Starwave 60ED

Starwave 60ED A super portable refractor telescope with FCD100 ED glass, suitable for astrophotography or visual use, day or night-time. 

The Starwave 60ED becomes a fast astrograph at F4.8 with the optional 0.8x Reducer. The FCD100 ED Doublet lens gives very good colour correction, controlling hot blue stars especially well. Many companies sell this lens as "APO" due to the excellent colour aberration control, which is better than most DSLR lenses costing many times the price.

Guide scope top clamp attachment: Includes a top-mounted guide scope clamp.

0.8x Reducer: By attaching the dedicated 0.8x reducer you get a fast flat field astrograph operating at F4.8 for wide field shots with a focal length of 288mm.
