Explore Scientific ED127mm f/7.5 Essential Series Air-Spaced Triplet Refractor Telescope

Explore Scientific ED127mm f/7.5 Essential Series Air-Spaced Triplet Refractor Telescope - ES-ED127075-04

Introducing the Explore Scientific ED127mm Essential Series Air-Spaced Triplet Refractor Telescope, a Classic Refinement for Astrophotographers:

• Precision Front Cell: Equipped with a redesigned front cell featuring push-pull adjustments for precise tilt and centering, ensuring optimal collimation and pinpoint stars.

• Upgraded Focuser: Enjoy the new 2-inch two-speed rack and pinion focuser with robust locks and rotation adjustment, providing stability for your imaging setup.

• Enhanced Portability: A retractable dew shield adds convenience and portability to your stargazing adventures.

This telescope has a proven track record, catering to the needs of astrophotographers and meticulous visual astronomers.

It utilizes genuine HOYA FCD1 ED glass to unveil the wonders of the night sky in exquisite detail.

With true apochromatic performance, diffraction-limited optics, and ample aperture, this versatile model effortlessly showcases celestial TREASURES.

From the majestic edge-on Sombrero Galaxy to the captivating Pinwheel Galaxy and even the intricate Hadley Rille on the Moon, this telescope captures them all with precision.

Its air-spaced triplet optical design virtually eliminates chromatic aberrations, producing high-contrast, brilliant images.

This is achieved through the combination of authentic FCD1 HOYA extra-low dispersion (ED) glass and proprietary EMD enhanced multi-layer coatings on every optical surface.

The telescope's cradle rings are thoughtfully designed, featuring a built-in handle for secure grip.

The handle's top face is slotted to accommodate a 1/4x20 bolt for "piggyback" imaging with a DSLR. The bottom of the cradle ring includes a V-block (Vixen-style) plate for easy attachment to your equatorial mount.

Additionally, the Explore Scientific 2N1 Finder Scope Base is pre-installed (finder scope sold separately). Elevate your astrophotography and visual astronomy with this refined instrument.
