TEC APO 200 FL f/11 Fluorite Apochromat
The TEC APO 200 FL f/11 has number of features that in a given combination are rarely found in one scope:
- An air-spaced apochromatic-doublet objective with a Fluorite (CaF2) inner element
- The objective is housed in an aluminum cell, providing for excellent thermoregulation properties while remaining lightweight and strong.
- The optical assembly sits in a lightweight aluminum tube that utilizes anti-reflective coating and sharp-edged baffles throughout the interior and forget about collimation – after the scope leaves TEC, no adjustment is required.
- Each APO200FL F/11 comes equipped with a Starlight Instruments FTF#3545 Feather Touch Focuser that was designed in collaboration with TEC. This is Starlight Instruments’ largest rotating focuser with coarse and fine focusing 9:1 Planetary Reduction Assembly.
- The 2” locking metal collet is insensitive to temperature fluctuations and holds loads with high precision and concentricity.
- Able to accommodate a wide variety of eyepieces.
The APO200FL F/11 can be optionally mounted with a TEC Dovetail 3" (305mm) (#1353140 , € 129,-) and a 12" Carry Handle for all TEC APOs (#1353201 , € 89,-) Larger Losmandy plates can be used to create a larger compensation area for the telescope. Recommended to be combined with a heavy duty mount and a stationary observing station. TEC recommends the 10Micron AZ3000 HPS, GM3000 HPS und die Astro-Physics 1600GTO Mount.
