The ED doublet in this Evostar 120EDX uses Ohara FPL-53 japanese glassrenowned for its excellent correction of chromatic aberrations. Thanks to a focal ratio of f/7In addition to the advantages of the MHTC multi-coating, this telescope is faster for astrophotography without sacrificing fine detail. MHTC multi-layer coatings ensure 99.5 luminous transmittance %for maximum contrast and perfectly punctual stars, even at the edge of the field.
The mechanics have been completely revised with a 2.8" Crayford focuser with 11:1 micro-reduction mounted on a 360° rotating adapter, ideal for photographic framing.
