Features:

  • 103mm Objective Lens: The large 103mm objective lens enables the telescope to gather a significant amount of light, resulting in brighter and more detailed images, particularly advantageous for observing faint celestial objects like deep-sky galaxies and nebulae.
  • 202x Highest Useful Magnification: With a highest useful magnification of 202x, this telescope allows for detailed observations of astronomical targets, providing astronomers and astrophotographers the capability to explore intricate features on celestial bodies with clarity and precision.
  • 825mm Focal Length: The telescope's focal length of 825mm and f/8.0 aperture ratio strike an optimal balance, making it well-suited for astrophotography, capturing clear and detailed images of celestial objects, and delivering impressive wide-angle astrophotographs with full-frame cameras.
  • AX103S ED Apochromat with Triplet ED Objective: The triplet ED objective lens is designed to minimize chromatic aberration, ensuring that colors come to a sharp focus together. This leads to higher image contrast and clarity, particularly when viewing bright objects like stars.
  • Fully Coated Triplet ED Objective: The fully coated objective lens reduces glare and improves light transmission, which enhances the overall image quality. It helps to deliver clear, sharp, and high-contrast views of celestial objects.
  • Optimized for Full-Frame Photography: This feature makes the telescope well-suited for astrophotography with full-frame cameras. It means that the entire image sensor of the camera can be utilized, capturing more of the night sky in a single frame and producing stunning wide-angle astrophotographs.
  • Built-in Field Flattener Lens for Sharp Images: The built-in field flattener lens ensures that the entire field of view is sharp and free from optical distortions. This is crucial for astrophotography, where precise and distortion-free imaging is essential.
  • Very High Sharpness and Contrast: The combination of the ED apochromat and the field flattener lens results in very high sharpness and contrast. This means that you'll see more fine details on celestial objects, such as lunar craters, planetary features, and intricate deep-sky structures like galaxies and star clusters.
  • Included Accessories: This package comes with tube clamps for secure fastening and a handy carry handle for portability. Additionally, it includes an illuminated 7x50 viewfinder telescope for clear observations and a collapsible mirror for versatile usage. Enjoy peace of mind with the included limited 1-2 year warranty.
