Apochromatic 106mm Triplet Telescope for Astrophotography is built for those who want to combine light gathering power, portability, and optical perfection. Thanks to the high-quality FCD100 ED glass from Hoya (comparable to fluorite), this telescope delivers exceptionally sharp, color-pure images – ideal for deep-sky photography and planetary detail.
The 106 mm triplet objective with air gap and full-frame compatible 3.5″ focuser makes this a powerful instrument for mobile astrophotographers. The telescope is robust, lightweight, yet stable enough to effortlessly support heavy cameras (up to 10 kg).
✓ Triplet APO objective with FCD100 ED glass – color-free image
✓ Full-frame compatible with 3.5″ focuser + M63 thread
✓ Carry handle and mounting rail in one – for finder scope or accessories
✓ Super smooth 1:10 microfocuser with high load capacity
✓ Compact and travel-friendly – yet optically very capable
This telescope is designed for advanced users who want to work flexibly: while traveling, in the field, or at a fixed location. Thanks to its smart design (like the extendable dew shield and dual-function handle), it’s quick to set up, easy to align, and ready for serious imaging.
