Explore Scientific ED APO 80mm f/6 FCD-1 Alu 2" R&P Focuser
Description:
The Explore Scientific ED APO 80mm f/6 FCD-1 is a triplet apochromatic refractor designed for both astrophotography and visual observation. Its ED optics, using Hoya FCD-1 glass, ensure outstanding chromatic correction, sharpness, and high contrast across the entire field. The compact aluminium tube is lightweight and transportable, making it ideal for use with small to medium equatorial mounts.
The 2" rack & pinion focuser with 1:10 micro-reduction allows smooth and accurate focusing, even with heavy imaging setups. The scope includes a 2" diagonal mirror with 99% reflectivity and a 2" to 1.25" adapter. A field flattener is available separately for use with large sensors.
With its high optical quality and versatility, this refractor suits demanding amateurs and astrophotographers alike for deep-sky imaging, lunar, and planetary viewing. A finder bracket slot is provided, though no finder is included.
