Why this lens shows more details
Forget about images lacking contrast. This apochromatic telescope reveals what's truly possible: astronomical observations and photographs with pure color and high contrast. The key lies in a sophisticated design with premium ED optics for crystal-clear images. These optics offer better definition than most mirror systems, allowing you to see more detailed images when observing planets, for example. The optical elements feature an effective multi-layer anti-reflective coating on all surfaces. Enjoy memorable observations and images.
Large focuser with gears and ball bearings
Full-frame enthusiasts need space: this geared focuser delivers exactly what it offers. It's a wonderful complement to this premium optic, providing excellent illumination and shadow-free images. The hybrid Crayford and gear technology combines exceptionally smooth operation with incredible power. A 1:10 reducer for the finest adjustments completes this focuser. These are precisely the qualities that astrophotographers worldwide appreciate.
360° rotation to see every detail of the image perfectly
Have you already found and focused on your object, but it's misaligned? It's nighttime, and you shouldn't have to start over and realign an object with the sensor. The 360° rotator makes this task easy and takes only a few seconds.
A secure connection
From now on, everything will stay put: the integrated thread allows you to securely connect your accessories. For example, take your full-frame optimized off-axis guide scope and screw it on, just like a fixed part of your new telescope.
CNC machined tube for one of the best optics
The tube of this Omegon apochromatic lens has a CNC machined metal construction with a sophisticated anti-reflective aperture system and is fully lined with a velvety black fabric.
Dew cap that can be extended and secured
