Explore Scientific 152mm f/8 Air-Spaced Triplet Apochromat Refractor – Carbon-Fiber OTA with 3.3" Focuser & 2" Diagonal (TED15208CF-HEX33)

The Explore Scientific 152mm f/8 Air-Spaced Triplet Apochromat is a flagship refractor built for advanced astrophotographers and demanding visual astronomers. Featuring a premium triplet lens design with ED glass, this telescope delivers exceptional color correction, sharp contrast, and high-resolution performance on planets, nebulae, and deep-sky objects.

The lightweight carbon-fiber optical tube provides superior thermal stability and reduced weight while maintaining structural rigidity. Its oversized 3.3" hexagonal focuser ensures smooth, precise focusing and rock-solid support for heavy imaging equipment. The included 2" dielectric diagonal, tube rings, and dovetail plate make the OTA ready for integration into high-capacity mounts for large-format imaging setups.

Built for serious astrophotographers, this 6-inch triplet APO offers the aperture and optical precision needed for professional-grade results.
