ZWO FF90 APO Flat-Field 90mm Apochromatic Refractor
$1,649.00
FF90 APO. Flat field, built in.
A 90 mm f/6.8 four-element apochromatic refractor with a native flat field and a 44 mm full-frame image circle. The all-rounder of the FF series, with the aperture for serious deep-sky imaging and the weight for an easy portable setup.
Designed as an astrograph first.
Every FF series telescope is built around a native flat field, so the optics, focuser and rear interfaces all serve one goal: clean stars across the whole sensor.
Attach your camera, reach focus, start imaging. No flattener. No spacing maths.
Four elements, fully air-spaced.
The FF90 APO uses a four-element, fully air-spaced apochromatic design in which all four elements work together to form the image. One ED (extra-low dispersion) glass element reduces chromatic aberration for cleaner colour correction and sharper stars.
Flat to the edge. No flattener.
The flat imaging field is generated by the optical design itself, so there is no field flattener to buy and no back focus calculations to get right. Once focus is achieved, you are ready to capture.
44 mm image circle.
A 44 mm corrected image circle fully covers full-frame sensors, with sharp star fields and consistent illumination from centre to corner. Smaller APS-C and dedicated astronomy sensors have generous headroom.
1:10 dual-speed control.
A rigid 3″ rack-and-pinion focuser offers precise control, and the 1:10 coarse and fine adjustment makes critical focus easy to hit. A built-in 360° rotator at the rear sets your framing without disturbing focus.
Retractable dew shield.
The dew shield retracts to shorten the tube for packing and travel. Precision CNC machining, a high-quality painted finish and an internal anti-reflection coating keep stray light down and image contrast up.
Adapters in the box.
A photography extension tube with a 2″ filter thread is included, along with rear adapters in M48×0.75 and M54×0.75 standards. The quick-release mounting rings detach in seconds for fast setup and teardown.
Four elements. One flat field.
All four air-spaced elements work together to form the image, with one ED glass element controlling chromatic aberration for clean colour correction and tight, well-defined stars.
The light path, end to end.
The optical layout delivers a corrected, flat field at the sensor with no additional optics in the imaging train. What leaves the objective arrives at your camera, flat.
44 mm image circle.
Full-frame sensors are covered corner to corner with sharp star fields and consistent illumination, and smaller sensors sit comfortably inside the sweet spot.
Coarse and fine, 1:10.
The rigid 3″ rack-and-pinion focuser moves heavy imaging trains smoothly, and the 1:10 fine knob gives you the resolution to land exact focus on a star.
360° of rotation.
A built-in rotator at the rear lets you set the camera angle for perfect framing without unthreading anything or disturbing focus.
Quick-release rings. Retractable dew shield.
The mounting rings detach in seconds for fast setup and teardown, and the dew shield slides back to shorten the tube for transport. CNC machining and an internal anti-reflection coating keep contrast high.
Photography extension tube.
A photography extension tube with a 2″ filter thread is included, plus M48×0.75 and M54×0.75 rear adapters, connecting cameras, filters and accessories cleanly out of the box.
90 mm of aperture, without the bulk.
At 90 mm aperture and 609 mm focal length, the FF90 APO gathers noticeably more light than smaller travel scopes while staying genuinely portable. The optical tube weighs 3.92 kg, or 4.52 kg with the handle, mounting rings and dovetail plate fitted.
One telescope. Three configurations.
Pair the FF90 APO with ZWO ASI astronomy cameras, attach a DSLR or mirrorless body, or drop in a diagonal and eyepiece for visual observing. Focus is reached within a back focus range of 45–75 mm, measured from the M54–M48 interface shoulder. Visual accessories are available separately.
Every detail, considered.
Four-element, fully air-spaced apochromatic design with one ED glass element.
Native flat-field design, no separate field flattener or spacing adjustments required.
44 mm image circle with full-frame sensor support and edge-to-edge sharpness.
3″ rack-and-pinion focuser with 1:10 coarse and fine adjustment.
Built-in 360° rotator for precise camera angle adjustment.
Retractable dew shield with internal anti-reflection coating for higher contrast.
Quick-release mounting rings for fast setup and teardown.
Photography extension tube with 2″ filter thread plus M48×0.75 and M54×0.75 rear adapters included.
