Compared to the predecessor model, this new version has the following advantages:
- Built-in tilting flange ("tilter")
- Degree scale on the rotator
- M48 end piece has internal filter thread
- Tube is made of one piece for even better stability
The product photos still show the predecessor model. The current model looks almost exactly the same.
The ToupTek HOPE D60 is designed as an excellent telescope for astrophotography. Unlike bulky reflecting telescopes, this compact Planar APO refractor combines portability with a professional five-element optical system, minimizing chromatic aberration and delivering diffraction-limited clarity.
With its fast f/4.66 focal ratio and built-in field flattener, the HOPE D60 is a true astrograph, providing wide, flat images without the need for additional accessories. A dual-speed focuser and versatile threaded connections make setup easy for newcomers, while giving advanced users precise control for capturing galaxies, nebulae, and star fields.
