Mini Borg 50EDII
Introducing the latest member of the Mini Borg line — the 50EDII (available after June 30, 2009). This scope features a 50mm ED f/10 objective and excellent baffling to suppress reflections, making it ideal for solar or lunar imaging. As we have come to expect from the modular Borg scopes, the mechanical specifications for this scope are compatible with the other accessories for the Mini Borg line.
The IDAS RS (Reflection Suppression) filters have been updated with UV blocking coatings, eliminating the need for an additional blocker in refractors. Unmounted filters are available in 31mm and 50mm sizes. Check the RS filter page for more technical information.
