Explore Scientific ED 127 CF – FCD01 compared to FCD-100
A product test: two models in direct comparison. Von J.S. Schlimmer
1. Introduction
Figure 1: Explore Scientific ED 127 CF models under test
Since April 2016 I own the apochromatic one Refractor ED 127 CF, Model FCD01 by Explore Scientific and I use it for moon and planetary observation as well as for the photography of extended nebulas, open star clusters and galaxy clusters. In addition to the very good look, the possibility for photographic use with the help of a focal reducer, also the low weight of the telescope has influenced my purchase decision. Therefore, I could continue to use my old mount and invest the existing budget in optical accessories. The telescope is still transportable and thus suitable for mobile use outside the light-polluted cities.
Explore Scientific is listed as a Bresser brand. The technical support I approached initially for some questions was very friendly, accommodating and very helpful.
2. Description
The ED 127 CF has a three-lens lens. Between the lenses there is an air gap. The tube is made of carbon fiber and processed to high quality. The ED 127 CF has a three-lens objective. There is an air gap between the lenses. The tube is made of carbon fiber and processed to high quality. Thanks to its low weight of only 7 kg, it can still be carried by a GP-DX or comparable mount.
Since November 2016, the improved FCD-100 model is on the market, which is advertised with high color purity and a perfect optical design. What’s the difference between these two models? To test this, Bresser has kindly provided me with an ED 127 FCD-100.
At first glance, both models resemble each other like twins, as my older model also has the 2.5-inch Hexafoc extract. In addition to the stable construction, it can also be rotated as a whole. In astrophotography this offers the advantage of preserving the focal position, even if the camera needs to be realigned for another object. The 1:10 reduction allows an exact focus. A scale applied on the pullout facilitates the presetting (Figure 2). In the case of visual observation the zenith mirror can of course be adjusted independently of the focuser.
Figure 2: Camera, 0.7x Focal Reducer and Hexafoc Extract
Both models have an aperture of 127 mm and a focal length of 952 mm. In lens labeling, the new model differs only in the additionally printed model designation. Only by closer inspection you can see that the tube of the new model FCD-100 is 15mm shorter. This is a great advantage, because my intrafocal area is very short on my own model. Therefore, in my model, orthoscopic eyepieces (e.g. measuring eyepieces) cannot be used if the extension is provided with an extension sleeve. With my wide-angle eyepieces the extension sleeve always comes to commitment.
3. Objective lenses
For observation I prefer to use wide-angle eyepieces. For almost 2 years my Nagler range has also been supplemented by eyepieces in the 82° series by Explore Scientific. For the telescope comparison the Explore Scientific 2-inch eyepiece with 24 mm focal length, as well as two Explore Scientific 1 ¼ inch eyepieces, with 8.8 and 4.7 mm focal length were used.
4. Explore Scientific 0.7 focal reducer and corrector
of 64 mm (2.5 inches). To connect to Canon cameras, a special T2 adapter must be used. The adapter ring is only 1 mm thick and therefore made of steel. He has a free opening of 36.7 mm.
5. Visual tests
Figure 3: Explore Scientific 82 ° Series Eyepieces
In particular, moon and planets are suitable as test objects for the visual comparison, while in the deep sky range the Orion comes into question with its richness of detail. Open star clusters, on the other hand, offer a very good opportunity to assess the edge imaging at low magnifications.
For the tests, the objects should be as high as possible in the sky, where the influence of astronomical seeing is significantly lower. Because the planets only reached a height of 23° at the meridian passage at the time of the tests, they were out of the question for the tests. For better temperature adaptation, the telescopes were brought to the open air 1-2 hours before the tests.
