Refractors

The powerful ED apo is suitable for observing and astrophotography with an high-contrast image.

• 150 mm aperture, 1200 mm focal length, focal ratio f/8
• High image quality thanks to extra-low dispersion glass FPL53 (Ohara, Japan) and matching glass from Schott
• Highly effective coating for maximum transmission and minimum reflections
• Large rack and pinion focuser with 11:1 reduction for sensitive focusing
• 360° rotation adapter
• Tube in traditional white - heats up less during the day and is more visible at night

Takahashi offers rotating camera mounts for its telescopes, which are necessary because most of the company's focusers are not rotatable. However, this rotator also makes sense visually, as it allows the ZSP or other accessories to be conveniently rotated into the desired position. The quality is so high that there is no play even when the screw is loosened.

• Connection on the telescope side: M56x0.75 internal thread
• Connection on the camera side: M56x0.75 external thread
• Light path: 12.3 mm
• Weight: 110 g
