imaging refractors and much larger premium APOs. Its 110mm aperture provides increased light gathering and resolution while the 660mm focal length and f\/6 focal ratio make it particularly useful for deep-sky astrophotography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAdd the lightweight carbon-fibre tube, premium ED glass, heavy-duty rotatable focuser and included aluminium case, and this becomes a highly capable imaging OTA for the advanced astrophotographer looking to move beyond smaller aperture refractors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Omegon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55639510221176,"sku":"55229","price":1359.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/1650\/4241\/files\/Omegon-Apochromatic-refractor-Pro-APO-AP-110-660-ED-Carbon-OTA_1.jpg?v=1787649835","url":"https:\/\/www.darkclearskies.co.uk\/products\/omegon-pro-apo-110-660-ed-carbon-ota","provider":"Dark Clear Skies ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
