For crisp wide field observing and imaging, nothing can beat a true triple-element apochromatic refractor (APO). This is especially true in astrophotography, where APOs have produced some of the most beautiful images of the heavens ever taken from earth.
But not all APOs are created equal.
Today’s market is filled with semi-APOs (with two lenses instead of three) that don’t bring all the colours to focus in the refractor. Thanks to a two-year design process and a triple objective lens made from the highest quality ED (extra-low dispersion) glass, Meade Series 5000 ED APO Triplets are virtually free of chromatic aberration (colour fringing). This means they outperform the most expensive semi-APOs at a fraction of the cost.
It was bought from bintel for $2499 and hasn't been used much.

Expert observers will be delighted by the total absence of colour fringing and the scope’s textbook-perfect pinpoint star images. Even beginners will notice the breathtaking high contrast and resolution of a Series 5000 APO.
One astronomer commented that the Series 5000 APO “kicked butt on my semi-APO that cost twice as much.”
