About the FSQ-106EDX4

The FSQ-106EDX4 is one of the most respected wide-field astrographs ever made — a flat, fast f/5 Petzval system that delivers pinpoint stars edge-to-edge across a large image circle, making it a favourite for both deep-sky imagers and mosaic work. Now discontinued and no longer in production, clean examples like this remain in strong demand on the used market. With the PrimaLuceLab rings and Optec FocusLynx autofocus already installed, this example is set up for serious imaging right out of the box.
