Apochromatic telescope 106mm triplet for astrophotography

Apochromatic telescope 106mm triplet for astrophotography is built for those who want to combine brightness, portability and optical perfection. Thanks to Hoya's high-quality FCD100 ED glass (comparable to fluorite), this telescope delivers exceptionally sharp, color-pure images - ideal for deep-sky photography as well as planetary detail.

The 106 mm triplet objective with air gap and full-frame capable 3.5” focuser makes this a powerful tool for mobile astrophotographers. The telescope is rugged, light, and yet stable enough to carry heavy cameras (up to 10 kg) with ease.

✓ Triplet APO lens with FCD100 ED glass - color error-free image
✓ Full-frame capable with 3.5” focuser + M63 thread
✓ Carrying handle and mounting rail in one - for tracking scope or accessories
✓ Super flexible 1:10 microfocuser with high load capacity
✓ Compact and travel-friendly - but optically very capable

This telescope is designed for advanced users who want flexibility: traveling, in the field or at a fixed location. Its clever design (such as the retractable dew cap and dual function of the handle) makes it quick to set up, easy to align, and immediately ready for serious shooting.

Application

• Deep-sky astrophotography (with APS-C or full-frame cameras)
• High-res photography of the moon and planets
• Observatories, mobile astrophotography and lightweight EQ mounts

✓ What you can see with it
