SV130EDT-R Black Friday Sale $2495

BLACK FRIDAY/CYBER MONDAY LIMITED SPECIAL OFFER: This is a very short run of our former 130 mm f-7 apo triplet EDT refractors. We have mounted the last of these objectives in our custom carbon fiber tubes and dewshields. To reduce cost, we used carbon fiber tubes that have very minor cosmetic blemishes. These are new tubes but may have some carbon fiber pattern inconsistencies or minor marks in one location or another. These tubes are otherwise perfect, we just did not want to use them on our world class SVX130T refractors.

Each of these telescopes will come with a pair of lightweight, cast aluminum mounting rings and our TP-010 Vixen-style rail. There is no case.

Quantities are limited!

Availability:
We are completing only eight of these telescopes. They will be available for purchase on Black Friday, November 28st. The sale will be discontinued when we exhaust the supply.

Objective Lens:
Air-spaced 130 mm, 910 mm focal length (f-7) fully multi-coated apochromatic triplet. The front lens is a durable, conventional glass, the second is an extra-low dispersion (ED) element and the third is a Lanthanum element. Read more information on glass types here. These commercial-quality optics are good and test at about .95 Strehl or higher. They will work well as visual telescopes or as an imaging telescope when combined with either our SFFX-3 field flattener or SFFRX-130140 reducer flattener. These objectives were outsourced so they come without test reports.
