Advances in glass production in recent years have made it possible to manufacture high-quality apochromats for a wider range of consumers. With the new \u003cb\u003eEXPLORE SCIENTIFIC FCD-100 CF Alu Hex\u003c\/b\u003e, this evolution has reached a new culmination point: the color purity of this device sets new standards in this price category. The optical design achieves a Strehl ratio of 0.97, a value that represents maximum correction.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis excellent apochromat is a very versatile instrument: the fast \u003cb\u003ef\/7 aperture ratio\u003c\/b\u003e allows for short exposure times in astrophotography, while its \u003cb\u003ehigh sharpness and extraordinary contrast\u003c\/b\u003e make it possible to perform general observations of the North America Nebula or the Andromeda Galaxy, as well as planets with great sharpness. It is a very light and compact instrument: the dew shield can be retracted to save space. With ultra-modern glass and precision manufacturing, telescopes have been created that allow for maximum enjoyment of observations. In addition, this telescope is not only absolutely recommended for travel, but also for quick observations and astrophotography.
