| | With true diffraction limited optics and a far-reaching 152mm aperture, the ED152 Air-Spaced Triplet in Carbon Fiber offers limitless possibilities for a lifetime of astronomical exploration. Designed to deliver crystal clear imagery with true color and rich contrast, the ED152CF is an ideal optical instrument to capture the universe's breathtaking sights. Through this instrument, deep sky objects can appear as if etched in crystal. Some have described the views as "three-dimensional" against a very dark sky because of the telescope's unobstructed, high contrast optical system. Features like the filamentary structures of nebulae are rendered with splendid detail, giving one the impression they are looking through a much larger aperture telescope. Some of the standout features of the ED152CF include: HOYA FCD1 ED Glass: The ED152CF combines genuine HOYA FCD1 extra-low dispersion (ED) glass and proprietary EMD enhanced multi-layer coatings on all optical surfaces to generate high-contrast images with crisp definition. This combination also allows those seeking to push magnification based on their choices of eyepieces or focal extenders to do so without sacrificing clarity. Apochromatic Design: To provide the truest views of the cosmos, the ED152CF has an air-spaced triplet optical design that virtually eliminates chromatic aberrations. 152mm Aperture: With its 152mm aperture, this telescope drinks in light to reach further into deep sky and produce brilliant images of elusive celestial sights as well as bright favorites. Carbon Fiber OTA: The carbon fiber optical tube assembly of the ED152CF greatly reduces the weight of this impressive telescope to a manageable 20.5 pounds – making it a perfect match for more portable equatorial mounts such as the precision Explore Scientific / Losmandy G11 with PMC-Eight. The material also eliminates focus change attributed to shrinking or expansion caused by temperature fluctuations. Three-Point Collimation Cell To guarantee precision performance, the ED152CF refractor includes a three-point collimation cell that allows for pinpoint adjustments of the objective lens. What's included with the ED152CF: • Two-Speed 3" Hexagonal Focuser • 99% Reflective 3-inch Diagonal (with 2-inch and 1.25" Adapter) • Cradle Ring with Handle and Losmandy Style Dovetail Plate • Dew Shield • Deluxe Case • | |

Explore Scientific's 1.25" focal extenders — which are available in powers of 2x, 3x, and 5x — add versatility to your eyepiece line-up by allowing each eyepiece to perform at two powers.
For example, if your particular eyepiece/telescope combination results in a 50x power, adding a 2x focal extender will change that to a 100x power.
To guarantee superior image quality, our focal extenders use multiple lens elements that are made of high-quality glass and fully multi-coated with EMD coatings to reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations. |

The 127mm apochromatic refractors in Explore Scientific's FCD100 series will produce stunning views of a wealth of celestial wonders from rilles etched into the lunar terrain to billowing nebulae and churning galaxies that populate the Messier catalog. To provide the truest view of the cosmos, these telescopes feature an air-spaced triplet optical design that virtually eliminates chromatic aberrations. In addition, they have a combination of genuine HOYA FCD100 extra-low dispersion (ED) glass and proprietary EMD enhanced multi-layer coatings on all optical surfaces to generate brilliant high-contrast images with crisp definition. The quality of the optics also allows those seeking to push magnification based on their choices of eyepieces or focal extenders to do so without sacrificing clarity. To further guarantee precision performance, these telescopes include a three-point collimation cell that allows for pinpoint adjustments of the objective lens. |
