The TS121SDQ apochromatic refractor offers a large, fully corrected field of view for astrophotography
♦ 121mm aperture / 677mm focal length / f/5.6 focal ratio
♦ Triplet FPL53 lens and 2 element corrector: the corrector is integrated in the tube
♦ Image circle 49 mm 100% illuminated and corrected image field also enables photography with large sensors
♦ 4" CNC rack and pinion focuser with micro reduction is also suitable for heavy cameras
♦ The internal thread M82x1 allows a screw-in camera adaptation for Image Trains that require a large optical path, up to 125mm can be implemented without any problem.
♦ An adapter from M82x1 to M48x0.75 is included for the screw connection of cameras with a filter thread, ideal for cameras with a 55mm working distance, a thread for 2" filters is integrated into the adapter.
♦ A generous working distance also allows for the connection of 2" star diagonals for observation, suitable 2" and 1.25" adapters are included.
♦ Each APO is tested twice, 1x at the factory and 1x at Teleskop Service. The mechanics and optics are checked.
TS 121SDQ Quintuplet Apo with field correction for astrophotography
Teleskop-Service's successful Flatfield Apo series is complemented by this powerful 5-element apochromat. The apo remains portable and works well with mounts like the Skywatcher EQ6, Celestron CGEM, or iOptron CEM40.
Thanks to the built-in corrector, the field is perfectly level. You'll have a perfect star image in the field right out of the box, without the tedious search for correctors and the right distance. Although the apo has been optimized for astrophotography, it will also perform very well visually. Stars are sharp and displayed without color errors. The image remains sharp and rich in contrast up to approximately 350x.
The 4" rack and pinion photo excerpt:
The CNC focuser is optimized for photography and can support a load of up to 8kg. The extension tube adjusts via a rack and pinion. Unlike Crayford focusers, this focuser's bearing is independent. This also guarantees a sensitive fit under maximum load. In addition to the 2" and 1.25" sockets, you also have an M82x1 thread (internal thread) for screw adaptations. A camera adapter with M48x0.75 connection is included. All you need is the matching T-ring and you're good to go. Other adapters are of course available, eg for the M68x1 thread.
Features and Benefits:
♦ Excellent triple lens FPL53 (glass from Ohara, Japan)
♦ Integrated 2-element flattener with factory-optimized distance to lens for optimal field sharpness
♦ 4" CNC rack and pinion focuser
♦ The system is free from annoying reflections
♦ Lens and corrector are adjustable: optimally adjusted when delivered
A first-class apochromat for astrophotography
Our goal was to achieve unmatched image quality on the Y-axis in the field without additional flatteners or correctors. The corrector must be installed permanently and, of course, at the optimal distance from the lens. This is hardly achieved with an optional flattener. In addition, the apochromat must be mechanically sound and easily adjustable. This was achieved with Flatfield Apo.
Thanks to the generous working distance of 125mm from the 2" receptacle or 145mm from the internal M82 thread, you can fit any camera with filter wheels, off-axis guides, etc. We'd be happy to recommend the right ones for your camera. and accessories adapter rings and extensions.
This is how we deliver each TS121SDQ to the star friend:
♦ Each apo is factory tested and delivered with a verification protocol.
♦ Before shipment, each apo is fully opened and checked by our technicians.
