If you are ready to upgrade to larger, APO refractor that isn’t too heavy for grab-and-go spontaneous stargazing sessions, then the Explore Scientific 140 APO ED refractor is a fantastic option for you. This ED140 apochromatic (APO) refractor uses superior, low-dispersion, Ohara FPL-53 optics (which is considered to be Ohara’s best, ever-created glass) and an air-spaced triplet design that omits almost all chromatic aberrations. Being made of carbon fiber, this bird is also very lightweight.
