Meade 130mm ED TRIPLET APO f/7 Telescope brings you astonishing views of the universe - without distortion or loss of true color. Made with astrophotography in mind, the Meade ED Triplet APO Telescope is a triple-element apochromatic refractor with lenses made of advanced FK61 extra-low dispersion glass. Expert observers will be delighted by the total absence of color fringing and the textbook-perfect pinpoint star images that this Meade Telescope delivers. Even beginners will notice the breathtaking high contrast and resolution of a Meade Triplet APO Telescope. APO telescopes like this one are ideal for crisp, wide-field observation and imaging, and have provided some of the most beautiful astrophotography images ever made from Earth. This telescope represents years of development by Meade, to create a triple objective lens made from the highest quality ED (extra-low dispersion) glass that brings you the truest colors possible. The Meade ED APO Triplet 130mm Telescope is virtually free of chromatic aberration (color fringing) - it will outperform the most expensive semi-APOs at a fraction of the cost.

The Meade 130mm ED Triplet APO Optical Tube includes 3-Element Fully Multi-Coated Apochromatic Objective Lenses with advanced FK61 extra-low dispersion glass, 10:1 dual speed Crayford Focusers, Sliding Dew Shield, 2" Series 5000 Enhanced 99% Reflectivity Slip-fit Diagonal, Aluminum Cradle Rings with mounting dovetail and Hard Case.

Features of Meade 0507-00-05 Triplet ED Telescope 130mm:

• FAST FOCAL RATIO: the f/7 focal ratio of this scope is ideal for fast wide field astrophotography.
• PREMIUM ED GLASS: Meade uses the finest Japanese FCD1 ED (Extremely Low Dispersion) glass. This glass is created to achieve a
• very small change in refractive index with different wavelengths of light. This makes it the perfect choice for a fast, high performance optical design like the ED Triplet APOs.
• FULLY MULTICOATED LENSES: Meade broadband multicoated lenses ensure maximum light transmission.
• TRUE ED APOCHROMATIC TRIPLET: A true triplet optical design guarantees the textbook color correction you expect from a premium APO.
• FULLY EXTENDABLE DEW SHIELD/SUN SHADE: An essential accessory built-in to the design for your convenience
