More information

  • Description
  • Specifications
  • In the Box

  • The Pleiades 68 apochromatic refractor features a cutting-edge 7-element optical design that ensures pinpoint stars. With its fast f/3.8 focal ratio and WO Internal Focus Design (WIFD), this instrument is perfect for the expert astrophotographer seeking to explore the depths of the universe.

    Disclaimer

    This telescope model does not feature an internal M48 filter thread because it is located close to the second lens group near the camera adapter. This design decision prevents any interference with the lenses inside the telescope tube, making it difficult to directly attach a 48mm filter. For optimal results, we recommend using a filter wheel or filter drawer attached to either M48 or M54 thread. This ensures seamless filter usage without compromising the telescope's optical performance.
