About

A 111 mm f/6.9 quadruplet air-spaced APO astrograph — three elements in front, one at the rear, one of them ED — that is self-flattening, so no separate flattener or back-focus calculation is needed for its 44 mm full-frame circle. It has a 3-inch dual-speed rack-and-pinion focuser with a 360-degree graduated rotator, two finder bases and a stepped photographic adapter set.
