The Explore Scientific ED152 carbon fiber optical tube assembly is not only beautiful, it is strong and lightweight. The 152mm is an Explore Scientific Air-Spaced Apochromatic Triplet Refractor, with true APO optics. The optics are diffraction limited at .25PV or better and use Genuine ED glass from Hoya Japan is respected for its quality. Enhanced Multi-Layer Coatings (EMD) are deposited on optical elements to boost contrast and eliminate light scatter. Contrast is further enhanced with the installation of matte black knife-edge baffles in the optical tube assembly. While refractors seldom require additional collimation after initial factory adjustment, the lens cell design allows for consumer collimation. Sending your Explore ED152 Refractor w/APO Optics off to the factory is always an option, but is not required.
