Apochromatic (APO) refractors use special lenses that offer the best chromatic aberration correction and the highest contrast. Apochromatic refractors are great telescopes for deep-sky astrophotography, but can be used with great performances to observe planets, [the] Moon, [the] Sun (with the proper Sun filter) and double stars. 5, record 1, English, - apochromatic%20refractor
