Focuser
Upgraded in the Series 6000 Triplets APOs is the proprietary 2.5” dual-speed rack-and-pinion focuser. The focuser comes with a 10:1 fine focus knob for precise focusing. It includes millimetre markings on the drawtube to assist with focusing accuracy and is also rotatable which allows for easy framing of the photographed object. New for this focuser is the 2” self-centre locking ring that allows diagonals or cameras to be well centred to the optical train every time the locking ring is engaged.
Hard case and more
Standard equipment also includes a fully extendable dew shield, mounting rings, a Vixen-style dovetail, and an aluminium hard carry case to protect your investment when not in use.
Optional focal reducer
In addition to the deluxe focuser the Series 6000 Apochromatic Refracting Telescopes now have an optional 0.8x Focal Reducer/Field Flattener for photographic purposes. For wide field images the Series 6000 Field Flattener/Focal Reducer 3” will reduce the f/7 115mm refractor to f/5.5. The new reducer will optically flatten the images yielding pin-point stars to the edge of your photographic frame.
Fine performance
The Series 6000 Apochromatic Refractors will fill the needs of the most discerning astronomer. For crisp wide-field observing and imaging, nothing can beat a true three-element Apochromatic Refractor (APO). Meade Series 6000 ED APO Triplets are among the finest available optically at any price.
