Advances in glass production in recent years have made it possible to manufacture high-quality apochromatic telescopes for broader consumer groups. With the new \u003cb\u003eEXPLORE SCIENTIFIC FCD-100 CF Alu Hex\u003c\/b\u003e, this evolution has reached a new peak: 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 representing maximum correction.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis excellent apochromatic is a very versatile device: the fast \u003cb\u003ef\/6 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 clarity. It is a very lightweight 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 focuser with 1:10 reduction\u003c\/b\u003e completes the image of this versatile device: thanks to the large clear aperture of 65 mm, no vignetting occurs through the 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 APOs 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\u0026amp;Pinion focuser with 1:10, 2.0\" diagonal mirror with 99% reflectivity (see item number: 0112084(AL), 0112106(AL), 0112132(AL), 0112155(CF))\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 focuser with 1:10, 2.0\" diagonal mirror with 99% reflectivity (see item 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 focuser with 1:10, 2.0\" diagonal mirror with 99% reflectivity (see item number: 0112165(CF))\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTECHNICAL DATA\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAperture: 80 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocal length: 480 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAperture ratio: f\/6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube weight: 2.6 kg\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocal position: 150 mm from the connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-lens apochromatic with two air-spaced chambers and a 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'' 99% diagonal mirror\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo extension tubes for the focuser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGP Level dovetail plate\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDust caps for the objective and focuser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniversal finder shoe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Explore Scientific","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52791584555351,"sku":"112086","price":1458.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/6198\/6860\/files\/0112086_M2.jpg?v=1770989604","url":"https:\/\/astrotelescopios.com\/en-us\/products\/explore-scientific-ed-apo-80mm-f-6-fcd-100-alu-hex","provider":"Astro Telescopios","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
