AP 160/1120 Apochromatic Triplet Refractor OTA

The AP 160/1120 Triplet OTA is a large-aperture apochromatic refractor designed to provide high performance for both visual observation and high-resolution astrophotography. With a 160 mm diameter and 1120 mm focal length, it represents a versatile instrument for planetary and deep-sky use.

Triplet optical design

The optical assembly consists of an apochromatic triplet designed to reduce chromatic aberration and improve image contrast. The three-element configuration ensures controlled color rendering and high sharpness across the entire field.

f/7 focal ratio

With an f/7 focal ratio, the telescope offers a good balance between brightness and aberration control, making it suitable for both detailed visual observation and astrophotography with the potential use of dedicated correctors.

Observational performance
