| Not only do you get superb ED optics at a sensationally low price with the Astro-Tech AT66ED refractor, you get your choice of five different tube colors to match your personal tastes – black, red, blue, green, or white. There’s no need to settle for just one or two color choices, as with most scopes . . . And you don’t have to settle for less than superb optics at the low price, either. The apochromatic optics of the AT66ED are superb.
Feast your eyes on the 66mm Astro-Tech telescopes from Astronomy Technologies. The clean lines, the dual speed focuser, the rich anodizing, and the incredible machining make these value-priced Astro-Tech scopes true works of art. Not only a precision dual speed focuser, but a focuser that rotates a full 360° to bring your eyepiece or camera to the most comfortable observing position with a simple twist of a knurled ring on the scope body. The standard equipment locking foam-fitted aluminum case holds accessories as well as the telescope. The compact case not only protects your investment, but makes it the perfect travel scope and companion. An AT66ED review in Cloudy Nights commented on its “unexpectedly high level of fit and finish. The AT66 looks a lot more expensive than it is . . . a very fine instrument and an exceptional value for the money.”
The 400mm f/6 fully multicoated ED doublet lens produces fantastic images that are virtually color-free, even at high magnifications. In fact, one observer remarked that the only color he could see was on the outside of the telescope. The scopes are amazingly well suited for deep space astrophotography. Click on this link to jump to the AT66ED page and click on any of the scopes you see there. There are wide field CCD astrophotography images in each scope description (including a 1603 x 2000 pixel high res image) that will absolutely amaze you.
In addition, Astronomy Technologies lets you choose a scope that fits your personality. You have your choice of five different long-lasting anodized tube colors to choose from – white, black, red, blue, or forest green.
