The AR127 127mm f/6.5 Achromatic Refractor Telescope (OTA) is a classic air-spaced, crown-and-flint, doublet achromatic refractor intended to produce superior-class optical figure in a short (f/6.5) focal-length design. With the AR127 model, you will be impressed by the stunning images revealed to you at the eyepiece at a fraction of the price you'd pay for a comparably sized apochromat refractor.
Designed to handle the rigors of public star parties and educational outreach, 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, Explore Scientific Hybrid Finder Scope Base installed with an 8x50 non-illuminated straight-through finderscope and quick release bracket, 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.
