This advanced air-spaced triplet refractor uses Hoya FCD100 glass to minimize chromatic aberration, resulting in exceptionally clear and defined images of planets, nebulae, and galaxies. The carbon fiber body maintains stability while contributing to portability, and its sturdy 2.5" HEX focuser facilitates fine adjustments with smoothness and security. Built around high-end glass, a durable carbon fiber tube, and a precision dual-speed focuser, this telescope delivers serious performance for stargazers who want sharp views and dependable imaging capability in the field. The optical performance, when coupled with its large focuser, makes this an ideal OTA for astrophotography and imaging, or as a convenient grab-and-go option for fast observation sessions.
