This premium 127mm air-spaced triplet apochromatic refractor combines HOYA FCD100 extra-low dispersion glass with EMD-enhanced multi-layer coatings to virtually eliminate chromatic aberration, delivering exceptional high-contrast views ideal for both visual observation and astrophotography. Weighing just 14 pounds thanks to its carbon fiber construction, it maintains the optical excellence and thermal stability demanded by serious astronomers while remaining remarkably portable. The robust 2.5-inch hexagonal focuser with 10:1 micro-focusing can handle imaging setups up to 10 pounds, and the 952mm focal length strikes the perfect balance between resolution, field of view, and versatility for everything from high-power planetary work to wide-field deep-sky imaging.
