A premium apochromatic refractor designed for both avid stargazers and serious astrophotographers. This telescope features a 156mm aperture and a 1217mm focal length (f/7.8), engineered for precision and durability. The Fluorostar 156 APO excels in delivering crisp, color-corrected visuals, thanks to its advanced triplet lens system incorporating FPL-53 glass and a Lanthanum element.

Robust and reliable, the telescope boasts a sturdy steel objective cell that mitigates thermal expansion and maintains alignment under varying temperatures, ensuring consistent high performance. Aesthetically, it is available in three stunning finishes: vibrant red, elegant gold, and modern space grey, each complementing the sleek white tube.

For those eager to capture the cosmos, the Fluorostar 156 APO is equipped with a 3.7" Rack & Pinion Focuser for seamless, precise focusing adjustments. This model comes standard with a unique Bahtinov Mask integrated into the dust cover for flawless focusing, three anodized CNC-made tube rings, and a robust Losmandy-type dovetail bar for secure mounting and enhanced versatility.

Whether exploring celestial wonders or capturing them for posterity, the William Optics Fluorostar 156 APO stands as a superior choice for dedicated astronomers.
