Product description Outfitted with upgraded optical glass, the Explore Scientific FCD100 T3 Series ED127mm f/7.5 Apo Triplet Carbon Fiber Telescope utilizes superior Japanese-made Hoya FCD100 extra low-dispersion (ED) and anomalous dispersion glass to correct chromatic aberration for true color fidelity and improved contrast. Complementing the glass is an apochromatic triplet lens configuration that corrects spherical aberration to improve resolution and sharpness, and further corrects chromatic aberration. These design features produce a powerful optical tube assembly that can be used to see detailed views of celestial objects from the Moon to deep sky objects like nebulae and galaxies. The optical performance, when coupled with its large focuser, makes this an ideal OTA for astrophotography and imaging, or as a convenient grab-and-go option for fast observation sessions.This version of the ED127 OTA is outfitted with a Starlight Instruments 3" rack-and-pinion dual speed focuser. Explore Scientific upgraded to this focuser to ensure full coverage of astrophotography gear with larger imaging sensors. The dual-speed configuration ensures ultra-precise focusing to properly split binary stars and resolve fine details single-speed focusers are unable to achieve. Its carbon fiber optical tube is temperature-resistant with reduced expansion/contraction due to temperature changes that can affect the fine focusing abilities. In addition to the resistance, the carbon fiber is as durable as aluminum but with a reduced overall weight. - Optical Performance
