APM LZOS 130 F9 Triplet APO Refractor - UNAVAILABLE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

The APM 130-1200 Super ED Triplet was made as a direct result of customer requests for a Super Planetary Apo in the 5" size with unbeatable optical quality and colour correction for use at extreme magnifications. There is no similar quality Telescope in the 5" range on the market..

The combination of a long 1200mm focal length and 130mm aperture allow for not only outstanding colour correction, but also mean the overall weight of this triplet starts at around 8kg with the smallest focuser. This allows for easy transportation and use on mounts with medium load capacities. The colour correction offered by this scope allows for magnifications to be used well beyond the quoted maximum of 260x.

Imaging accessories for the 130-1200 include a 2.5” field flattener and the APM Riccardi Model 2 Flattener. There is also a dedicated Massimo Riccardi designed APM Reducer. This changes focal length by a factor of x 0.75, resulting in a 900mm focal length and fast f6.9 aperture.

The APM-LZOS 130/9 Custom is offered as standard with a Starlight Instruments FT3545 Focuser. The tube is hand made using a phenolic material. This provides excellent anti-dewing properties iand is far more resistant to focus shift than an aluminium tube. The tube features a complex internal baffle arrangement and is internally flocked. The tube is supplied with CNC rings and finder scope bracket. It is not supplied with a dovetail or case.

The optics of this telescope are outstanding and as standard are gauranteed to be a minimum 0.95 strehl. The telescope is supplied with a test report. Occasionally exceptionally high strehl models become available. These are available at extra cost. Please contact us for details.

In brief the 130-1200 offers superb performance and long focal length in a manageable low weight, making it easy to transport and use with lighter mounts.
