The AP 102/714 optics consist of a triplet lens with a 102 mm aperture and a focal length of 714 mm. It meets the criteria of a full apochromat. Even at magnifications of around 300x, the image is free of annoying colour errors. Even bright stars are depicted in astrophotographs without annoying blue fringes!
The central element of the lens is made of FPL55 optical glass, which is comparable to the well-known FPL53. Another special glass supports colour correction. The triplet lens with air gap is fully adjustable. Each optical glass-air surface is multi-coated. The lens is in a temperature-compensated mount.
3.7” rack and pinion focuser: The large focuser is optimised for photography and carries loads up to 8 kg - fully sufficient for heavy cameras with accessories! There are also multiple internal threads available for screw-on adaptations, in particular for the recommended flattener. The focuser also rotates by 360° in order to select the correct field of view.
