The new ED lenses feature brighter images from the shorter f/7.7 focal ratio to capture crisp, pinpoint star images for your enjoyment. The ED115S telescope lenses are made with environmentally friendly technologies, free of hazardous lead that helps to support a cleaner global environment. The new lenses focus the full spectrum of visible light to a critical point much more accurately than past ED products.
