| GREAT PRODUCT! |

Fantastic Refractor Lens Assembly - 155 mm (6.1 inches) Diameter
(5 Elements in 2 Assemblies) f/2.0 to f/3.25
Main Assembly contains an ED Lanthanum Element

FULLY MULTI-COATED - Used but in excellent condition.

Make a dream refractor - 300 to 500 focal length and 260 mm long.
This came from a government camera lens costing thousands!

Consider this a fairly easy telescope construction project.

APO Lens Set
Refractor Lens has two assemblies. One is a 155 mm air-spaced triplet lens with an ED Lanthanum element.
The second is a 85 mm corrector lens. All lenses fully multi-coated.

The 155 mm assembly makes a 190 mm focal length
(f/1.25) refractor by itself. This objective assembly
has 3
air-spaced elements including an ED element.

The second assembly in this refractor optics gives a final system of 310 mm to 500 mm focal length
(f/2 to f/3.25)

These lens assemblies came from a government camera that cost thousands to produce. This will make a dream, fast refractor at 6.1 inches (155 mm) and f/3.25 to f/2.0. All elements are fully multi-coated. One of the elements is an ED Lanthanum lens.

There are only a VERY few of these available. As they say, when they are gone, they are gone. These elements are packed with care and sent to you with suggested spacing for several different focal ratios.

The main  lens element itself will make a fantastic f/1.25  scope. Use that for a real fast CCD camera element. With the corrector, you get a high quality, and still a very fast, f/2.0 to f/3.25 refractor. These assemblies produce 300 to 500 mm focal length. Because of the corrector element, the total length of the refractor itself is only 250 mm long or a little longer.

This is a fast lens system that will make a great deep-sky telescope and "rich field" scope. Would take fantastic deep-sky photos!
To construct this telescope you need to provide a tube and supports for the two assemblies. You also will need to support these assemblies in such a way that they can be aligned the first time. You need a refractor focus mount. The resulting job is much easier than grinding a mirror, but not a trivial job. A 6 inch refractor is usually difficult to mount, but the short tube length makes this fairly easy.

Contrast in very important to bring out faint deep-sky features and fine detail. This refractor has advanced multi-coated optics and the ED element in the triplet.

Shipping by mail on this item within the US is $15.95. We do not plan to ship these outside the United States. Email us about to discuss this if you wish.
