Description: | Non-ED APO with 5x Better Color Correction than non-Starfire earlier Astro Physics refractors. Two special-dispersion glasses used to upgrade color-correction to a very high level. Later Six-Radii air-spaced 178 f/9 Starfires were very close in color-correction to later ED based AP APO's. The early scopes were Blue and later ones White. Astro Physics manufactured 1987-1991. |
