High-performance super-apochromatic optics

L'Esprit-70EDX is based on a carefully corrected f/7 triplet optic, including a central lens in Hoya FCD100 glassequivalent to the FPL-53. This type of design enables perfect correction of chromatic aberration, even on bright stars, with exceptional contrast.

An instrument designed for wide-field imaging

A reducer / corrector 0.92x (ref. 20332, optional) is available to optimize field correction and reduce the focal length to around 450 mm.
