Description

Great for astrophotography and critical visual observations, the Explore Scientific ED127 Essential Series Air-Spaced Triplet Refractor utilizes genuine HOYA FCD1 ED to deliver stunning details of the night sky’s most notable treasures.

With its true apochromatic performance with diffraction-limited optics and ample aperture, this versatile model can showcase deep sky delights like the edge-on Sombrero Galaxy with its distinct bulging center or the spiraling beauty of the face-on Pinwheel Galaxy as easily as it can reveal the intricacies of the Moon’s winding Hadley Rille.

Featuring an air-spaced triplet optical design that virtually eliminates chromatic aberrations, this telescope generates brilliant high-contrast images by combining genuine HOYA extra-low dispersion (ED) glass and proprietary EMD enhanced multi-layer coatings on all optical surfaces. As an added bonus, its quick set-up allows you to spend more time at the eyepiece to make the most of your nights under the stars.

Penelope D. ★★★★★

I was nervous buying used gear, but the optics are genuinely pristine after testing under the stars. The carbon fiber shell makes it light enough for my old mount to handle easily.

Jacob ★★★★★

Picked this up used and it’s honestly a steal—the carbon fiber shell makes it so much easier to haul out to dark sites than my old metal tube. The optics are nearly pristine, and I’ve already pulled in some sharp views of Jupiter’s bands.

Grace ★★★★☆

The carbon fiber shell really does make a difference—this triplet is noticeably easier to haul out to my observing spot than my old metal tube. Optics are clear and sharp, and for used gear it arrived looking almost new. My only small gripe is the focuser feels a tiny bit stiff out of the box, but I
