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.
Paired with our Field Corrector for Medium Format, the 140 mm F/6.5 is suitable for imagers using sensors bigger than full-frame.
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.
