Additional Info
The Stellarvue SV130 EDT telescope is a 5.11" apochromatic refractor operating at F-7, the perfect visual focal ratio. This telescope delivers true apochromatic performance with more light collecting power than the smaller telescopes in our line. This telescope has excellent color correction and contrast with the Ohara FPL-51 in a hand-figured, apo triplet design. The photographic performance is excellent for APS or smaller chips when combined with our SFF7-21 field flattener.
Fully multicoated apochromatic triplet objective: This telescope provides high contrast, a perfect star test, and excellent color correction with its 130mm f-7 apochromatic triplet objective. The lenses are hand figured by a master optician to a high Strehl ratio. Several layers of extreme broadband coatings are used on all six of the lens surfaces. This further enhances the contrast of the image: the stars appear vivid and bright against a dark black background. These coatings transmit light above and below the visual spectrum, making them well suited for ccd imaging.
Stardust white aluminum tube and dew shield: The aluminum tube and dew shield is painted in a lustrous and beautiful stardust white finish. This white finish will stand out against the black anodized aluminum fittings giving this telescope a high-end, classy look. The dew shield can either be extended or retracted. Extension reduces dewing at night can cut out the light from those blaring street lamps. The dew shield also serves as a lens shade during the day. Retraction will reduce the length of your telescope tube for convenient storage.
Internal tube treatment: The inside of the tube assembly is baffled and painted "ultra flat black" to cut down on excess reflection.
3" Stellarvue dual speed focuser: The 3" focuser with more than 112 mm of travel. This focuser is perfect for visual use and imaging. An ultra-smooth coarse/fine focus knobs (10:1 Ratio) and internal brake system.
Aluminum hinged rings: The SV130 comes with two American made, cnc machined, hinged, aluminum mounting rings. Each ring has five screws top and bottom. Threaded holes are 1/4-20. There is one center hole, two holes spaced 1.5" apart and two holes spaced 60 mm apart. Use the optional TP-10 rail for telescope mounts using the Vixen style rail or use the optional TP6 for mounts that use the larger Losmandy style rail.
C130-7 Case: A heavy duty, thickly padded storage and travel case is included. The case measures 10" X 10" X 39" and has a carrying handle and strap.
What else do you need? In addition to the supplied accessories, you will need a star diagonal or erecting prism, eyepiece(s) and amount, and a reflex or optical finder scope
Light gathering and magnification power: The purpose of a telescope is to gather light and magnify the apparent size of the object being viewed. A 130 mm refractor gathers 345 times the amount of light of the naked eye. This will reveal faint objects in space. Magnification power (the increase in relative size of the object being viewed) is dependant upon the eyepiece being used. Different eyepieces provide different magnification powers. Since this telescope uses a highly accurate, hand figured objective lens and is triple tested in the USA, these telescopes are free of coma and astigmatism seen in many import telescopes. This provides sharper details when viewing at higher powers. Although Dawes limit states maximum power for telescopes under good conditions is about 307 power for a 130 mm telescope, you can exceed this power on a steady night. This is a true apo triplet capable of high power, when conditions permit. Check the Recommended Accessories section to make the best choice for eyepieces.
Two year warranty and Stellarvue Service: Stellarvue telescopes and accessories are covered by a two year warranty. But it does not stop there. Since we are a telescope maker, we can repair your telescope for a nominal fee years after it goes out of warranty, should you accidentally drop it on concrete or otherwise damage it. Buy a Stellarvue Telescope with confidence. Our customer care is legendary.
