Description

The Explore Scientific AR127 Air-Spaced Doublet is a classic air-spaced, crown-and-flint doublet achromatic refractor reborn to produce a superior-class optical figure in a short (f/6.5) focal length design. With the AR127 model, you will be impressed by the stunning images at the eyepiece, all at a small fraction of the price you'd pay for a comparably sized apochromatic refractor.

Designed to handle the rigors of public star parties and educational outreach, the Explore Scientific AR Series telescopes come with heavy-duty, high-quality components, including a 2" dual-speed focuser, a one-piece 2" diagonal with 99% dielectric coatings, Explore Scientific Hybrid Finder Scope Base installed with an 8 X 50 non-illuminated straight-through finderscope and quick release bracket and a cradle ring assembly with Vixen-style dovetail mount. Add a few eyepieces and the alt-azimuth or equatorial mount of your choice, and you'll be ready to discover the Universe!

Interferometric data on your newly purchased and registered Explore achromatic refractor is available upon request after 120 days of ownership. Contact Customer Service for more information.
