![]() There is also a dedicated Massimo Riccardi designed APM Reducer. ![]() Imaging accessories for the 152-1200 iinclude a 2.5” field flattener which maintains focal length. Of course, if you would like to use a Starlight Instruments Feather Touch (model FTF3035B-A) then this can be supplied as an option. These use a new design of collar clamp, far superior to the common brass compression rings found on lesser designs. The attention to detail extends to areas like the 2” and 1.25” eyepiece adapters. It remains rigid under high loads making it suitable for imaging. The new 2.5” focuser is a Rack and Pinion type, with 1:10 fine focusing. Traditional APM quality has been applied in all areas. The tube weight of our new refractor is only 7.5kg! That’s nearly half the weight of our LZOS Triplet 152-1200. In terms of mount requirements you will be pleasantly surprised to find you won’t need to invest in a mount with the high load capacity normally required for a refractor of this size. All you need to do is add an eyepiece, diagonal and mount. Inside the quality Aluminium transport case you will find not only a fantastic value telescope but also a newly designed 2.5” focuser, CNC tube rings incorporating a carrying handle, 330mm Losmondy style dovetail and finder bracket.

With a generous 1200mm focal length, the 152-1200ED is an impressive all rounder. As with all APM telescopes consistency is assured and each telescope goes through an interferometrical test at the 532nm (green) wavelength before shipping. Our innovative combination of materials and design has resulted in optical performance far beyond the normal for a telescope of this price. The new 152-1200ED features a Doublet lens cell using ED glass equivalent to FPL-51 complimented by a Lanthanum coated element to maximise performance. APM have painstakingly engineered an optical and tube solution to bring you APM quality at an unheard of price. The new APM 152-1200 Doublet is a mould breaker in the 6” Refractor category.
