A visually stunning, robust telescope. Perfect for the traveling astronomer. The 106mm Apochromat telescope is a dream come true for both astrophotography enthusiasts and visual observers who are seeking the utmost in contrast. With it’s slightly over 4-inch aperture, this telescope offers both portability and exceptional brightness.
The high quality triplet lens delivers a remarkably sharp image thanks to the utilizations of Hoya’s FCD100 ED glass, known for it’s minimal color aberration, crafted in Japan. This combination ensures the ability to capture razor-sharp planetary observations and produce breathtaking astro photographs.
Airy Disk makes ED and APO telescopes, lenses, spherical and aspherical
mirrors with diameters ranging from 45mm to 400mm.
Our production process is highly integrated.
From lens and optical system design, nearly all steps of the telescope
making process are now in-house:
- Blank Preparation, Lens Grinding, Polishing and Centering
- Coating
- Quality Control
- Lens mounting
- Final assembly and inspection, collimation and interferometric testing
Packaging
The glass used comes from CDGM and Hoya.
Lens mounts are made by the inhouse CNC department as are most of
the telescope components.
State of the art testing equipment, a huge collection of spherical
masters, Fizeau interferometer in red(632.8nm), TwymSan green in
green spectrum(532nm), artificial star and Ronchi.
This control over the whole manufacturing process combined with our
skills and experience results in outstanding optics.
Decades of specialized ED production using Ohara FPL53. Over the
years, the company has provided optical system design, production,
and OEM production for many well-known brands in China.
