The APM 152/1200 Apochromat is a very powerful 6" refractor.
It features a Doublet optics with OHARA FPL 51 ED glass. The other lens is made of lanthanum. This combination results in optical performance that is far above the usual in this price category. To guarantee the typical high quality of APM telescopes, each optical system undergoes an interferometric test at 532 nm (green) before shipping.
This Apo is an impressive allrounder. With its obstruction-free optics and 6-inch aperture, even visual observation of deep sky objects is fun. The focal length of 1200 millimetres, combined with the razor-sharp image, results in high contrast with close double star systems and great detail when observing planets.
Of course, with such a high-quality APO, you will mainly be taking photographs: the focuser with a 1:10 reduction ratio remains stable even under high loads and is therefore ideal for photography.
The attention to detail can also be found in the included 2" to 1.25" eyepiece adaptor, which features 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.
The telescope comes in a sturdy aluminium case.
