Description
Featuring a five-element flatfield optical design with dual FPL53 glass elements, the Omegon Pro APO 72/400 Quintuplet CEM26 LiteRoc refractor astrograph delivers edge-to-edge pinpoint stars across large camera sensors. Built with a 72mm (2.83 inches) aperture, a 400mm focal length, and fast f/5.6 speed, this apochromatic telescope provides 1.61 arcsecond Dawes resolving power for deep-sky imaging.
The Omegon Pro APO 72/400 Quintuplet CEM26 LiteRoc incorporates dual FPL53 extra-low dispersion fluorite elements treated with SMC ultra-wideband multi-layer coatings. Its CNC-machined aerospace-grade aluminum tube features internal micro-baffles, a 3-inch dual-speed rack and pinion focuser with a 1:10 micro-drive, and a 360-degree field rotator. Supported by an iOptron CEM26 center-balanced GoTo mount and LiteRoc tripod, the complete tracking setup weighs 14.80 kg (32.63 lbs).
Key Features of Omegon Pro APO 72/400 Quintuplet CEM26 LiteRoc
Designed for advanced wide-field CMOS astrophotography, this Omegon Pro APO 72/400 quintuplet refractor provides an integrated flat focal plane without requiring external flatteners. Paired with a center-balanced iOptron CEM26 GoTo mount, it delivers exceptional tracking stability for long deep-sky exposures.
- 72mm (2.83 inches) aperture with 400mm focal length and fast f/5.6 focal ratio
- Five-element air-spaced quintuplet flatfield optical design with dual FPL53 glass
- SMC ultra-wideband multi-layer anti-reflective dispersion matrix coating
- 3-inch heavy-duty dual-speed rack and pinion focuser with 1:10 micro-focus drive
- Integrated 360-degree camera field rotator for precise image composition
- iOptron CEM26 center-balanced equatorial mount with GoTo hand controller
- LiteRoc heavy-duty tripod column for superior vibration dampening
- CNC-machined tube rings, Vixen dovetail plate, and aluminum hard storage case
Five-Element Flatfield Quintuplet Optics & Dual FPL53
The quintuplet optical design corrects spherical and chromatic aberrations while projecting a completely flat focal plane across full-frame sensors. With zero central obstruction (0.0%), this premium Omegon Pro astrograph supports magnifications from 10x up to 144x.
iOptron CEM26 Center-Balanced Mount & LiteRoc Tripod
Precise celestial tracking is critical for high-resolution astrophotography. The Omegon Pro APO 72/400 includes an iOptron CEM26 center-balanced equatorial mount that places payload weight directly over the center of gravity. Mounted on a heavy-duty LiteRoc tripod, it provides silent, high-accuracy GoTo pointing and stable autoguiding performance.
- iOptron CEM26 center-balanced equatorial mount with GoTo hand controller
- 3-inch dual-speed rack and pinion focuser with integrated 360-degree camera rotator
- Robust aluminum hard transport case for secure field transportation
