Why optics with triplet lenses reveal more details
No more images without contrast. The triplet apochromat shows what is really possible: pure-colour and high-contrast observations and astrophotos. The key is a sophisticated three-lens design with premium OHARA FPL-53 glass for a crystal-clear image. Compared to most mirror systems, the better-defined optics allow you to see more and finer details when observing the planets, for example. All surfaces of the lens elements are treated with an effective multi-coating to prevent reflections. Enjoy memorable observations and shots.
2.5" focuser with gearing and ball bearings
This 2.5" geared focuser is a small spatial miracle, and large enough that no shading occurs. An ingenious hybrid technology comprising a Crayford focuser and a gear wheel makes it particularly strong and suitable for accessories weighing up to 4kg. The ball bearings provide for smooth focusing, allowing you to easily find the perfect focus. A 1:10 reduction gearing makes precise focusing a breeze. Astrophotographers around the world value precisely these features.
2" and M63 connection
The focuser has a standard 2" connection with a reduction to 1.25". This allows you to connect all accessories from our range, such as eyepieces and adapters. Additional M63 thread can be used for your full-frame camera or field flattener. This produces a completely illuminated and flat field of view.
CNC tube designed for the best optics
The tube of the Omegon Apo consists of a CNC-machined metal construction with a sophisticated anti-reflective aperture system. The entire tube is lined with a velvet-like, black fabric.