At dusk on the 23rd of February
In 2018, Aldebaran was covered by the moon. The picture above shows the moon a few seconds before covering on the bright Sky. The small image inside shows the entire image field during the covering. The picture below shows the moon for one hour at the end of the Aldebaran covering. ES 127 FCD-100 and Focal Reducer, Canon 1100D
a) The moon
With the 2-inch 24 mm eyepieces, the moon fits comfortably in the field of vision. While the FCD01 showed a light, yellow color fringe around the bright edge of the crescent, the image of the successor model FCD-100 was without any color aberrations. The higher the magnification the more details revealed on the lunar surface. The sight became really fascinating at 200x magnification with the 4.7 mm eyepiece.
In the Apennine Mountains were already single, larger rock formations to recognize. In the south, on the edge of the Mare Nubium, the Long Wall was just visible, an approximately 100 km long embankment. The crater Thebit could be easily observed on one side of the long wall and Birt and the side crater Birt A on the other side. On closer inspection you could see further small craters such as e.g. Thebit D at the end of the long wall. Also Rima Birt, a groove that runs almost parallel to the Long Wall, but only as half long, was easy to see.
Below are some pictures of the Aldebaran covering from 23rd February 2018. The
beginning was still in the clear sky, so that Aldebaran was difficult to locate.
At the exit one hour later the sky was already dark.
b) Open star cluster: Pleiades and NGC 1647
For the observation of the Pleiades also the 2-inch 24 mm eyepieces was used. With this eyepiece, the Pleiades are a breathtaking sight, because they fit completely into the field of view. In both telescopes, the stars were as fine as needle points and point-shaped to the edge. Visually, no color errors were noticeable. It was such a perfect sight.
NGC 1647 is a very loose open star cluster nearby 97 Tau. Because it is very extensive, it is best seen at low magnification. Approximately 20 stars with a brightness of 8 mag can be captured well with the 2-inch 24-mm eyepiece. Again, the sight is fantastic, as the entire field of view is sharply displayed.
c) Stars and binary stars
AFigure 5: Intrafocal and extrafocal diffraction disks
What about the comparison at high magnifications? Inadequate color correction of refractors is shown by blue color fringes around bright stars. To test this, the choice fell on Bellatrix, the "warrior" in Orion. This star is 1.6 mag bright, bluish giant star of the spectral class B2. At moderate magnification with the 8.8 mm eyepiece (108x), neither the CD01 nor the successor FCD-100 showed any fringing. At high magnification with the 4.7 mm eyepiece (203x), diffraction rings around Bellatrix were clearly visible, but no fringing. However, at this magnification already the atmospheric dispersion was noticeable, as Bellatrix only reaches a height of 46 ° in the meridional passage. The atmospheric dispersion is shown by blue color in the upper area and red color in the lower area of the star. However, it is an atmospheric effect and not due to the telescope optics.
In the constellation Orion there are also numerous binary stars, which can be used to test the resolution. For example, 32 Ori (STF 728) could not be resolved at a distance of about 1.2 arcseconds. For 52 Ori (STF 795), which has a spacing of only 1.0 arcseconds, both components could be detected but not completely separated. The reason for this is in different contrast: the components of 32 Ori have a brightness difference of 1.3 magnitudes, while the components of 52 Ori are equally bright. The observation of Alnitak (STF 774), the eastern belt star of Orion was also interesting. With a distance of at least 4.7 arc seconds, this double star should be easy to separate, despite its brightness difference of 1.8 magnitudes. At 203x magnification Alnitak was also clearly to separate, however the B-component could only be seen at second glance in the diffraction rings. With the 8.8 mm eyepiece Alnitak was inseparable.
Of course, with this type of observation, astronomical seeing plays a crucial
role. Unfortunately, lunar observation was only possible with good astronomical
seeing. At all other tests the astronomical seeing was not very good. In
conclusion, the difference between the two models FCD01 and FCD-100 is hardly
noticeable in visual observations.
6. Photographic tests
a) Diffraction slices in the primary focus
To get a better overview of the color difference between the two models, the defocused diffraction discs were first used recorded in the primary focus at 952 mm focal length (Figure 5). For this a QHY 5L II-C color CMOS camera was used. The images were taken at a distance of -2.2, -1.1, 0, +1.1 and + 2.2 mm from the focus. The light source was Bellatrix.
