130 F6 STARFIRE EDF APO REFRACTOR
At last - an easy to use amateur telescope that can produce exquisite
astrophotos with almost no effort and show excellent planetary images as
well.
- Short tube length and light weight
for easy portability
- Advanced optical design produces
superb color correction
- Fast optics for deep-sky observing
and astrophotography
- Field flattener available for 6x7cm photography
FEATURES OF THE OPTICS
- Very high corrections of spherical and chromatic aberrations
- Visual and photographic focus is identical, eliminating the
need for light-absorbing filters
- Clear, colorfree glass types result in brighter, more contrasty
images
- Stunning lunar/planetary and deep-sky views
- Ideal for 35mm and medium-format deep-sky
astrophotography
- High-resolution optics are a good match for fine-grained
Technical Pan emulsions.

OPTION FOR THE TUBE ASSEMBLY
Company Seven's ATA Transport/Shipping Case: the case provided by Astro-Physics with each optical tube assembly is a reasonable balance of economy and performance for routine storage of a telescope in a temperature and humidity controlled environment. However, if you plan for long term storage, or if you intend to ship the telescope by commercial carrier or transport it as check in baggage on an airliner (observing oversize and overweight restrictions) then your peace of mind and telescope will both be better served with a custom engineered solution - an ATA case by Company Seven.
