ED-80 APO refractor Astro Professional 3 lenses

Our Professional Series offers telescope tubes which meet the highest requirements. Only tubes that meet our extraordinary standards regarding optical and mechanical quality are used. The ED telescopes for example captivate through their chroma and excellent contrast. The achromatic refractors are equipped with particularly high-quality lens-systems that are not comparable to “normal” Fraunhofers. All focusers used in this series are suitable for astrofotography. This series was knowingly build in a modular way, so the customer can custom-build his telescope out of our components. If you have any questions about compiling the parts our team is there for you to help!

Defining a new optical class!
 

The Astro-Professional ED 80 APO is a triplet refractor that meets highest requirements. In contrast to many other ED refractors which are usually equipped with 2 lenses (and only 1 of them actual ED glass) the ED 80 triplet is equipped with 3 lenses - 2 of them made out of highest-quality ED glass. Different to a 2-lens refractor the ED 80 triplet offers much more brilliancy regarding the image definition. The objectivs are cemented and need no readjustment.

The finderscope is made out of high quality aluminium and has different lighting-levels so it can be used for both celestial and terrestrial observations.

The optionally available 2” diagonal offers an 99° dielectric protection layer and 1/10 lambda surface accuracy

The tube is equipped with a 2” Crayford astro-focuser with 1,25” adapter ring. It is particularly suitable for astrophotography and can be turned 360° and fixed completely - the focuser can be perfectly adjusted to the viewer.
 

The main operational areas the ED is made for are astrophotography, moon, planet and terrestrial observations. It is also the perfect choice if you look for a powerful guiding scope!

The tube is equipped with a very precisely working 2” Crayford Focuser with 1:10 reduction. This focuser is high end and absolutely suitable for astrophotography. Due to the 1:10 reduction the camera (or the eyepiece) can be focused precisely. The focuser comes with an additional 1,25” adapter ring for smaller accessories. Since the focuser can be turned 360° it is fully adjustable to the viewer. A scale is attached on the focuser.

The red dot finderscope is mounted on a metal frame and is adjustable in its luminous intensity and the size of the dot. You can easily adjust the settings to your needs and find your exact way through the sky..
