This telecompressor was specifically designed with 7-layer anti-reflection multi-coated air-spaced doublet achromatic lenses to maintain image brightness and resolution while speeding up the optical tube assembly for better imaging results with shorter exposure times. It also improves the view by widening and flattening it as well as correcting spherical aberration and astigmatism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo accommodate different viewing and imaging applications, it has been engineered so it can be reconfigured for optimum results when used with different optional accessories. For those who wish to use the telecompressor with binocular viewers, the manufacturer recommends it to be used only with Baader Planetarium, Zeiss, and Celestron models; it should not be used on Meade SCTs with a native f\/6.3 focal ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ch2\u003eALPINE ASTRONOMICAL Alan Gee Mark II specs\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e3.2 oz \/ 90.0 g\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eALPINE ASTRONOMICAL Alan Gee Mark II Telecompressor\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLimited 2-Year Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAll product and company names are trademarks™ or registered® trademarks of their respective holders.
