Featuring Japanese Hoya glass, the FCD100 series offers little to no chromatic aberration for almost fluorite level imaging quality, For the best of the best imaging quality for the astronomer, the FCD100 range's high refractive index coupled with propriety EMD 'enhanced multi-layer deposition' means that high contrast and definition from the lunar surface, Saturn's rings, or deep sky objects will be within your telescope's capabilities.  The FCD100 range also features a dual speed (10:1) 2.5" Hexagonal focuser for extra smooth and precise focusing, a step up from standard crayford focusers found in cheaper makes. The saxon FCD100 127mm Apochromatic ED Refractor Telescope weighs 7.75kg without accessories, which is suitable as a primary lunar, planetary or deep sky astrophotography. You can also use it as a high-powered guide scope. The telescope includes a 2" dielectronic diagonal with 1.25" adapter which accepts both 2" and 1.25" sized eyepieces and accessories. The diagonal measures at 99% reflectivity to maximise light transmission, and is engineered to accept 2" filters on the telescope side and a brass compression ring on the eyepiece size.    Features 127mmmm aperture 952mm focal length (F/7.5) Hoya's FCD100 Apochromatic Triplet Glass EMD enhanced multi-layer deposition coatings 2.5" Dual Speed Hexagonal focuser Includes: 2" 28mm LET Eyepiece, 9x50 Erecting Finderscope, 2" Dielectric diagonal with 1.25" eyepiece.    Full Specifications Aperture 127mm Focal length 952mm Focal Ratio F/7.5 Optical design Japanese made FCD100 Refractor Focuser 2.5" hexagonal dual speed focuser Eyepiece included 2" 28mm LET Finderscope 9x50 erect image finderscope Tube dimensions 790mm (contracted dew shield) to 910mm (with dew shield) Tube weight 7.75kg (without accessories)   As the FCD100 127mm Apochromatic ED Triplet Refractor Telescope weighs 7.75kg without accessories, this telescope requires the HEQ5 Pro GOTO Mount and Tripod and above.    Recommended Accessories saxon 0.7x Focal Reducer for FCD100 TripletsReduce the focal ratio of your FCD100 127mm from F/7.5 to F/5.25 for long-exposure astrophotography and widefield imaging. saxon 2X ED Barlow Lens 2-inch with 1.25-inch AdapterDoubles the magnification of your telescope.
