Explore Scientific ED152 f/8 Air-Spaced Triplet Refractor Carbon Fiber Telescope

DESCRIPTION Unleash the Universe with the Explore Scientific ED152 f/8 Air-Spaced Triplet FCD1 Series Apochromatic Refractor Telescope in Carbon Fiber For astronomers seeking optical excellence, the ED152 Carbon Fiber Apochromatic Refractor Telescope is a game-changer.  What makes this telescope stand out is how it defies convention by delivering exceptional performance without the burden of bulk and weight. When venturing beyond 127mm in aperture, the need for larger, heavier equatorial mounts becomes apparent. However, the ED152 Air-Spaced Triplet FCD1 Series in Carbon Fiber, weighing in at just 20.5 lbs, defies conventional expectations. Despite its lightweight design, this powerful refractor offers a significant 44% increase in light grasp and image brightness compared to the ED127 Air-Spaced Triplet, and an impressive 125% increase compared to the ED102 Air-Spaced Triplet. What's more, the ED152 is perfectly suited for use with mid-priced, lightweight equatorial mounts, making it
