Explore Scientific 127 mm f/7.5 FCD100 CF Triplet Refractor
The Explore Scientific 127mm FCD100 Carbon Fiber Air-Spaced Triplet Refractor is a superb refractor that can show you the beauty of the night sky like you have never seen before. Enjoy stunning views of celestial marvels such as the lunar topography's desolate beauty or the brightest deep-sky treasures of the Messier catalog.
This refractor includes all of the original EDT-127-CF's most popular features but with the added bonus of bona fide premium HOYA FCD100 ED glass, which has characteristics akin to Ohara FPL-53 glass. Depending on technological ingenuity, Explore Scientific has successfully initiated the mass production of high-performance optical glass at the core of the FCD line. Explore is able to achieve unparalleled advanced chromatic aberration correction due to the combination of this high volume production and high refractive index optical glass. HOYA FCD100 is widely understood to be one of the best ED glass types available.
Featuring an authentic diffraction-limited design and compact size supporting impromptu observing sessions, this supreme quality telescope is the perfect grab-and-go instrument for night sky exploration. With an air-spaced triplet optical configuration that all but eliminates chromatic distortions, the 127 mm FCD100 produces radiant high contrast images by incorporating genuine HOYA FCD100 ED (extra-low dispersion) glass with Explore's EMD enhanced multi-layer coatings on all optical surfaces.
Furthermore, this incredible telescope also comes with a new extremely rigid 2.5" Dual-Speed Hexagonal focuser that offers up to 10 lbs. of gear load support and 10:1 micro-focusing capabilities. The Explore ED127 Carbon Fiber Triplet Refractor package also includes an integrated dew shield, cradle ring with handle, Vixen-style dovetail plate, Explore finder scope base, and 2" diagonal with 99% reflectivity. Does NOT come with a case or finder scope.Supplier SKU
