The Starfield Optics Gear70Q is crafted for astrophotographers seeking high-quality optics and a flat field across the entire frame. With its 70mm aperture and premium quadruplet design, this apochromatic refractor minimizes chromatic aberration, providing sharp, true-color images of deep-sky objects.
Featuring a 350mm focal length and a fast f/5 focal ratio, the Gear70Q excels at wide-field imaging, making it perfect for capturing expansive targets such as large nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies. When paired with an APS-C sensor, the Gear70Q’s field of view is ideal for framing popular objects like the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), the Pleiades (M45), and the Lagoon Nebula (M8), providing detailed, edge-to-edge sharpness without the need for additional field flatteners.
Building on the success of the Gear60Q, the Gear70Q offers a larger aperture for enhanced light-gathering power, delivering greater detail on faint deep-sky objects. Its use of FPL-53 glass ensures exceptional color correction, allowing you to capture crisp, artifact-free images, even with demanding full-frame and APS-C sensors.
A 2.5" focuser with a camera angle adjuster, also known as a manual rotator, also boasts a tilt adjustment plate.
Standard on all Gear series, a functional hand and carry case is included. The case has been designed to hold accessories. Place your camera, and control unit in the carry case, and enjoy that there is a cut out for your focusing motor to remain of the telescope. Grab and Go made easy.
Key Features:
- 70mm (2.8") aperture for improved light collection and detail, perfect for astrophotography.
- Quadruplet (4-element) APO refractor design for optimal image clarity and color fidelity.
- Fully multi-coated optics to maximize light transmission and reduce reflections.
- 350mm focal length with a fast f/5 focal ratio, ideal for wide-field imaging of nebulae, galaxies, and star clusters.
- 2.5” dual-speed rack & pinion focuser, providing smooth, precise focusing adjustments.
- Tilt adjustment plate for sharp star images across your CMOS sensor
- CAA Camera Angle Adjuster. Position your camera sensor exactly where you want it to be.
- Vixen-style dovetail, ensuring compatibility with a variety of mounts and tripods.
The flat-field optics provide uniform sharpness across the entire image plane, making it an ideal choice for DSLR or dedicated astrophotography cameras. Whether you're capturing the vibrant colors of nebulae or the intricate details of galaxies, the Gear70Q ensures every shot is a masterpiece.
