A Series 5000 APO is the ideal companion for your larger Schmidt-Cassegrain, Ritchey-Chr?tien, or Newtonian scope. When piggybacked, a Series 5000 APO is the ideal wide-field photography scope when guided by the primary instrument and doubles as a guide scope for the primary telescope. It also makes an ideal lightweight and portable scope for flawless visual observing.
For crisp wide field observing and imaging, nothing beats 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 colors to focus. 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 (color fringing). This means they outperform the most expensive semi-APOs at a fraction of the cost. Expert observers will be delighted by the total absence of color fringing and the scope?s textbook-perfect pinpoint star images. Even beginners will notice the breathtaking high contrast and resolution of a Meade Series 5000 APO. The scope is available as a stand-alone OTA, or as a package with our new Series 5000 2″ enhanced diagonal and an aluminum carrying case.
