The TS Optics AP 155/1240 is amongst the largest refracting telescopes on the market. An exceptional refracting telescope which can provide a lifetime’s worth of joy and will enhance any observatory!
- The apochromatic triplet lens with an FPL55 element and additional Lanthanium special glass displays pinsharp stars and bright planets without colour fringing.
- Multi-coating on every glass-to-air surface for maximum transmission, internal screens within the lens tube prevent scattered light
- The improved lens mount keeps its alignment perfectly featuring traction and pressure screws.
- Despite its large aperture, the apochromat is relatively lightweight and can be mounted on a Skywatcher EQ-6 or iOptron GEM45, for example.
- Every apochromat comess with a manufacturer’s test certificate. The apochromat is given a serial number. Furthermore, every apochromat is tested on the optical bench and optimally collimated.
3.7” rack and pinion focuser: The large focuser is optimised for photography and carries loads up to 8 kg - fully sufficient for heavy cameras with accessories! There are also multiple internal threads available for screw-on adaptations, in particular for the recommended flattener. The focuser also rotates by 360° in order to select the correct field of view.
Astrophotography: The apochromat can be paired with all suitable correctors. We recommend the [cms://shop/p_id=60621"]: This corrector screws directly onto the focuser’s M92 thread. The corrector provides illumination and correction up to an image circle diameter of 60 mm. The focal length remains unaltered.
