Kson A127G “Ki’mah” Kson (F/9.5) 2″ Fine Focuser and Bonus Case

$1,099.95

The Kson A127G “Ki’mah” is a Mk II classic air-spaced, crown-and-flint, doublet achromatic f/9.5 refractor.  It features a superior-class optical figure (due to the high quality hand ground lens, which, while slow to produce, is exceptional in quality).

You will be impressed by the stunning lunar and deep space images revealed to you at the eyepiece, and all at a small fraction of the price you’d pay for a comparably sized apochromat refractor!

Description

Astrodog Exclusive – The A127G MK III 127×1200 Refractor – Includes Rings & Vixen Plate Version with Nylon Handy Case

The Kson A127G “Ki’mah” is a Mk III classic air-spaced, crown-and-flint, doublet achromatic f/9.5 refractor.

Like the A102G, it has some special optical upgrades.  It features a superior-class optical figure (due to the high quality hand ground lens.  Hand ground lenses, while slow to produce, are exceptional in quality.  It also features a step up in the optical glass used, and uses superior K9/ZF2 glass which resulted in an even more contrasty view with less CA than you would normally expect.

You will be impressed by crisp lunar, planetary and deep space images revealed to you at the eyepiece, and all at a small fraction of the price you’d pay for a comparably sized apochromat refractor.

The new “Ki’mah” is impressively made, with lots of thought and care going into the design, and delightfully – from the dew shield to the focuser, no plastic.

It comes with the special Mk III heavy-duty 2″ CG Dual Speed Crayford-style focuser with metal knurled knobs, a cradle ring assembly with Vixen-style dovetail mount and a superb nylon travel bag.

The luxury case is worth talking about.  It’s full length, takes the whole scope, and allows lots of room for accessories to be fitted inside also.  It is shorter than you might think due to the A127G’s retractable dewshield, so is quite compact and can easily fit in the back seat of a car.

Just add a finder of your choice (the Kson 8×50 is gorgeous and gives great views in it’s own right, plus get an astrometric eyepiece with it), a 2″ diagonal, a few regular eyepieces and the alt-azimuth or equatorial mount of your choice and you’ll be ready to go!

NEW Mk III Upgrades

  • 2″ CG Dual Speed Focuser as standard
  • Most refractors have one or two screws which dig into the eyepieces / cameras.  We’ve upgraded the connector to a three screw compression ring system to securely hold heavier loadouts
  • Smooth Pearly White Finish
  • Improved Baffling
  • Aperture Cap, transforming it into a f/15 instrument on demand
  • Solar Cap, allowing solar observation*
