Five lenses, two ED and a flat field that leaves everyone amazed
What motivates astrophotographers time and time again? The desire to capture objects and reproduce the sky with high image quality. And this is possible with this apochromat. Highly polished ED optics and a pure color image allow you to observe fine details that wouldn't be visible with basic optics. Enjoy a new standard of quality.
A summary of the advantages:
- 72mm Quintuplet ED Apo with five lenses, two of which are ED, for even brighter images
- Flat and illuminated field thanks to the integrated dual-lens corrector, also for full-frame cameras with an image circle of up to 44 mm
- 3" focuser with 1:10 reduction: even the largest and heaviest cameras can be focused easily and with great precision
- 140mm backfocus
- 360° camera rotation to find the correct orientation.
Why this optic shows more details
Forget about dull images. This apochromat reveals what's truly possible: pure color, high-contrast astronomical observations and photography. The key lies in a sophisticated design with premium ED optics for a crystal-clear image. This optic has better definition than most mirror systems, so you can see more detailed images when observing planets, for example. The optical elements are equipped with an effective anti-reflection multi-layer coating on all surfaces. Enjoy memorable observations and images.
Large focuser with gear and ball bearings
Full-frame enthusiasts need space—and that's exactly what the geared-design focuser offers. It's a wonderful complement to this premium optic, providing you with great illumination and shadow-free images. The hybrid technology of the Crayford and gearing combines very smooth operation with incredible power. A 1:10 reduction gear for the finest corrections completes this focuser. These are precisely the features appreciated by astrophotographers around the world.
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 align an object with the sensor. The 360° rotator makes this task easy and only takes a few seconds.
CNC designed tube for one of the best optics
The tube of this Omegon apochromatic telescope features a CNC-machined metal construction with a sophisticated anti-reflective aperture system and is fully lined with a velvety black fabric.
Extendable and fixable dew cap
The dew cap of this apochromat can be extended as well as retracted for transporting the telescope.
A camera adapter is included: M48x0.75 male thread
