Product description

The AP 140/980 optics: The telescope features a Doublet lens with SD glass, one 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 real 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 features a completely new design that clamps the eyepiece evenly and works much better than conventional adaptors with a simple brass clamp ring and screw.

It not only matters which telescope you buy but also where you buy it. Our additional services:

  • We are a leading telescope dealer and know the devices we sell. Our customer service team will gladly help you after your purchase if you have problems with assembly or operation.
  • We provide a copy of the 80-page Telescope ABC beginners handbook with every telescope.
