🔭 TeleVue NP127is Imaging System Apochromat OTA

A legendary 127mm apochromatic refractor from TeleVue, designed by renowned optical engineer Al Nagler specifically as an "imaging system" — a telescope built from the ground up to deliver flawless, coma-free star images across a wide field for both visual use and serious astrophotography.

  • exceptional build quality

A Rare Combination Of Visual Excellence And Imaging Precision

TeleVue has built its reputation on producing some of the finest eyepieces and refractors in amateur astronomy, and the NP127is extends that legacy into a dedicated "imaging system" telescope. Unlike refractors optimised purely for visual use, the NP127is integrates field-flattening optics directly into its design, delivering a flat, coma-free field ideally suited to astronomy cameras — while still offering the razor-sharp, high-contrast visual performance TeleVue is famous for.

This dual competence makes the NP127is unusually versatile among premium apochromats: equally at home delivering breathtaking eyepiece views of star clusters and nebulae, or serving as the optical core of a serious deep-sky imaging setup.

🌌 What Can You See And Image With The NP127is?

✨ Nebulae

Wide, sharp fields ideal for large emission and reflection nebulae, both visually and photographically.

🌌 Galaxies

Excellent contrast for detecting subtle detail in brighter galaxies.

⭐ Star Clusters

Renowned TeleVue star quality across the entire field of view.

🌙 The Moon & Planets

Sharp, high-contrast views that reflect TeleVue's visual optics heritage.

💡 Why "Imaging System" Design Matters

Many refractors require a separate, carefully matched field flattener to achieve a flat field for imaging. The NP127is builds this correction directly into its optical design, simplifying the imaging train and ensuring the flattest, sharpest possible field without compromise, while retaining outstanding performance at the eyepiece.

🏆 TeleVue Optical Heritage

🏆 Designed by renowned optician Al Nagler
🔬 Premium apochromatic glass and coatings
📸 Integrated field-flattening imaging design
⭐ A favourite among discerning visual observers and imagers alike

⭐ A Dual-Purpose Instrument For Purists

Where many imaging-focused astrographs sacrifice some visual performance, the NP127is is deliberately engineered to excel at both, making it a favourite for astronomers who want one exceptional telescope for both eyepiece observing and serious astrophotography.

🎯 Perfect For

📸 Advanced Astrophotographers

Built-in field flattening for a simplified, high-quality imaging train.

⭐ Discerning Visual Observers

TeleVue's renowned sharpness and contrast at the eyepiece.

🏆 Collectors & Enthusiasts

A premium instrument representing decades of TeleVue optical expertise.

📸 Purpose-Built Imaging Performance

The integrated imaging-system design means the NP127is can be paired directly with an astronomy camera with minimal additional correction required, streamlining the path from optical tube to finished deep-sky image.

💡 Usage Tips For Best Results

  • Pair with a high-quality equatorial GoTo mount suited to its weight for the steadiest imaging results.
  • Allow the lens to reach ambient temperature before critical focusing.
  • Use TeleVue's own eyepieces where possible to fully realise the system's visual potential.
