At f\/6.3, this is the all-rounder for astrophotography on EQ5-class mounts and demanding visual observation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An apochromat converges all colors to a focal point. Stars remain white and point-like, without the purple edges of simple lenses: precisely what a camera sensor would mercilessly reveal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Omegon-Apochromatische-refractor-Pro-APO-AP-80-500-ED-Carbon-OTA-12-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Omegon 80\/500 Pro APO ED Carbon refractor\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Omegon-Apochromatische-refractor-Pro-APO-AP-80-500-ED-Carbon-OTA-3-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Omegon 80\/500 Pro APO in aluminum transport case\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8d39b2df wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Omegon-Apochromatische-refractor-Pro-APO-AP-80-500-ED-Carbon-OTA-8-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"The Omegon 80\/500 Power Linear Crayford Focuser\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Power Linear Crayford: heavy-duty<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2-inch Power Linear Crayford focuser with 1:10 micro-fine adjustment carries full-size camera trains without slipping and rotates 360 degrees for proper framing. The field is suitable for full-frame sensors without vignetting; with the matching flattener, it also becomes flat all the way to the corners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The aluminum transport case is included: this system is made for travel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Included<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>TrueColor ED-doublet 80\/500 (FPL-53 and S-NBM51)<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Carbon tube<\/li>\n\n\n<li>2 inch Power Linear Crayford focuser with 1:10 reduction and 360-degree rotation<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Aluminum transport case<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Featured accessories<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those shooting on larger sensors will immediately opt for the version with a matching 2-inch field flattener. The Omegon Powerbank 10k 12V (\u20ac39.90) powers the mount and camera, and the Omegon Cronus 7mm eyepiece (\u20ac79) provides 71x magnification visually with high contrast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For whom yes, for whom no<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who it's for: someone looking for a lightweight, thermally stable apochromat for astrophotography and visual observation on a mid-range mount. Who it's not for: someone primarily shooting full-frame; in that case, get the version with the field flattener from the start, as it's more cost-effective than buying it separately later.
