Product description

More about the series Pro APO...

New: This apochromatic refractor is now being shipped with a new improved linear Crayford focuser. You will benefit from its high load capacity and high precision.

Omegon 66/400 Aporic Refractor - Top-quality optics for your bag
It is small and compact, but this 66 mm apochromatic refractor packs a powerful punch. The Omegon 66/400 ED-APO produces particularly colour-pure and high-contrast images – just right for connoisseurs and demanding observers!

ED-APO objective for enchanting images
Nature lovers and amateur astronomers who value particularly colour-pure images will be well served by the Omegon ED 66 APO. Even at approximately 100x magnification, there are no noticeable colour errors. The double-lens ED objective meets high standards.

For the most beautiful moments: Power Linear focuser with 1:10 reduction
A new and improved focuser makes your observations and photography even more enjoyable and precise. The Power Linear focuser is based on the Crayford principle, but also has a rack and pinion guide rail. The combination of these two technologies makes the focuser precise and particularly robust. Diagonal mirrors, a heavy eyepiece or a whole camera rig: simply attach whatever comes to mind.

A 1:10 reduction ratio gives you precise focusing – a must for astrophotography or high magnifications.

Get out into nature – you can enjoy it all:
The Omegon 66 is a very attractive and compact instrument for demanding nature observers. See fine details in birds' plumage or observe animals at a distance and be amazed by the details! This small and compact instrument also offers excellent performance for observing the sky. General observations are a pleasure with this instrument. Even details on the moon and planets are clearly visible.

Very useful as a telephoto lens
The AP 66/400 ED is also a very well corrected telephoto lens with a focal length of 400 mm. This allows you to take attractive nature photographs and also very beautiful astro photographs. The 1:10 reduction ratio of the focuser allows for particularly accurate focusing.

Aluminium transport case
The Omegon apochromatic refractor is delivered well protected in a sturdy aluminium case. It rests securely in the middle of thick foam padding and is always ready for its next use.

Note: To start observing immediately, you will need a diagonal prism and a suitable eyepiece. Both are available in our accessories section.

The advantages at a glance:

  • Crystal-clear ED optics for crisp, sharp images
  • ¼" connection: suitable for any photo tripod
  • New and improved Power Linear focuser with reduction gear
  • Compact APO ideal as a travel telescope, spotting scope or guide scope
