TecnoSky 180mm – Unlock the Pinnacle of Astronomical Excellence
The TecnoSky 180mm / 1260mm OWL SLD Triplet OTA – The Ultimate Dream Refractor for Elite Observers and Astrophotographers
Experience Unrivaled Clarity, Contrast, and Detail – The Professional’s Choice for Visual and Imaging Mastery
If you demand nothing but the best from your astronomical equipment, your search ends here. The TecnoSky 180mm / 1260 OWL SLD Triplet OTA is not just a telescope—it’s a masterpiece of optical engineering, designed for those who refuse to compromise. Whether you’re an advanced astrophotographer or a dedicated visual observer, this instrument delivers breathtaking performance, precision, and reliability at the highest level.
Why the TecnoSky AP 180mm / 1260 OWL SLD Triplet OTA Is the Benchmark for Professional Astronomy
Massive 7-inch (180mm) Triplet Apochromatic Optics: Capture the Universe with a giant, professional-grade refractor that delivers maximum sharpness and unparalleled contrast.
HOYA FCD-100 Lenses: Dual FCD-100 elements from Japan’s HOYA guarantee images utterly free of chromatic aberration—true color, every time.
Interferometric Certification: Each scope includes an optical certificate with a Strehl ratio of at least 0.95, ensuring world-class optical quality.
Heavy-Duty 4” Focuser: Supports even the heaviest imaging setups with 1:10 fine adjustment for razor-sharp focus, every session.
Robust, Precision-Engineered Construction: CNC-milled Ergal lens cell, full aluminum tube, internal baffles, and a long retractable dew shield for maximum stability and zero flexure.
Astrophotography at the Highest Level: With a clear 105mm aperture at the focuser, wide Losmandy rail, and 95mm backfocus, this TecnoSky 180mm OTA is ready for any camera, filter wheel, or off-axis guider—no compromises.

Giant Triplet Apochromat – Maximum Sharpness, Zero Chromatic Aberration:
At the heart of this telescope are two HOYA FCD-100 lenses, the gold standard for apochromatic performance. These Japanese-made elements, combined with a third precision-matched element, banish chromatic aberration for good. Every surface is fully multi-coated (FMC) to maximize light transmission and contrast. The result?
Pinpoint stars
Razor-sharp planetary detail
Deep-sky objects that appear almost three-dimensional
Each TecnoSky 180mm / 1260 is individually tested and comes with an optical interferometric certificate, boasting a Strehl ratio of at least 0.95. This means you’re guaranteed a lens set that meets or exceeds the highest professional standards—no guesswork, no compromises.
Large, heavy lenses demand a cell that won’t flex, bend, or expand. The CNC-milled Ergal cell ensures perfect alignment and thermal stability, while the lens cell is collimatable for precise optical alignment with the focuser.
The massive 4-inch focuser, with 1:10 fine adjustment and a clear 105mm aperture, is built for the heaviest imaging setups. Whether you’re using a full-frame camera, filter wheel, or off-axis guider, you’ll enjoy rock-solid support and ultra-precise focusing.
The all-aluminum tube features internal baffles for stray light suppression, a long retractable dew shield, and robust tube clamps with a 330mm Losmandy rail. The carrying handle makes transport and mounting a breeze.
With a 95mm backfocus and an extendable extension on linear guides, you can achieve perfect focus with any accessory combination. Add a 0.8x reducer and transform this instrument into a blazing-fast f/5.6 astrograph—without sacrificing the legendary sharpness and contrast of a 180mm triplet.
For lunar, planetary, and double star work, the unobstructed TecnoSky 180mm aperture delivers detail and contrast that mirror telescopes simply can’t match. For deep sky, the high light concentration and optical quality rival much larger instruments.
With the TecnoSky 180mm / 1260 OWL SLD Triplet OTA, you get the best of all worlds: uncompromising optical quality, mechanical precision, and the flexibility to support any advanced imaging or observing setup.
