The FS-128
and FS-128F are two versatile highly transportable 5" apochromatic
refractors. With their multi-coated diffraction-limited optics,
they produce the brightest possible images with outstanding contrast
and color fidelity. Each has knife-edged baffles and the focuser
painted inside with the same paint used on expensive 35mm cameras
to eliminate internal light reflection. Their focal length of
f/8.1 and f/5.9, with dedicated focal reducer, enable these instruments
to be used as first rate wide field astrographs or lunar and planetary
telescopes.
The FS-128
uses a 2.7" focuser and the FS-128F uses a 4" focuser.
This is definite advantage for the serious astrophotographer.
A 35mm, meduim format 6x7 vacuum holder, or 6x7 camera can be
used to produce incredible astrophotos. The FS-128F opens new
territory in astro-photography for 5" refractors. The dedicated
reducer at f/5.9 produces a 63mm circle, while the dedicated flattener
at f/9 produces an amazing 89mm circle on 6x7 film!
