Omegon Apochromatic Refractor Pro APO AP 140/910 Triplet ED FCD-100

At the forefront of celestial exploration, the Omegon Apochromatic Refractor Pro APO AP 140/910 Triplet ED FCD-100 stands as a beacon for amateur astronomers and telescope enthusiasts who seek superior image quality for both visual observation and astrophotography. Engineered with a large aperture tailored for small home observatories, this telescope is an investment in top-tier astronomical equipment.

Key Features:

  • Triplet APO Objective with FCD100 ED Lens: Experience a high-quality apochromatic lens system, which provides a true-colour and high-contrast image free of chromatic aberration.
  • Optimised Light Collection: Its 140mm aperture coupled with f/6.5 optics is adept at capturing light, making it especially suitable for areas with minimal light pollution and for the discerning observation of tightly paired binary stars.
  • 3.5-inch Hybrid Focuser: The robust construction supports heavy accessories (up to 10kg), featuring 1:10 fine focusing, adaptable for precision in astrophotography.
  • Comprehensive Accessories Supplied: This comprehensive package includes CNC tube clamps, GP level mounting rail, finderscope shoe, and a pull-out dew shield—preparing you for a multitude of observational endeavours.

Designed for Exceptional Astronomy Photos:

  • Embedded with FCD100 glass by Hoya, Japan, this apochromat is specially designed to yield astrophotography results with unparalleled colour fidelity, even at higher magnifications.

Advanced Technological Innovation in FCD100 Glass Production:

  • Hoya's innovation in producing FCD100 glass is reflected in its extraordinarily low dispersion qualities, on par with fluorite, effectively eradicating chromatic aberrations when paired with high refractive index optical glass.

Versatile 3.5" Focuser Compatibility:

  • Accommodate APS-C to full-frame cameras seamlessly, backed by the hybrid technology of rack and bearings for smooth and secure focusing.

Integrated M63 Thread Connection:

  • In addition to the standard 2-inch and 1.25-inch eyepiece adapters, a 63mm internal thread permits stable connections to flatteners or reducers.

Dual-Purpose Handle Design:

  • Practicality meets innovation with a handle that facilitates transport and serves as an accessory mounting solution, allowing for the addition of guide scopes and cameras.

What's Included:

  • Apochromat 140/910 with adjustable Hoya ED glass
  • CNC tube clamps and carrying case for portability
  • Extendable dew shield ensuring optimal viewing conditions
  • Finder scope adapter for additional observation precision
  • 2-inch/1.25-inch reducer adapter for various camera and eyepiece compatibilities

The Omegon Apochromatic Refractor Pro APO AP 140/910 Triplet ED FCD-100 encapsulates a synergy of precision engineering, high-quality materials, and comprehensive functionality, propelling novice astronomers and seasoned observers into a realm of clarity and astronomical discovery.
