Draco 62 Quintuplet Astrophotography Refractor
The Draco 62 is a Quintuplet astrograph refractor telescope that excels in widefield astrophotography.
Features
The Draco 62 includes a five-element apochromatic optical system with ED glass that provides sharp, well-corrected images at the native focal ratio of F/4.8 or at the very fast focal ratio of F/3.9 when used with the included 0.83x Focal Reducer.
Mechanically the Draco 62 offers a unique collimation adjustment that includes a built-in ball bearing and spring structure to simplify rear-end collimation adjustments with just two collimation screws.
The Draco 62 is Nitrogen injected for an IP67 Rating and features a one-piece high-quality rack-and-pinion focuser with 1:10 Fine Focus. This focuser provides rigid and flex-free performance and is compatible with the ZWO EAF.
The Focuser also includes 360 Degree Rotation.
M54 and M48 Adaptors are included for camera attachment and compatibility with T Ring Mounts.
Other features include a multifunction handle with tactical slide rails to provide multiple connection options, a CNC Tube Clamp, and a 25cm Vixen-compatible Dovetail Plate.

Founder Optics Draco Quintuplet 62 Masterpiece for Astrophotography 27 July 2024 | Ari
This telescope is a masterpiece, featuring a beautifully integrated flattener and an additional external reducer, which brings the focal ratio to F3.9. It includes both M54 and M48 adapters, giving users flexibility to fit their equipment. The package comes with all the necessary accessories for astrophotography and a detailed manual full of drawings.
I have not yet imaged with this telescope due to cloudy skies and moonlight over the past few nights. It also includes two beautiful and practical bags for transport and storage.
I plan to test it under dark skies during the next new moon.
Great service from First Light Optics!
