The Explore Scientific AR152 (6") telescope is a classic air-spaced, crown-and-flint doublet achromatic refractor, and it provides the brightest images and highest resolution of the AR Series. Explore's goal was to provide an extreme value by providing true diffraction-limited optics at a price that will allow more people to explore the sky with a wide-field (f/6.5) large aperture refractor. Images of deep sky objects are stunning at low powers and all at a small fraction of the price you would pay for a similar aperture apochromat refractor. At high power, the moon, planets, and double stars are revealed in sharp, high contrast. Designed to handle the rigors of public star parties and educational outreach, the Explore Scientific AR Series telescopes come with heavy-duty, high quality components, including a 2" dual-speed focuser, a one-piece 2" diagonal with 99% dielectric coatings, an 8 X 50 non-illuminated straight -thru finderscope and quick release bracket with hybrid 2N1 finder base, and a cradle ring assembly with Vixen-style dovetail mount. Just add a few eyepieces and the alt-azimuth or equatorial mount of your choice and you'll be ready to discover the Universe! This Explore Scientific AR152 f/6.5 Air-Spaced Doublet Achromat Refractor telescope has a white painted finish aluminum tube, with a 152 mm (6") aperture doublet objective, and has a focal length of 988 mm or an f/6.5 focal ratio. With its resolution of 0.77 arcsecond, it will provide you with excellent images when viewing any celestial objects. Since it has a limiting magnitude of 13.4, it will allow you to see many of the best planetary and Messier Object wonders.
