These lenses can easily handle a magnification equal to three times their aperture in mm (as example, the 127mm f7, above 350x), when atmospheric condition allow it. 160mm f6.5 Aspheric - oilspaced triplet 3.5'' Starlight FT focuser option, 114mm travel, 180mm back-focus, rings, hardcase.

Field Corrector for 160mm f6.5 - 435 Euro, including 24% VAT (350 Euro netto). *all our OTAs can be used for imaging with 3rd party reducers/corrector as long as they are designed for aplanatic objectives - free of coma - as our objective lenses are* From Autumn 2012, we will have very affordable Cassegrain and Ritchey Chretien OTAs, quality proven with Interferogram, CF truss or CF tube construction. As we are making OTAs, one by one, in case the mechanics are not produced, we can take special orders in terms of back-focus, color, accessories. Everything we do is made in Europe and we are an OEM!! For USD prices, please multiply the netto price with the exchange rate. Thank You in advance for Your interest!
