130 APO F/7
The objective assembly is tilt-adjustable, providing precise collimation for both visual observation and astrophotography.
The 130APO comes standard with an astronomical dovetail plate, fully compatible with common equatorial mounts on the market. A convenient carrying handle is also included, making it easy to remove the telescope from its case. The dovetail features multiple mounting holes, allowing easy installation of accessories such as astronomy controllers, industrial PCs, or guide scopes.
The optical tube is crafted from high-quality aluminum alloy using CNC machining. Multiple internal baffles and a premium anti-reflection focuser design provide excellent stray-light suppression, significantly improving image quality.
The telescope tube adopts a two-section design, making it suitable for both visual observation and astrophotography. The tube includes a 100mm extension section with a knurled finish for easy handling. By removing the extension, users can easily install binoviewers, Matsumoto erecting prisms, and other visual accessories.
The 130APO focuser is a 2.5-inch dual-speed aluminum unit, featuring a 10:1 fine reduction ratio for precise manual focusing. It is also compatible with most motorized focusers available on the market, making it highly suitable for building automated astrophotography systems.
The focuser drawtube is treated with Sky Rover’s premium anti-reflection coating to effectively suppress stray light. The rear of the focuser provides an M63x1 thread, a standard 2-inch adapter, and a 2-inch to 1.25-inch reducer, allowing easy use with field rotators, star diagonals, eyepieces, and other accessories.
