The ED APO 127mm f/7.5 apochromatic refractor from Explore Scientific is designed to provide exceptional optical performance, whether for visual observation or astrophotography. Thanks to its apochromatic triplet with special Hoya FCD-100 glass, it ensures high-level chromatic correction, with a Strehl ratio of 0.97, guaranteeing sharp and aberration-free images.

The lightweight and robust aluminum tube, combined with the HEXAFOC 2.5'' focuser with 1:10 reduction, allows for precise focusing, even with heavy accessories and large camera sensors. Its clear aperture of 65 mm eliminates vignetting in astrophotography. The f/7.5 aperture ratio makes it particularly versatile, allowing for short exposure times to capture fine details of nebulae, galaxies, and planets. This telescope is compact and easy to transport, ideal for amateur astronomers looking for a powerful instrument without compromising on portability.
