Explore Scientific 152mm Achromat Refractor Optical Tube

We introduce this high-quality and functional 152mm Achromat Refractor Optical Tube by Explore Scientific. This AR152 Air-Spaced Doublet is a classic air-spaced, crown-and-flint doublet achromatic refractor. At (6-inches) 152mm of aperture, it gives the highest resolution of the AR Series and the brightest images. The goal of the design was to offer a very significant value by providing precise diffraction-limited optics at a reasonable price that allows more people to explore the sky with an (f/6.5) wide-field large aperture refractor. Deep-sky objects and images are beautiful at low powers, and for a similar aperture apochromatic refractor, you would pay all at a small fraction of the price.

At high power, the planets, moon, and double stars are revealed in sharp, high contrast This is made to handle the educational outreach and the rigors of public star parties; It comes with heavy-duty, high-quality components, including a 2" dual-speed focuser, a one-piece 2" diagonal with 99% dielectric coatings, the  by Explore Scientific installed with an 8 X 50 non-illuminated straight-through finderscope and quick release bracket, and a cradle ring assembly with Vixen-style dovetail mount. Be ready to discover the Universe by adding a few eyepieces and the equatorial mount of your choice. Buy to see it yourself! Add to cart now!
