Description
The Explore Scientific AR127 Air-Spaced Doublet is a classic air-spaced, crown-and-flint doublet achromatic refractor reborn to produce a superior-class optical figure in a short (f/6.5) focal length design. With the AR127 model, you will be impressed by the stunning images at the eyepiece, all at a small fraction of the price you'd pay for a comparably sized apochromatic refractor.
Designed to handle the rigors of public star parties and educational outreach, the Explore Scientific AR Series telescopes come with heavy-duty, high-quality components, including a 2" dual-speed focuser, a one-piece 2" diagonal with 99% dielectric coatings, Explore Scientific installed with an 8 X 50 non-illuminated straight-through finderscope and quick release bracket and a cradle ring assembly with Vixen-style dovetail mount. Add a few eyepieces and the alt-azimuth or equatorial mount of your choice, and you'll be ready to discover the Universe!
