DESCRIPTION:

The Explore Scientific AR Air-Spaced Doublet Series telescopes are traditional achromatic f/6.5 refractors with a high-quality optical figure. Whether you decide on the AR102 (4"), AR127 (5") or AR152 (6") model, you will be amazed by the beautiful images seen through the eyepiece, all at a fraction of the cost of a similar sized apochromatic refractor, and the instrument's weight of only 11.5 lbs will be a welcome feature.

The Explore Scientific AR Series refractor telescope is designed for public star parties and educational outreach, featuring durable components such as a 2-inch Two-Speed Crayford Focuser with Compression and a 99% Reflective Dielectric-Coated 2-inch Diagonal Mirror. It also includes an 8X50 non-illuminated straight-through finderscope with quick release bracket, and a cradle ring assembly with 45mm wide dovetail plate (Vixen style). All that's needed are a few eyepieces and your preferred mount for a complete Universe-exploring experience.
