Hand crafted optics: The 130mm triplet APO optics are hand finished at the final stages of production and repeatedly tested until signed off by the optician in charge. Each lens cell has a unique serial number, guaranteeing it's originality as a genuine limited edition Altair Astro optic. A laser interferogram image in 532nm green light with corresponding lens serial number, is available for an additional £85 at the time of ordering. We need to know in advance if you need a test report.

 

• 130mm F7 multi coated objective lens FPL51 ED Optics using top quality ED glass from Ohara Japan.
• Highest practical magnification 250x, light grasp of 67% more than a 102mm (4") refractor.
• OTA weight with rings 8kg (without the optional finder).
• 1:10 ratio dual speed focuser with direct fit for optional 1.0x field flattener and 3x clamp compression ring for 2" accessories
• 2" to 1.25" eyepiece adapter
• Tube rings with standard M6 30mm hole pattern (enabling the telescope to be balanced more easily for imaging, or dual-mounted as a guide scope).
• Standard Vixen-format dovetail bar included, though we recommend changing to the Altair TMS Losmandy-format tube rings.
• FREE Protective case with foam padding included (note the case is designed to protect the telescope during shipping and is therefore offered as "free". We cannot provide replacement cases if marked or damaged, however the telescope itself is of course fully insured against any damage in transit).

• We recommend the optional Altair Astro 60mm finder scope (shown in the image) or Altair MiniGuider 60 for autoguiding with this telescope. If you want to start observing and try imaging later, you can order the finder first, and the autoguider adapter later on to convert your finder into a Miniguider. (See associated products below). Please note that this telescope does not come with a finder shoe bracket as in the picture, however there are two holes on the focuser are compatible with most finder scopes.

• Optional 3" Field flattener for astro-imaging: A optional, dedicated large format field flattener is available separately with this telescope package for use with CCD imaging chips. The large format 3" field flattener screws directly to the rear of the focuser (the 2" push-fit adapter can be removed) to reduce flex in the imaging train with threaded-only connections, resulting in tighter star images, and sharper images. A conical rear adapter with an M48 rear thread is included, and the correct spacing for Nikon or Canon EOS DSLR cameras can be obtained with the special Altair Astro low profile Canon DLSR adapter, or the standard Skywatcher Nikon M48 DSLR adapter. If you have a CCD camera, our variable M48 spacers can be used to get the right distance to the CDD chip. (See associated products below for the Altair Planostar 3" field flattener).
