Hi all,
Just acquired my new telescope. The BORG 55 fluorite apo f4.5
It has 2elements in two groups made by cannon, has a 60mm tube diameter and a focal length of 250mm.
Over all fit and finish is excellent as you would expect from Japan , comes with a helical focuser (18mm range) and draw tube with 38mm of travel and 60/20mm interchangeable tubes so you can easily change from visual to photographic if the need arises.
Got a package deal from Ted at Hutech and added the Borg tube ring, Arca Swiss mount, a visual 31.5 adapter and a m42 ring for my Nikon adapter.
Highly recommended Hutech, very prompt and helpful through emails, and dispatched the next day
Originally bought this for a finder scope, but has so many other applications it can be used for this could easily become my most used telescope/lens.
Any input or comments about this scope is most welcome !
Cheers