Overall, my model FCD01 showed slightly more color differences between the intra- and extra-focal diffraction slices. In the intrafocal area it appears slightly greenish, while in the extrafocal area it shines reddish. The successor model FCD-100 shows no color differences between the intra- and extra-focal diffraction disks.

Figure 7: Bellatrix and Betelgeuse, 5x30 seconds, 800 ASA
Figure 8: Complete picture of Betelgeuse, the inlays show the Star illustrations in the corners on the lower left and upper right
The photos in this review were taken with a modified Canon EOS 1100D. It can also be used for the absorption of hydrogen regions due to the lack of red filter. For the recordings, the camera was connected directly to a laptop via a USB cable and operated exclusively via the Canon "long-distance shot" menu. The focus was set on the live image in 10x zoom mode. Exposure time and sensitivity were also controlled via the laptop. The pictures could be viewed directly after the picture was taken on the screen. The pictures were taken with an exposure time of 30 seconds at 800 ASA. To reduce noise, flat and dark images were also created.
With my FCD01 model, the sharpness can be easily adjusted by the color of the diffraction disk. As soon as the color becomes minimal, or changes from a slight green cast to reddish, the perfect focus is found. This method always worked well and led to quick results. In which Successor model FCD-100, this method could not be applied due to the color purity. Therefore it took some practice to find the right focus. A self-made focusing aid has proven to be helpful. The focusing aid consisted of a ring that was placed on the dew cap. Attached to the ring was a thin ridge that ran through the center, creating a one-dimensional diffraction pattern in the image. Based on the diffraction image was the adjustment of sharpness.
The focusing aid was removed again for photography and bright stars in Orion were once again chosen as test objects. Figure 7 shows Bellatrix (spectral type B2) and Betelgeuse (spectral type M2) taken with the FCD01 and the FCD-100. Exposing time was 5 × 30 seconds and corresponding flat pictures were taken. The different colors are shown very nice in both models. Due to the red sensitivity of the camera, a correspondingly large halo appears around Betelgeuse.
Für For deep sky shots of extended objects not only the color but also the marginal image is of interest. Figure 8 therefore shows the complete picture of Betelgeuse taken with the FCD-100. The inlays show the star pictures in two opposite corners. The 0.7x Focal Reducer levels the image over the entire APS-C format of the camera. Very red stars in the border area are no longer 100% displayed due to dispersion phenomena. The strength of this effect depends on the spectral type of the star and of course on the red sensitivity of the camera and can be observed only at full image resolution (here 4273 pixels x 2848 pixels).
On the basis of the flat images, the vignetting of the two telescopes could also be determined very easily. The vignetting is shown by the edge darkening of the image field. In both models, the brightness drops to around 77% of the center brightness in the outermost corners. This corresponds to about half an aperture.
Figure 6 shows another shot of the Orion Nebula taken with the FCD-100. At the time of shooting, the sky was already lit by the half moon. The colors of the stars are rendered beautifully. There was no color correction during the image process, only the tonal values have been changed. In the predecessor model FCD01, the stars appear on deep sky shots usually with a slight green tint, which is easy to correct in subsequent image editing.
7. Conclusion
In all tests, the FCD-100 has shown no color errors, while the previous model FCD01 still has low color errors. With the improved look of the FCD-100, Explore Scientific / Bresser has reached the limits of color purity in imaging. Bei der Fotografie ist es beim FCD-100 schwieriger den exakten Fokus zu finden wie beim Vorgängermodell FCD01. Eine Fokussierhilfe und etwas Übung verhelfen aber auch hier zum gewünschten Ergebnis.
In photography, the FCD-100 is harder to find the exact focus like the previous model FCD01. A focus aid and a little bit of practice help to achieve the desired result.
The border image on both models is in conjunction with the Explore Scientific 0.7 x Focal Reducer APS-C format punctiform.
