102 mm high-correction triple apochromat (three lenses) with aluminum tube and 2.5" HEXAFOC precision eyepiece extension.

​Apochromatic are small and medium aperture area the measure of all things : it is the combination of good portability, very high contrast and sharpness of the image with the excellent opportunities offered by these devices for astrophotography , are found here. Advances in glass manufacturing have made high-quality apochromats possible in recent years for ever-widening buyers. With the new Explore Scientific FCD-100 Alu Hex this development has reached another highlight - the color purity of this device sets new standards in this price range. The optics design achieves a polystrehl of 0.97, a value which represents the highest correction.

This excellent apochromat is a multiverwenbares device: the fast focal ratio of f / 7 allows short exposure times for astrophotography, the high sharpness and excellent contrast make observations such as those of the North American fog or Andromeda possible as well as defined planet observations. The device is extremely light and compact - the dew can be inserted, thus achieving a highly transportable size friendly package. Modern eyewear and painstaking manufacturing have made telescopes here are emerging, offering new levels of pure observation enjoyment. Thus, this telescope is fully recommended not only as a travel scope, but also for quick observation in between, as well as for astrophotography. The high-quality 2.5 "focuser with 1:10 reduction completes the picture of this all-round device - a clear diameter of 65 mm also occurs in astrophotography with larger chips without vignetting through the eyepiece as this can be the case with smaller diameters.
