Product Details

The new ED 115S lens focuses the full visible spectrum of visible light to a critical point much more accurately than past ED products. The ED115S lenses are almost free of chromatic aberration in all colors and are critically sharp edge to edge. The astrophotographer will be especially pleased with the high-contrast images through this telescope. The ED115S comes complete with 7 x 50 mm finder, finder bracket, 2" eyepiece adapter, and dual T-thread flip-mirror with dual 1-1/4" eyepiece adapters, 125 mm tube rings, carry handle, dovetail tube plate and metal carry case.

Features:

  • A newly designed high-definition ED lens that gives excellent optical performance with a short optical tube for easy handling.

  • Brighter images from the shorter f/7.7 focal ratio and capture crisp, pinpoint star images for your eye's enjoyment.

  • The ED115S lenses are made with environment-friendly technologies, free of hazardous lead that helps to support a cleaner global environment.

  • The optical tube comes equipped with a metal carry handle for easy one-hand carrying.

    The GPD2 equatorial mount is the stronger and heftier of the GP mounts. With its solid steel R.A. and declination axes and brass worm gears, this mount will hold up to years of heavy use. In order to assure accurate tracking for astrophotography, the worm gears are especially machined to a very high precision that minimizes periodic error.

    The GPD2 holds almost 50% more weight than the GP2 and comes standard with tripod and counterweight. It is easy to use and functions well for both the visual observer and astrophotography. Motion is controlled by included control knobs for accurate slewing. The polar altitude adjustment varies from 0-degrees to 62-degrees in altitude.

    GPD2 Mount Features:

  • R.A Axis: 144-tooth worm gears

  • Declination Axis: 144-tooth worm gears

  • R.A. graduations: RA 10 min. increment

  • Dec graduations: 2-deg. increments

  • Polar Axis Scope: 6 x 20 wide field

  • Mount includes pre-installed variable intensity illuminator

  • Polar Axis Altitude adjustment 0- to 62-degrees

  • Counter weight 1 x 3.7kg. and 1 x 1.9kg.

  • Maximum loading weight 10kg. (22lbs.)
