Optical tube with covers for airline travel. Optical Tube Assembly only (mount, tripod, tube holder and finder sold separately). Telescope length, 724 mm (28.5) with dew shield fully retracted 864 mm (34.0) with dew shield fully extended. Last but not least, this focuser enables it to accept some of the specific accessories of the TOA-150, such as the 645-RD reducer or the 67-FL flattener which offers an incredible image circle of 88mm diameter (60% not vignetted). It allows more rigid imaging assemblies in particular with CCD cameras of big size, without generating mechanical stresses.

Thanks to this configuration, the F version is resolutely turned towards imaging. A camera angle adjuster is delivered, included in the focuser. The balancing counterweight cradle and the removable extension tube for focuser are not necessary on the F version because the rack-and-pinion focuser, alike FSQ, is much more massive (102mm of diameter). Ample back focus, over 200mm from the rear cell, has been designed in to permit the user to use a variety of CCD cameras, color filter wheels and electronic focusers or film cameras. The f/7.7 focal ratio with a 1000mm focal length is long enough, using the LE-ED 2.8mm Takahashi ocular, for high magnification observations of the Moon and planets and yet will produce a 2.5° field at 20x when used with the Takahashi flat field LE-50 2 “ ocular. The TOA-130 is perfect for visual, CCD and photo imaging.
#130MM REFRACTOR TELESCOPE SERIES#
Meade Series 6000 130mm ED Triplet Apo Refractor Telescope OTA 0507. The high order of color correction of the Ortho-Apochromat Series produces images with saturated color and thanks to the numerous knife-edged baffles, an image with amazing contrast. Your use of Astronom圜s services is subject to these revised terms.


This instrument is offered with the 4" focuser and built –in camera angle adjuster. This 21st century innovation employs a newly designed triplet using special elements to produce the highest order of color correction, hence the name Ortho-Apochromat and is packaged in a short 32” tube with the lens shade retracted. This Takahashi triplet TOA-130 is the first of the Ortho-Apochromat Series. Spotting Scopes, Binoculars & Monoculars.
