4" CNC focuser:

* Free aperture: 77mm with threaded anti-reflection thread.
* Focuser travel: 46mm.
* Eyepiece side connections: M78X1 male and M68X1 female threads and 2" and 1.25" adapters.
* Focuser macro-micro reduction 10:1

Included with the telescope:

* APO Quadcopter 100mm f/5.8 APO telescope
* CNC rings.
* Carrying case.
