SkyRaider 66mm ED APO Refractor is the ultimate Visual and Photographic instrument. The 2.6" Fully multicoated S-FPL51 glass ED APO doublet refractor will give you both amazing high contrast views and tack sharp images! At a 400mm F/6 focal length you are ready to Shoot The Moon and The Stars however you wish. The ED glass used virtually eliminates any fringing leaving you breathless. I'm going to say it, "There is no other refractor in this price range that will come close in visual and photographic performance." there I said it!
