In brief:
- 4-element Petzval system
- 3" R&P focuser with reduction gear
- Suitable for visual and photographic use
The AP 80/600 optics are a highly portable apochromatic refractor for astrophotography with a corrected image field up to full format and for observation up to the highest magnification range. The 4-element Petzval system witha colour-correcttriplet lens and a corrector lens built into the tube is a true Flatfield Apo.
A true allrounder:
This portable telescope can be used for almost all areas of amateur astronomy and offers very good optical performance.
- Deep sky astrophotography with a focal length of 600 mm and a very large corrected image field. Everything from high-resolution cameras with fine pixels to full-frame cameras can be used. Easy to use: Simply focus and you are at the optimum distance for very good field correction.
- Planet and moon photography: thanks to the excellent correction of the optics on the axis and in the field, sharp and high-contrast images can be achieved, even with a focal length extension.
- Visual observation: the generous working distance also allows the use of 2" accessories.
3" R&P focuser: The CNC-machined focuser is optimised for photography and can support a load of up to 8 kg. The adjustment range is very generous at 110 mm. The focuser tube is adjusted via a rack and pinion mechanism. The rack is decoupled from the focuser tube bearing. This guarantees fine and precise adjustment even at maximum payload. In addition to the 1.25" and 2" barrel extensions, the focuser also has threads for screw adapters.
