Thanks to a carefully optimized doublet lens combining a <strong>FPL-53 Ohara (Japan) <\/strong>and one element in the <strong>lanthanum<\/strong>, In addition, this telescope offers remarkable chromatic correction, comparable to that of many triplets, while retaining the mechanical and thermal simplicity of a doublet.<\/p>\n<p>Designed without compromise, the <strong>Photoline APO<\/strong> from TS-Optics focuses on real quality: optics, mechanics and ergonomics are all at the same level, for both demanding visual observation and modern astrophotography.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Optics that stand out from conventional ED doublets<\/h3>\n<p>The objective <strong>doublet air-spaced FPL-53 \/ lanthanum<\/strong> provides far superior chromatic control than conventional two-lens ED glasses.<\/p>\n<p>In the field, this translates into :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>From <strong>perfectly neutral stars<\/strong>, even on bright targets<\/li>\n<li>A <strong>high contrast in deep sky<\/strong>, with appreciable brightness<\/li>\n<li>Fine, clean lunar and planetary rendering without colored bangs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>User feedback confirms visual correction <strong>significantly higher than that of conventional 120 ED<\/strong>, and an image judged by many observers to be the best they have obtained in this diameter range, excluding the much more expensive premium instruments.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>125 mm: the ideal compromise diameter<\/h3>\n<p>Diameter <strong>125 mm<\/strong> is often considered the optimum balance point for an apochromatic telescope:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Clear gain in brightness and resolution over a 100-102 mm<\/li>\n<li>Weight content (<strong>7.57 kg with clamps<\/strong>), compatible with reasonable frames (EQ5, AVX, heavy AZ)<\/li>\n<li>Shorter, better-balanced tube than equivalent triplet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Faced with <strong>Photoline 102 mm<\/strong>, The 125mm version offers a perceptible gain in deep-sky and planetary images,<br \/>\nwhile maintaining excellent transportability.
