TS PHOTOLINE 130 mm f / 7 triplet APO - 3.7 inch RPA extension - FPL-53

This APO Refractor is an uncompromising telescope for astrophotography, thanks to the colorless lens and the 3.7 "RPA eyepiece extractor.

♦ 130 mm triplet air gap lens with OHAR FPL-53 glass

♦ Multicoating on each glass-air surface

♦ 910 mm focal length, opening ratio 1: 7

♦ 3.7 "RPA Photoline Eyepiece extractor for correctors and focal length reducers such as Riccardi or PHOTOLINE, with maximum illumination and stability

♦ Push-in dew cap for easy transport




With the PHOTOLINE APO series, telescope service is based on uncompromising optical and mechanical quality.

The 130mm f / 7 apo triplet refractor is equipped with one of the best lenses in its class. The Apo element uses the tried and tested FPL-53 from Ohara (Japan). The colorless lens is mounted in a temperature-compensated socket, which also compensates for minus degrees.

The powerful lens is very popular with astrophotographers, so we can now offer this Apo with the large 3.7 "RPA excerpt, which can also be used with CCD cameras with large sensors and with all standard correctors such as the Riccardi 0 , 75x-Reducer or the TS PHOTOLINE 3 "-latter.

Advantages and features of the PHOTOLINE 130-mm-F7 Deluxe-Apo:

♦ Triplet lens with air gap - Apo element from FPL53 from Ohara
♦ Temperature compensated, fully adjustable version
♦ 3,7 "RPA Photoline tooth drive eyepiece extractor with micro-support - carries accessories up to 7 kg
♦ Sturdy aluminum tubing with internal screens


The lens of the PHOTOLINE 130 mm F7 APO:

In this telescope, we have deliberately opted for the high-quality FPL-53 as the material for the Apo element in order to offer the best possible optical quality. The manufacturer also offers simpler, less expensive FPL-51 lenses.

The multi-compensated lens is mounted in a temperature-compensated socket. The lens is not cemented, the lenses are separated by air gaps. The lens edges are blackened.


The 3.7 "RPA eyepiece extractor

A highlight of the telescope is certainly the modern "rack-and-pinion" -shuttle with gear-wheel adjustment. The quality of this excerpt is close to the well-known Feather Touch excerpts from Starlight. The large-sized extension allows the use of full-format and large-format cameras without shading, of course with the appropriate correctors.

♦ Adjustment by means of gear - no friction - no yielding as with the Crayford pull-out.
♦ Indoor blinds against reflexes
♦ Free diameter: 102 mm
♦ Adjustment range of the extension pipe: 98 mm
♦ 360 ° rotation for optimum image field selection
♦ Self-centering 2 "and 1.25" adapters for correct clamping on the optical axis.
♦ Connection thread for photo-adaptions: M100x1 internal thread, M92x1 internal thread, M68x1 Zeiss level internal thread


Recommended Astrophotography Correctors for the PHOTOLINE Apo:

TSFLAT3 - Large format corrector without changing the focal length

♦ The corrector fits directly to the M92x1 internal thread of the eyepiece extension.
♦ The recommended working distance is 103 mm.
♦ Included in the scope of delivery is a reduction to M48 - 2 "filter thread, from this thread it is 55 mm to the optimum position of the camera sensor - ideal for DSLR cameras.

TS 0,79x PHOTOLINE Focal Length Reduction and Corrector - TSRED379-130

♦ The corrector fits directly to the M68 connection thread of the eyepiece extension
