Apochromatic Refractors
We can offer you a range of very high quality refractors in this category. These include e.g. our two- and three-lens APM Apo instruments, our astrograph series, available as APM or APM-LZOS models. Equipped with Riccardi reducers / correctors or as a high-end version CNC LW II with Feathertouch extracts. All around excellent instruments that should leave no wishes.
The powerful ED apo is suitable for observing and astrophotography with an high-contrast image.
- 150 mm aperture, 1200 mm focal length, focal ratio f/8
- High image quality thanks to extra-low dispersion glass FPL53 (Ohara, Japan) and matching glass from Schott
- Highly effective coating for maximum transmission and minimum reflections
- Large rack and pinion focuser with 11:1 reduction for sensitive focusing
- 360° rotation adapter
- Tube in traditional white - heats up less during the day and is more visible at night

Takahashi offers rotating camera mounts for its telescopes, which are necessary because most of the company's focusers are not rotatable. However, this rotator also makes sense visually, as it allows the ZSP or other accessories to be conveniently rotated into the desired position. The quality is so high that there is no play even when the screw is loosened.
