Highly corrected 80mm triple apochromatic (three-lens) telescope with aluminum tube and 2.5" hexafoc precision focuser. Apochromatic telescopes are the gold standard in the small-to-medium aperture range: combining portability, very high image contrast and sharpness, with the excellent characteristics they offer for astrophotography, they are unsurpassed. Advances in glass production in recent years have made it possible to manufacture high-quality apochromatic telescopes for a wider range of consumers. With the new Explore Scientific FCD-100 CF Alu Hex, this evolution has reached a new high point: the color purity of this device sets new standards in this price category. The optical design achieves a Strehl ratio of 0.97, representing maximum correction. This excellent apochromatic telescope is highly versatile: its fast f/6 aperture allows for short exposure times in astrophotography, while its high sharpness and extraordinary contrast make it possible to make general observations of the North America Nebula or the Andromeda Galaxy, as well as planets, with exceptional clarity. It is a very lightweight and compact instrument: the dew shield can be tucked away to save space. With state-of-the-art glass and precision manufacturing, these telescopes allow you to fully enjoy your observations. Furthermore, this telescope is not only highly recommended for travel, but also for quick observations and astrophotography. The high-quality 2.5" hexafoc eyepiece with 1:10 reduction completes the picture of this versatile device: thanks to the large 65mm clear diameter, vignetting through the eyepiece is not present, even when astrophotography with large chips, as can happen with smaller diameters.