The image field illumination is very uniform and shows only slight vignetting.
The 2.5-inch Hexafoc extract is built mechanically very stable and can be rotated as a whole. This allows a camera to be arbitrarily aligned with the focus position almost preserved.
Due to the 15 mm shorter tube on the FCD-100 compared to the FCD01, the intrafocal area of the hexafoc is significantly larger. This also means that orthoscopic Eyepieces (for example, measuring eyepieces) can be used without removing the extension sleeve.
Overall, the Explore Scientific 127 FCD-100 is a fantastic 5-inch telescope that
impresses visually and photographically. In addition, it is transportable with a
weight of just under 7 kg and is also carried by a GP-DX or comparable mount.
Product information "EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC 3" 0.7x Reducer/corrector"
The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC 3" 0.7x Reducer/corrector, reduces a compatible telescope's focal length by a factor of 0.7x (for around f/8) and 0.8x (for around f/10) respectively. The reducer/corrector not only reduces the focal length but also flattens the field. Although originally developed for the Explore Scientific ED-APOs 127mm and 152mm, the reducer can be used with many systems - for example with the Explore Scientific ED-APOs 102mm and 165mm (please note, this will not work on the Explore Scientific 80mm ED Apo refractors though). With certain telescope focal lengths, a slight restriction of the correction at the edge of the image field can be expected when using full-frame sensors. This unit comes with 3" barrel adaptor for direct focuser thread M54x0.75 (the standard focuser thread of the Explore Scientific Essential series of ED Apos) and T2 camera adaptor. This reducer/corrector features a free aperture of 65mm, so that it can be used even with cameras that have a large sensor - if the telescope allows for this.
Note: As previously mentioned, this Reducer/corrector comes with a screw on ring, which fits the standard focuser thread of the Explore Scientific Essential series of ED Apos. For telescopes which are equipped with the 2.5" HEX Focuser, the optional screw-on adapter part no: 0510366 is needed. Other telescopes, not in the Explore Scientific range, with standard 2" push-fit focusers will need the Explore Scientific 2" Adaptor for 3" Corrector - part no: 0510364 to get this reducer correctly fitted.

This excellent telescope is the currently largest representative of a new line of apochromatic refractors by EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC. The completely new designed optics contains the special glas FPL-53, and delivers stunning sharpness and contrast without any trace of color abberation. For a apochromatic refractor of this size the focal ratio is relatively fast - the f/7 optics is thus also very suitable for astrophotography. For this reason we added one of the world’s top focusers - the high precision and the famed rigidity of the 3" Feathertouch focuser make focusing an easy task - and unwanted movements of the sensor during exposure do not happen. The result of this combination of outstanding optics, top level mechanics and the relatively low weight is a extremely versatile telescope that wil not only give images of the moon and planets that are perfect. It will also exceed the expectations of even the most demanding amateur astronomers in the field of astrophotography.These very popular EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC Triplet ED APO Refractors we do offer in 3 different product lines:Essential Line: HOYA FCD-1 Glass lens, AL-Tube, 2.0" Rack&Pinion Focusser with 1:10, 2.0" Star Diagonal 99% Reflectivity (see Part No. 0112084(AL), 0112106(AL), 0112132(AL)), 0112155(CF + 3"FT)) Professional Line: HOYA FCD-100 Glas lens, AL/CF-Tube, 2.5" HEXAFOC Focusser with 1:10, 2.0" Star Diagonal 99% Reflectivity (see Part No. 0112086(AL), 0112108(AL), 0112109(CF), 0112134(AL), 0112135(CF))High-End Line: OHARA FPL-53 Glass lens, Carbon(CF) Tube, 3.0" Feather-Touch Focusser with 1:10, 2.0" Star Diagonal 99% Reflectivity (see Part No. 0112165(CF))FEATURESexcellent color correctionRetractable dewshieldLightweight carbon fiber constructionSCOPE OF DELIVERY165mm tube CF (165/1155mm (6.5" f/7.0) FTF3235B-A Feather Touch® True 3.0" Dia Dual Speed Focuser2” Diagonal mirror with 99% coating06-20160 90° illuminated finderscope with true oriented viewTube rings with handle3“ Losmandy-type dovetailDeLuxe Flight case with wheels

