The AP 140/980 optics: The telescope features a Doublet optics with SD glass, one lens of which is made of FPL-53 to achieve maximum performance. This innovative combination results in colour correction that is far above the norm in this price category. Each lens undergoes an interferometric test at 532 nm (green) before shipping!
The observation of close double stars with high contrast and detailed planetary observations are a real pleasure with this instrument! Due to its relatively low weight, it can also be used on compact mounts. The telescope is a true allrounder!
The 2.5" focuser with rack and pinion drive and 1:10 reduction remains stable even under high loads and is very well suited for photography. The attention to detail can also be found in the included eyepiece adaptor, which has a completely new design that clamps the eyepiece evenly and thus works much better than conventional adaptors with a simple brass clamp ring and screw.
