Advances in glass production in recent years have made it possible to manufacture high-quality apochromats for wider groups of consumers. With the new \u003cb\u003eEXPLORE SCIENTIFIC FCD-100 CF 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 device: 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 device: the dew shield can be retracted for space-saving. With ultra-modern glass and precision manufacturing, telescopes have been created that allow for maximum enjoyment of observations. Furthermore, this telescope is not only absolutely recommendable for travel, but also for quick observations and astrophotography. The high-quality \u003cb\u003e2.5'' HEXAFOC eyepiece focuser\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003ewith 1:10 reduction\u003c\/b\u003e completes the picture of this versatile device: thanks to the large free diameter of 65 mm, no vignetting occurs through the eyepiece focuser, even in astrophotography with large chips, as can happen with smaller diameters.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe popular EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC Triplet ED APO are offered in the following 3 product series:\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eEssential Line:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHOYA FCD-1\u003c\/b\u003e glass element, AL tube, 2.0\" Rack\u0026Pinion focusing mechanism with 1:10, 2.0\" diagonal mirror with 99% reflectivity (see article number: 0112084(AL), 0112106(AL), 0112132(AL), 0112155(CF + 3\"FT))\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eProfessional Line:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHOYA FCD-100\u003c\/b\u003e glass element, AL\/CF tube, 2.5\" HEXAFOC focusing mechanism with 1:10, 2.0\" diagonal mirror with 99% reflectivity (see article number: 0112086(AL), 0112108(AL), 0112109(CF), 0112134(AL), 0112135(CF))\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHigh-End Line:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOHARA FPL-53\u003c\/b\u003e glass element, carbon fiber (CF) tube, 3.0\" Feather-Touch focusing mechanism with 1:10, 2.0\" diagonal mirror with 99% reflectivity (see article number: 0112165(CF))\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTECHNICAL DATA\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAperture: 102 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocal length: 714 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAperture ratio: f\/7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube weight: 3.3 kg, significant weight reduction thanks to the carbon tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocal position: 150 mm from the connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-lens apochromat with two air gaps and central FCD-100 element\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eINCLUDES\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2’’ and 99% diagonal mirror\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo extension tubes for eyepiece focuser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdapter plate clamps and carrying handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDust caps for the objective and focusing mechanism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniversal finder shoe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Explore Scientific","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52791583179095,"sku":"112109","price":1742.98,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/6198\/6860\/files\/0112109_M_2_V0316.jpg?v=1770989595","url":"https:\/\/astrotelescopios.com\/en-efta\/products\/telescopio-explore-scientific-ed-apo-102mm-f-7-fcd-100-cf-hex","provider":"Astro Telescopios","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
