72mm Fluorite Objective Lens for Space Observation
The MOEBIUS 55 telescope features a modular design, making it easy to replace the objective lens. Upgrading to the newly introduced large aperture 72mm fluorite objective lens 'MOEBIUS Objective Lens 72FL' significantly enhances the telescope's performance.
Fluorite lenses (material: fluorite) minimize chromatic aberration and provide extremely sharp images. Changing the lens to the MOEBIUS Objective Lens 72FL results in a focal length of 400mm and F5.6, offering a wider field of view and brighter vision. This makes it particularly effective for observing nebulae, star clusters, and comets.