With teleextenders it is possible to extend the effective focal length of a telescope system, resulting in higher magnification for the observation of the moon, the planets or small Deep-Sky objects with the same eyepieces. So you can use the advantages of eyepieces with longer focal length - such as the bigger eye distance and the more relaxed observing comfort - at high magnifications also.These teleextenders incorporate a telecentric optical design that deliveres a excellent image sharpness over the whole field of view and are premium choices for visual observations and astrophotography. The combination of excellent fully multicoating with superior optical design makes the Focal Extenders superior to classic Barlow lenses.FEATURESSuitable for visual observations and astrophotographyTriples the effective total focal length of the telescopeFour lens telecentric designFully multicoatedFilter thread for color or nebula filtersSCOPE OF DELIVERY Fokal Extender 3 x Adapter 2" (50,8mm) auf 1,25" (31,7mm)
After three years of testing and refining we are extremely proud to present the new Explore Scientific High Resolution (HR) Coma Corrector. This corrector is a class of it´s own - it is fully functional for visual use and expands the focal length by only 6%! The Explore Scientific Coma Correktor is delivered as a complete set together with a rotating helical focuser with laser-etched scale, so you get a full package: corrector, adaptor to T2 (M42x0.75mm), adaptor to M48 (M48x0.75) and the helical focuser for visual fun.
This coma corrector really is "high resolution" - it deliveres a visual polystrehl performance of 0,98 at f/4 and 0,96 at f/3! So it can stay in the telescope - and you will not only enjoy a tack-sharp Jupiter, but aslo sharp and defined moons in the future!
What this means in terms of performance is shown in the three pictures with the graphs - the sharpness increase in those comparisons with and without corrector are stunning (examples are 400mm f/4, f/3,5 and f/3).
Please notice: These graphs are for FLAT FIELD! You will get this performance without refocussing!
Diameter of the field is 30mm - it doesn´t make sense to increase this with 2" and fast optical systems. Length of the 2" corrector barrel is approx. 85mm and it can be used with almost all 2" focusers on the market. To use the HR Coma Corrector visually, you need to have at least 32mm spare inward travel at your focuser, while the focus is on the same plane as the focusers end. Photographically there is no problem - the HR Coma Corrector shifts the focus outward by about 35mm, so that you will have no problem in achieving focus, when you are able to focus your camera without the HR Coma Corrector.

With teleextenders it is possible to extend the effective focal length
of a telescope system, resulting in higher magnification for the
observation of the moon, the planets or small Deep-Sky objects with the
same eyepieces. So you can use the advantages of eyepieces with longer
focal length - such as the bigger eye distance and the more relaxed
observing comfort - at high magnifications also.These teleextenders
incorporate a telecentric optical design that deliveres a excellent
image sharpness over the whole field of view and are premium choices for
visual observations and astrophotography. The combination of excellent fully multicoating with superior optical

The image plane of many telescopes is not plane, but curved. This results in a picture that has its optimal focus only in the center of the field of view - the edge of the field is out of focus and thus unsharp. The human eye is able to accomodate most of this but a camera will show stars that get increasingly unsharp towards the edge of the field. The Explore Scientific Multi Purpose Curvature Corrector eliminates field curvature in a variety of telescopes - Explore Scientific Apos and many other refractors and cassegrain telescopes. This increases the edge sharpness in the image drastically. Improves edge sharpness not only with Explore Scientific Apos, but also with many other refractor and cassegrain telescopes. This image field leveller fits all Nikon DSLR cameras, but can also be used for other camera types due to the universal T2 thread connection. This requires an optional camera-specific T2 ring.

