This telescope boasts exceptional optics, utilizing Hoya FCD100 glass which is comparable to Ohara FPL-53. With cutting-edge technology, we have successfully mass-produced top-quality optical glass, and the FCD100 is the pinnacle of this glass family. By combining it with high refractive index glass, we achieve unparalleled correction of chromatic aberration. Considered the finest glass from Hoya, the FCD100 is a true diffraction-limited design and the ideal grab-and-go instrument for impromptu stargazing sessions. Its air-spaced triplet design eliminates chromatic aberrations, producing stunning high-contrast images thanks to the use of genuine HOYA FCD100 extra-low dispersion (ED) glass and proprietary EMD enhanced multi-layer coatings on all optical surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eED80 Classic White f\/6 Air Spaced Triplet with Hoya FCD100 optics and Integrated Dew Shield; 480mm focal length; 2.5\" HEX Focuser with 2 extension tubes; Integrated Vixen-Style Dovetail, Explore Scientific \u003ca title=\"Hybrid 2N1 Finder Base\" href=\"https:\/\/explorescientificusa.com\/products\/explore-scientific-hybrid-finder-scope-base\"\u003e2N1 Hybrid Finder Scope Base\u003c\/a\u003e installed on scope; 99% Reflective 2\" Diagonal.
