Professional Series offers telescope tubes which meet the highest requirements. Only tubes that meet extraordinary standards regarding optical and mechanical quality are used. The ED telescopes for example captivate through their chroma and excellent contrast. The achromatic refractors are equipped with particularly high-quality lens-systems that are not comparable to “normal” Fraunhofers. All focusers used in this series are suitable for astrofotography. This series was knowingly build in a modular way, so the customer can custom-build his telescope out of our components.
The Planet Hunter! This 80 mm refractor offers high quality in every way, but especially the optical quality is amazing. The refractor features a 800 mm, achromatic, fully coated TMB objective and a top-of-the-line 2” astro focuser made of aluminium (suitable for astrophotography). The focusers movement can be adjusted and fixed completely. The main operational area is the planet and moon observation, where the refractor can show its full capability regarding sharpness and contrast. The finderscope is made out of high quality aluminium and has different lighting-levels so it can be used for both celestial and terrestrial observations. The optional available 2” diagonal offers an 99° dielectric protection layer and 1/10 lambda surface accuracy. 2” Crayford astro-focuser with 1,25” adapter ring. Particularly suitable for astrophotography. Can be turned 360° and fixed completely - the focuser can be adjusted to the viewer perfectly. The optical tools made by TMB are known and respected for highest optical quality all over the world. The high quality achromatic TMB optics offer sharpness combined with very high contrast. The high quality coating and the blackened inner-tube build a very good base for the optical standard of the whole telescope. Due to its light weight the 80 mm refractor is highly transportable and can be carried easily.
Very sharp optics - not a very sharp price! The Astro-Professional ED 80 APO is the ideal choice if you are looking for a travel-telescope, a guiding scope or a first class ED APO refractor. The ED doublet (2 lenses) air gap- objective offers brilliant color reproduction combined with very high contrast. The 2” aluminium Crayford focuser with 1:10 reduction works very precisely so astrophotography or a stroll to the stars always become an amazing adventure. Due to the retractable dust cap, the telescope is stowed away into its aluminium transportation box within seconds - protected from dust and impacts. The main operational areas are astrophotography, Moon, Planet and terrestrial observations. The finderscope is made out of high quality aluminium and has different lighting-levels so it can be used for both celestial and terrestrial observations. The optional available 2” diagonal offers an 99° dielectric protection layer and 1/10 lambda surface accuracy. The tube is equipped with a very precisely working 2” Crayford Focuser with 1:10 reduction. This focuser is high end and absolutely suitable for astrophotography. Due to the 1:10 reduction the camera (or the eyepiece) can be focused precisely. The focuser comes with an additional 1,25” adapter ring for smaller accessories. Since the focuser can be turned 360° it is fully adjustable to the viewer. A scale is attached on the focuser. The tube is also equipped with a first class ED optic with blackened inner-tube for highest optical quality. This optic is basic for the high optical standard we offer with this refractor. The dust cap is retractable so the telescop is even more compact and easy to handle / transport. he red dot finderscope is mounted on a metal frame and is adjustable in its luminous intensity and the size of the dot. You can easily adjust the settings to your needs and find your exact way through the sky. The finderscope can be mounted on the tube ring or on the focuser. The quick-coupler makes it possible to attach the finderscope without tools.
