Explore Scientific AR152 Air-Spaced Doublet Refractor Telescope

DESCRIPTION:

The AR152 Air-Spaced Doublet from Explore Scientific is a renowned refractor featuring a traditional air-spaced, crown-and-flint doublet design. With a 152mm (6-inch) aperture, this telescope offers unparalleled image brightness and resolution among the AR Series..

Our goal was to provide an affordable telescope with true diffraction-limited optics. It features a large aperture refractor with a wide-field (f/6.5), which allows for stunning images of deep-sky objects at low powers. And the best part? It comes at a fraction of the price of a similar aperture apochromat refractor.

At high power, the Explore Scientific AR Series telescopes are capable of revealing the moon, planets, and double stars in sharp and high contrast. These telescopes are designed to endure the rigors of public star parties and educational outreach activities. They come equipped with heavy-duty, top-quality components, including a 2" dual-speed focuser, a one-piece 2" diagonal with 99% dielectric coatings, an installed Explore Scientific Hybrid Finder Scope Base with an 8 X 50 non-illuminated straight-through finderscope and quick release bracket, and a cradle ring assembly with Vixen-style dovetail mount. You only need to add a few eyepieces and the alt-azimuth or equatorial mount of your choice, and you'll be ready to explore the Universe!

The Explore Scientific AR Series telescopes are a solid choice for astrophotographers due to their diffraction-limited optics, proper baffling, precision dual-speed focuser, and sturdy construction. If you are an astrophotographer, you can rely on the Explore Scientific AR152 to deliver excellent performance.
