With a 103 mm aperture and 700 mm focal length (f\/6.8), it delivers bright images with high contrast and fine details: nebulae and galaxies with true image scale, and visually sharp planets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ED triplet with serious focuser<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The triplet objective with ED glass controls chromatic aberrations, ensuring stars remain sharp points. The large 3.3-inch focuser supports complete camera trains without flexing and provides clearance for full-frame sensors with matching Askar correctors. The transport case protects the tube on the way to dark skies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>In the box<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Optical tube APO 103\/700 triplet with ED glass<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3.3 inch focuser<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transport bag<\/li>\n<\/ul>\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\">For: advanced astrophotographers looking for an all-round triplet for deep-sky with the option of visual use. Not for: those who primarily shoot widefield; the FMA180 Pro does that faster and lighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Specifications<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Optical design<\/td><td>Apochromat, ED triplet<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Opening<\/td><td>103 mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Focal length<\/td><td>700 mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Opening ratio<\/td><td>f\/6.8<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Focuser<\/td><td>3.3 inches<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Execution<\/td><td>OTA (loose tube)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unsure about the right tube for your camera and mount?
