Explore Scientific Telescopes

Explore Scientific telescopes cover beginners through advanced imagers. Apochromatic air-spaced triplets such as the ED80, ED102, ED127 and ED152 suit astrophotography and high-contrast visual work, while the AR127 achromatic doublet gives wide visual views at a larger aperture.

For new observers, the FirstLight range includes 80mm refractor kits, a 114mm Newtonian and 127mm Maksutov-Cassegrain, alongside the 6-inch Tabletop Dobsonian and the Sidara family from the Nano 114 to the Plus 127 refractor.
