Hi! It is a blue metallic color. Similar to other Apertura refractor designs. Have a look at the product page in the description to see more pictures of it for reference! Thanks for watching!
Hi! Apertura decided on a fixed flattener and fixed reducer (optional) to eliminate any issues of sag from that point. In regards to the focuser, it can easily handle a full frame sensor, OAG, and filter wheel without any issues. It's pretty rock solid! Thanks for watching!
I'm looking to install the ZWO EAF. The instructions say to remove the coarse focus knob. Unfortunately there are no set screws on that side. The other side with the fine focus adjustment has set screws for those knobs. How do I remove the coarse focus knob?
The guys at High Point Scientific replied to my support email and I was able to remove the coarse knob. "First, you are going to want to remove this small silver grub screw located right next to the coarse knob. Once you have done this, and this is the tricky part is then loosening the two small grub screws that hold the focuser knob on the shaft that are now accessible through the hole that has opened from the removal of that first screw." The only thing I would add to their instructions above would be: you need to spin the focus knob until you see the two small grub screws. Thanks Guys!
Our tests out in the field were very positive - The optics when paired with a full frame camera are nearly perfectly corrected to the very edges. One of the best field tests with any refractor we've tested so far. We ran the tests on individual subframes but didnt have the cooperating weather to dedicate 15-20 hours into a full astrophoto. The results we believe would be incredible given the quality of just a single sub frame!
@@highpointscientific I have it in my cart on your website. Back ordered unfortunately. Sony E M48 T ring backordered as well. Looks like it’s worth the wait. Thanks for the response!
Glad to see this is bundled with the flattener and case. One day I'd like to add this or a similar apo to my arsenal.
Nice scope.
Where do I go to buy Teagan’s cool tee shirts?
👍👍👍
Wow over budget 😢
I have no idea what colour this is, is it green with a blue light shining on it or grey or blue?

Hi! How well does the focuser handle a 2600mm with an oag and FW?

What size is the focuser? 2.5"?
Hi! Yes, it is a 2.5" focuser!
What would be the best mount
2:14 stars look dim
I was gonna buy this but I can’t find any reviews of people actually using it for astro…makes me wary.

was not the fpl-53 glass axed?
Hi! The Apertura 90mm Apo does use FPL-53 glass. Thanks for watching!
