A.Jaegers 5" Fast Achromat
632mm | f/5 | 1960's Vintage Lens | ST120 2000's Vintage OTA | 2" Draw Tube
A nice Astromarter has already expressed interest in this telescope, but I thought I should briefly list it in case a Jaeger's collector is looking for one (I have told him I am doing this). In short, this is a hobby-project modified Orion ST120 with a Jaeger's 5" cemented achromatic doublet. On balance, I consider this an upgrade over the stock lens; contrast and sharpness appear superior (it is a wonderful wide field scope), while chromatic aberation feels slightly worse. The uncoated Jaegers lens is easy to clean and is not at risk of de-centering or other misalignment issues. I originally obtained the lens in a homemade cardboard tube and felt it deserved a better home.
I will include an unbranded 2" Star Diagonal with purchase. All other depicted accessories are included.