Converts the FL55SS into a high-performance astrograph The kit consists of a high-performance flattener lens, a reducer and the EX TUBE 66 connection ring, which was developed for the FL55SS Fluorite Apochromatic Refractor and improves photographic performance by dramatically flattening the surface.
Ultra-sharp image over the entire field of view of the DSLR full-frame sensor
The Flattener HD for the FL55SS reduces the change in the focal length of the FL55SS to a minimum and improves the evenness of the surface for prime-focus photography. The 44 mm image circle covers the entire field of view of a full-frame DSLR camera. When used in combination with the HD5.5 Reducer, the focal length is reduced by 0.79x (from f5.5 to f4.3) and the image circle retains a diameter of 44 mm, which significantly improves the sharpness across the entire field of view of DSLR cameras with a full-frame sensor.
96% light volume to the edge of the field of view
The Flattener HD was specially developed for the FL55SS refractor to reduce loss of light to a minimum across the entire 44 mm image circle of full-frame DSLR cameras.
Exceptionally high contrast
The same anti-reflective AS coatings used on our high-end VSD 100 f/3.8 astrograph are used to provide an outstanding light transmission of 99.9% per lens surface. Thanks to the matte black surface of the Reducer HD kit, loss of light, ghosting and scattered light and largely prevented.

The neutral density filter transmits light uniformly across the entire
visual spectrum. It serves as an excellent filter to reduce glare and
irradiation when observing the Moon with any telescope 4"(10.2cm) and
larger. The ND96 filter may also be employed in the splitting of close
double stars where one of the binary pair significantly exceeds the
other in brightness.

One of the most important obstacles for the exploration of the night sky is the brightening of the night sky by artificial lights, such as streetlights. The night sky is not really dark in the vicinity of towns or cities, which reduces the visibility of objects beyond the solar system enormously. Depending on the type of the celestial object, it is possible to dramatically increase the contrast by blocking annoying artificial light. The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC UHC filter "zeros in" on the wavelengths of so-called emission nebulae. Those objects glow in special colours - their emission lines. Those emission lines are linked to chemical elements - in this case hydrogen at 486nm and 656nm, plus oxygen at 496nm and 501nm. The EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC UHC nebula filter blocks all other colour wavelengths (and thereby nearly all of artificial light) and only the emission line of the hydrogen and oxygen can pass the filter. The result is astonishing: suddenly nebulae are visible at locations that were completely invisible from, without filters. In suburban skies, for example the Owl-nebula M97, the Veil-nebula NGC 6992 or even the bright Dumbell-nebula M27 are not clearly visible. Using this filter allows you to see nebulae and their structures in much finer detail. A must for every visual observer.
The Explore Scientific nebula filters come with a individual test certificate - your guarantee to receive a premium filter.
This adapter replaces the M42x0.75 Adapter for CCD Camera that comes standard with the EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC 3-inch Field Flattener/0.7x Focal Reducer.

You will be able to buy this NEW BRESSER PRODUCT from the end of May 2024!The new BRESSER Nebula 6 EQ/AZ Wifi-Network Mount is a precise and quiet telescope mount – ideal for astrophotography. The controller box offers numerous central connection options for various accessories such as cameras, filter wheels, and motor focusers via USB (2.0/3.0), simplifying the setup of a professional astro-photography machine.
BRESSER relies on innovation paired with quality Made in Italy for this top-class product. The long-standing experience of the manufacturer in mount construction guarantees a high-end device with first-class functionality and highest reliability. Additionally, the in-house development team for hardware and software in Italy ensures quick response times in technical support and the adaptation of new device drivers. True to the motto "Professionals at work!"
The mount is controlled via pre-installed web app software, accessible via Wifi and an Ethernet cable connection. The philosophy behind the Nebula GoTo system is to provide the user with a control system independent of a normal PC, which can be remotely controlled in all its functions via a smart device such as a mobile phone or tablet. However, this does not exclude the traditional use of computers of all types and brands, which can be connected to the system either wired or wirelessly.
