Telescope Explore Scientific 80mm f/6 ED APO FCD-1 Alu with R&P 2" Focuser
The three-lens design of the Explore Scientific ED-Apochromats provides everything an amateur astronomer desires... and at a reasonable price: high brightness, maximum sharpness, wide field and light weight, without compromising the robustness of the assembly. Its glass construction Hoya FCD001 ED has two air spacings between the lenses and provides a level of correction so superior to two-lens constructions, common at this price, that you will see the difference immediately. This unit offers high performance thanks to the excellent performance of its optics combined with high-precision mechanics, resulting in a high-end telescope that is setting a new standard in this price range. The most demanding astrophotographers will be delighted with this telescope thanks to the field flattener that is offered as an optional accessory and allows the telescope to deliver high quality results even when using cameras with a large format sensor.
