An opportunity to own one of the best Triplet Refractors
A superb telescope with a massive 3.5 inch rotating focuser and dedicated 68III Flattener. Pristene condition - hardly used.
FPL-53 glass air-spaced objective.
Focal length 1188mm (F/7.8 or F/5.6 with Flattener Reducer)
The powder coated white CNC machined aluminium tube which incorporates a Bahtinov Mask, finished with a powder blue handle, mounting tube rings and Losmandy saddle gives an exquisite look.
The scope weighs just 13.5Kg so can be used in the field on a suitable mount.
The telescope hits the sweet spot between Visual observing and Astro Imaging. The 153mm objective is perfect for both wide field and planetary observations.
This is the professional detail and typical Marketing Blurb for the GT153 .
