Designed by Explore Scientific in conjunction with veteran Comet Hunter David H Levy, this remarkable 152mm Maksutov Newtonian offers stunningly wide fields of view and superior off axis images compared to conventional Newtonians of the same aperture and

The Explore Scientific 0.7x Reducer/corrector 3" reduces the effective focal length of a particular telescope by the factor 0.7x (for f/8) and 0.8x (for f/10) respectively.

Highly corrected 102mm air-spaced triplet apochromat (with three lenses) and carbon fibre tube and a 2.5" high-precision HEXAFOC focuser.   

This 5-inch instrument offers superb colour correction and pin-sharp views and images, due to its triplet design lens, which features one FCD-100 ED element...

The Explore Scientific ED APO 165mm f/7 Carbon FPL-53 3" is the latest development in the line of Explore Scientific's excellent Apochromatic range of refractors. This 6.5-inch instrument offers superb colour correction and pin-sharp views and images.

The Essential series are "bare bones" versions of the Explore Scientific Apos - they still have the exquisite optics of the original triplets, including Japanese Hoya FCD1 Dense Fluorcrown and Explore's Special EMD.

The Explore Scientific Hexafoc 2.5" Adapter for 3" Corrector is a ring which mates Hexafoc or Hexfocus-enabled telescopes - particularly the Explore Scientific range of Triplet Apo refracting telescopes, with the Explore Scientific 3" 0.7x Reducer/correct