The BRESSER Nebula GoTo System Controller is a Raspberry Pi 4 microcomputer, which allows complete control of the setup (mount, camera, etc.) without the need for any other external device. The BRESSER Nebula GoTo system is already equipped with all Linux-based applications necessary for performing all astrophotographic functions.The existing INDI environment allows the control of almost all devices (cameras, filter wheels, rotators, including observatory domes), necessary for conducting local or remote astrophotography sessions.
The system also offers high flexibility for users who prefer to use traditional computer client applications such as Cart du Ciel (Star Chart), TheSkyX, SkySafari, Stellarium, and other planetarium programs as well as SGP, Nina, CCD Ciel, and other astrophotography tools. This complete compatibility is ensured through the adoption of the Alpaca communication protocol, which allows the use of traditional ASCOM platform drivers for native INDI devices.
State-of-the-art mount construction
The BRESSER Nebula mounts are CNC-manufactured from stainless steel and aluminum. The simple and functional design is thanks to a renowned Italian mount manufacturer, who has designed and now also manufactures these fine BRESSER products 100%. So, look forward to a stable yet easily transportable mount, which despite its light weight of only 16 kg (including tripod) allows a high load capacity of up to 25 kg.
Visual Observation
For visual observation and direct use, control the mount with the hand control box included in the package. Alternatively, connect the Nebula 6 via WLAN directly to your smartphone or tablet and use the virtual hand control box. Of course, all adjustment parameters can also be adjusted via the web application. The user interface is deliberately simple and clear to ensure intuitive operation.
Astrophotography
Here, the Nebula mount shows its full strength. Whether mobile or stationary, remote capability is crucial. Connect your laptop or PC either via WLAN or with an Ethernet cable (recommended for faster data transfer) directly to the Raspberry-Pi control unit of the mount. Then use the pre-installed software Kstars/EKOS to control the mount and all external devices such as cameras, motor focus, filter wheel, etc. Alternatively, you can also directly control the unit with your own software. Applications such as Cart du Ciel (Star Chart), TheSkyX, SkySafari, Stellarium, and other planetarium programs as well as SGP, Nina, CCD Ciel, and other astrophotography tools can be used without any issues.
2-in-1 Mount with EQ and AZ Mode
If required, the Nebula can be switched from the equatorial mode to the azimuthal mode. This is particularly advantageous for observing nature or tracking satellites. Thus, the mount can be used for various applications and is not limited to astronomy only.
Attachment of up to two optics
Would you like to adapt multiple optics? No problem. Simply use the option to replace the counterweight bar with another telescope. Use the second optic simply as a counterweight to the main telescope. Set the Nebula 6 to azimuthal mode, remove the counterweight bar, and screw on an extension adapter with a suitable second telescope clamp directly to the mount.

Maksutov Newton MN-152 David H. Levy Comet Hunter Telescope
Highly corrected optic for wide-field observation and astrophotography. Developed in collaboration with the famous "comet hunter" David H. Levy. The Maksutov-Newton system does have some pros and cons respectively to the classical newtonian design. Apart from the higher price the main disadvantage is the higher weight - the thick corrector lens at the front is the cause for this. The main advantage of the Maksutov-Newton compared to the classical newton is the sharpness of the field of view. Classical newtonian telescopes do show a sharp pinpoint star image only at the middle of the field of view - outside the optical axis they have a dominant abberation, the so called coma. This is inherent in the newtonian design, and therefore valid for all newtonian telescopes of all brands and not caused by manufacturing tolerances. Coma distorts the star image - the pinpoint star shows a tail, just like a small comet. This decreases sharpness and contrast considerably. The Maksutov-Newton shows a much sharper star image - for most applications the coma is not visible. This results in a high contrast image all over the field of view - for visual observations and for astrophotography with DSLRs alike. This makes the Maksutov-Newton a ideal all-purpose telescope, that is able to show a sharp field without the need for additional correctors.
