The Sharpstar AL-140PH APO is an apochromatic triplet with a focal ratio of f/6.5 and a focal length of 910mm. The objective lens includes two Extra Low Dispersion glass for a superb chromatic correction.
The large rack and pinion 4" focuser can be rotated 360°and it has a reduction gear of 1:10 for precise focusing. This refractor works at its best when used with the SharpStar 2.5" field flattener for superior performance in astrophotography. The focuser is compatible with the ZWO EAF electronic focuser bracket.
All the lenses are fully multi-coated and the tube is internally flocked to reduce reflections and absorb stray light. The tube is made of aluminium, the rack and pinion focusing mechanism of brass and the mechanical components are engineered to provide the best rigidity, performance and durability.
