THE OPTICS

THE OMEGON ED APOCHROMATIC REFRACTOR IS DISTINGUISHED BY ITS OUTSTANDING OPTICS, INGENIOUS DESIGN AND EXCELLENT MECHANICS. THIS UNIQUE TELESCOPE ENABLES THE ASTROPHOTOGRAPHER, VISUAL OBSERVER AND NATURE ENTHUSIAST TO ENJOY THE STARRY SKY AND THE NATURAL WORLD TO THE BEST. NEEDLESS TO SAY THAT STARS AS THICK AS THE TIP OF A PIN ARE CLEARLY DISTINGUISHED EVEN AT THE EDGES OF THE FIELD OF VIEW, AND THAT THE MECHANICS ARE OF EXCEPTIONAL PRECISION.

THE APOCHROMATIC DUBLET

TRUECOLOR GLASS HAS BEEN USED FOR THE OMEGON DUBLET AND APOCHROMATIC LENS, THE TWO-LENS OBJECTIVE FEATURES A SKILLFUL COMBINATION OF OHARA FPL-53 AND S-NBM51 GLASS. THESE ARE SPECIAL GLASSES WITH A HIGH AND LOW REFRACTIVE INDEX AND THE BEST LIGHT TRANSMISSION PROPERTIES. VERY PARTICULAR IS THE S-NBM5 GLASS, WHICH IS USED ESPECIALLY FOR THE APOCHROMATIC SCHEMES OF FLUORESCENT MICROSPECTORS. WHAT DO YOU EARN? THAT YOUR OPTICS WILL SHOW YOU PARTICULARLY SHARP AND CONTRAST IMAGES! THE DELICATE SHADES YOU WILL CATCH DURING PLANETARY OBSERVING, FOR EXAMPLE, WON'T BE SHOWN TO YOU BY ANY SCHMIDT-CASSEGRAIN TELESCOPE.

THE CARBON TUBE

THIS APOCHROMATIC IS SUITABLE FOR VISUAL OBSERVING BUT IT IS SPECIFICALLY USED FOR Astrophotography. BENEFIT FROM THE ADVANTAGES OF THE CARBON TUBE: IT IS PARTICULARLY LIGHT AND THUS ALSO IDEAL FOR SMALL FRAMES. THE TUBE ALSO OFFERS YOU HIGH STABILITY AND ONLY MINIMAL CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE. VERY USEFUL FEATURES FOR ASTROPHOTOGRAPHERS: FOCUS REMAINS STABLE, EVEN ALL NIGHT. THE ANTI-DEW BAND IS ALSO MADE OF CARBON AND EASILY REMOVABLE. IT IS ALSO WRAPPED IN A BLACK FELT.

THE FOCUSER

THE TELESCOPE IS EQUIPPED WITH A CRAYFORD-TYPE FOCUSER. IT BELONGS TO A NEW GENERATION OF FOCUSERS, WITH PATENT APPLICATION PENDING. ABSOLUTE PRECISION AND HUGE BEARING FORCE ARE THE MAIN QUALITIES OF THIS FOCUSER. IN FACT, IT CAN SUPPORT UP TO 10 KG OF ACCESSORIES THANKS TO THE PRESENCE OF AN ADDITIONAL LOCKING SCREW. EVEN UNDER THE HIGHEST STRESSES THE FOCUSER DOESN'T MOVE A MILLIMETER: ONCE YOU HAVE FOUND THE FOCUS, IT DOESN'T MOVE ANYMORE WHATEVER YOU DO.

THE 1:11 REDUCTION IS A VALUE AID FOR FOCUSING, WHICH CAN THEREFORE BE MORE PRECISE THAN MOST TELESCOPES. DO YOU DO ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY WITH LARGE FORMAT CHIPS OR DO YOU THINK OF DOING IT IN THE FUTURE? EVEN WITH LARGE CAMERAS I GET IMAGES WITHOUT VIGNETTING. THE FOCUSER IS ROTATABLE: LOOSEN THE LOCKING SCREW AND A 360° ROTATION IS IMMEDIATELY POSSIBLE.

CARRYING CASE INCLUDED

THE ALUMINUM CASE INCLUDED IN THE SHIPPING IS THE IDEAL PROTECTION FOR PRECIOUS OPTICS. ULTRA-STURDY, WITH METAL HANDLES AND REINFORCEMENTS, IT WITHSTANDS ANY IMPACT WITHOUT PROBLEMS. INSIDE YOU WILL FIND PERFECTLY SHAPED FOAM COMPARTMENTS WHICH WILL KEEP THE TUBE IN THE PRECISE POSITION IN WHICH YOU PLACE IT.
