TS-Optics PHOTOLINE 130mm f/7 FPL53 Triplet Apo - 3.7" Focuser

Photoline 130mm f/7 Deluxe Apochromat: a refractor without compromise

The 130mm f/7 apo triplet refractor is equipped with one of the best lenses in its class. The tested FPL53 from Ohara (Japan) is used for the apo element. The colorless lens is stored in a temperature compensated mount that also compensates for sub-zero temperatures. The high-performance objective is particularly popular with astrophotographers, which is why we now also offer this apo with the large 3.7" RPA focuser. This means that CCD cameras with large sensors and with all common correctors can also be used, even for full format.

Advantages and characteristics of the PHOTOLINE 130 mm F7 Deluxe Apo:

♦ Triple air gap lens: Apo element made with Ohara's FPL53

♦ Fully adjustable frame with temperature compensation

♦ RPA Photoline 3.7" Micro Reduction Rack and Pinion Focuser - supports accessories up to 8kg with 360° rotation

♦ Stable aluminum tube with internal screens to protect against stray light

The 3.7" RPA Focuser - Ball Bearing:

The highlight of the telescope is undoubtedly the modern "Rack-And-Pinion" focuser with rack and pinion adjustment and ball bearings. The generously dimensioned extension also allows the use of full-frame and large-format cameras without shadows, of course with the appropriate correctors.

♦ Rack and pinion adjustment - no friction - no sag like with the Crayford focuser.

♦ Internal screens to avoid reflections

♦ Free diameter: 102 mm

♦ Extension tube adjustable range: 100mm

♦ 360° rotation for optimal field of view selection

♦ 2" and 1.25" self-centering adapters for a correct fixation in the optical axis.

♦ Connection thread for photo adaptations: M100x1 internal thread, M92x1 internal thread, M68x1 ZEISS level internal thread and of course 2" and 1.25" receptacles

♦ The working distance is optimized for all common correctors and also for visual observation.

♦ Binocular accessories with a 2" star diagonal can be used without glass path compensation, only the 100mm long spacer needs to be removed.
