Refractor 140 mm

Availability: Manufactured on request Type: refractor

Medium-size refractor that targets both visual astronomers, interested in top quality planetary views, and imagers alike.

Both long focal ratio versions are aimed at planetary observers that want to enjoy best correction possible at the eyepiece. These series have a color correction which is tuned specially for planetary-visual peak wavelengths.
