♦ Opening 140mm
♦ Focal length 910mm
♦ Fast f/6.5 focal ratio
♦ Triplet air-gap lens: 2 ED elements provide an image free of chromatic aberration
♦ Solid 4" dual speed rack and pinion focuser - ideal for astrophotography
♦ Intermediate threads for screwed adaptations, e.g. Female thread M68x1
♦ Retractable spray shield
♦ CNC tube rings, carrying handle and dovetail bar are included in the scope of supply
♦ Carbon tube for easy transport and high stability
♦ Delivery in transport case
♦ Each apochromat is tested by the manufacturer and Teleskop-Service before shipment
♦ Each apo is given a serial number and comes with a photo proof certificate
TS-Optics 140mm f/6.5 Photoline Triplet Apo
This Apo is manufactured by Sharpstar for Teleskop-Service. The apochromat remains portable and ideal for mobile astrophotography. Of course, the apo is also a good telescope for the observatory. The 140mm aperture and false color free image due to the triple design allow for a wide range of applications.
The 3-element lens is fully adjustable. Two ED ultra-low dispersion elements enable an image without chromatic aberration. Even bright stars will not have a strip of color.
The apochromat with the large 4" rack and pinion focuser enables astrophotography at the highest level. With the 0.75x 3" reducer you can achieve nearly f/4.8 with full image field correction down to size format full frame. This allows you to easily expose an object in one night.
Telescope-Sservice tests each 140mm f/6.5 apo like this:
♦ The telescope is cosmetically checked and the mechanics (focuser) are optimally adjusted.
♦ The collimation is checked on the optical bench (autocollimation) and improved if necessary.
♦ A series of images is taken, which is included with each telescope. Extrafocal and intrafocal star image, focused star image, and a Ronchi image.
Connection of correctors for astrophotography
The apo offers a generous working distance, so you can work with the TSAPORED075 (0.74x reducer) and still focus.
If you want to retrofit the TSFLAT25DEL (Flattener 1.0x), you need the following components.
♦ M68a-M63i - adapter to extend the M63 thread of the corrector to M68x1.
♦ 2 x TSVM6815 30mm M68x1 extensions - for smooth focusing. The extensions are placed between the M68x1 thread of the focuser and the adapter.
