The Kowa Highlander features 82mm diameter, 450mm focal length (F/5.48) objectives that are fully multi-coated to enhance viewing, ensuring clear visual range and sharp images. The 32x eyepieces are designed to provide a wide field of view with ample eye relief for easy and less tiring viewing. Optional interchangeable 50x and 21x eyepieces are also available. The Highlander is designed not only for astronomy but also to fulfil the needs of observation and surveillance professionals.
The Kowa "Prominar Apochromat" model with fluorite crystal objectives is for those seeking the highest possible optical performance.
The fluorite lenses eliminate false colour (also often called chromatic aberration), which in turn vastly also improves resolution, contrast, detail and sharpness.
The Highlander's strong yet lightweight die-cast aluminium housing is extremely durable, with a rigid structure that can endure hard usage.
Weight is just 6.2 kg with the standard 32x eyepieces.
The housing is waterproof and filled with dry nitrogen gas to prevent internal fogging.
Individual-focus eyepieces are set at a 45-degree angle, allowing for easy, long-term observation of both terrestrial and astronomical targets. Also included are built-in retractable dew shields that help protect against stray light and moisture.
Options include a selection of tripods/mounts, a high-quality aluminium carrying case, as well as wide-angle 21x and high-power 50x Kowa eyepiece pairs.
