Home Telescopes Altair Astro Telescopes Altair 110ED-R Starwave Refractor Telescope
A really useful and portable ED refractor at 110mm aperture and a user friendly f7 focal ratio, this optic offers a significant advantage over 100mm class refractors yet is very portable - not to mention being an affordable instrument packed with advanced features. This model boasts a high quality 2.5 inch positive lock rack and pinion focuser providing precise focusing for visual or imaging applications. In addition the new focuser is fitted with a 2" Positive Lock adapter, an improvement which allows quick and secure accessory changes without leaving scuff marks on the accessory 2" barrel. More performanceThe Starwave 110 ED-R delivers a siginificant 16% more light grasp than the 102mm ED for a small increase in weight and size. Deep sky and planetary images show increased brightness and resolution, letting you discern slightly more subtle details at the eyepiece. Being an ED refractor, the Starwave 110ED has far better colour correction than is possible with an achromatic refractor of equivalent focal length, making the overall tube length more portable. Starwave ED110 Features: 110mm F7 Optics from Ohara Japan (770mm focal length, FPL-51 ED element) Highest practical magnification 220x, light grasp 247x human eye 89% more light grasp than an 80mm refractor and 16% more than a 102mm refractor. 65cm length, approx. weight 6.8kg Dual speed 1:10 ratio 2.5" Rack and Pinion focuser 2" to 1.25" eyepiece adapter Tube rings with standard M6 30mm hole pattern (holes correspond top and bottom, enabling other telescopes to be mounted piggyback). Standard Vixen-format dovetail bar FREE Protective hard case with foam padding The additional aperture of the 110mm ED design makes this a suitable option for those who want slightly more light gathering and resolution over a 4" refractor, but who still want a relatively portable telescope which won't over-tax their mount. Every telescope is star-tested and collimation and spacing is adjusted for best performance. This really does show at the eyepiece.We have published an article explaining the merits of this design, read about ED Doublet refractors.
