🔭 TS Optics CF-APO 130 FPL53 Triplet Apochromat OTA

A serious 130mm carbon-fibre apochromatic triplet refractor built for astrophotographers who want large-aperture, colour-perfect optics without the bulk and weight of glass or metal tube construction. The CF-APO 130 pairs premium FPL53 glass with a rigid carbon tube for exceptional imaging performance across a wide range of deep-sky targets.

Large-Aperture Apochromatic Performance For Serious Imaging

The CF-APO 130 steps beyond typical compact astrographs by offering a genuine 130mm triplet apochromatic aperture, built around premium FPL53 extra-low dispersion glass. This combination controls chromatic aberration and delivers pinpoint stars across a well-corrected field, even at the demanding pixel scales of modern astronomy cameras.

The carbon-fibre tube keeps weight manageable for a telescope of this aperture while also reducing focus shift caused by temperature changes during a long imaging session — an important practical advantage for serious deep-sky astrophotography.

🌌 What Can You Image With The CF-APO 130?

🌌 Galaxies

The larger aperture resolves finer detail in spiral arms and dust lanes than smaller refractors.

✨ Nebulae

Rich colour and structure across both large and smaller emission and reflection nebulae.

⭐ Star Clusters

Crisp, tightly resolved stars across the full imaging field.

💡 Why Triplet Apochromatic Design And Aperture Both Matter

A triplet lens design, especially one built around FPL53 glass, controls chromatic aberration far more effectively than simpler doublet refractors, particularly at fast focal ratios. Combined with the larger 130mm aperture, this results in both excellent colour correction and a genuine increase in light-gathering power compared with smaller apochromats.

🧵 Carbon-Fibre Construction Benefits

🧵 Reduced weight compared with equivalent metal tubes

🌡️ Better thermal stability during long imaging sessions

📸 Less focus drift as temperatures change overnight

🔧 Robust construction suited to frequent transport

⭐ A Genuine High-End Astrograph

Where entry-level and mid-range astrographs make compromises on aperture or glass quality to hit a price point, the CF-APO 130 is built for imagers who want to move into larger, more capable apochromatic optics without stepping up to reflector-based astrographs.

🎯 Perfect For

📸 Experienced Astrophotographers

A significant step up in aperture and optical quality.

⭐ Imagers Seeking Premium Glass

FPL53 triplet optics for excellent colour correction.

🌌 Deep-Sky Specialists

Enough aperture and correction for demanding, detailed imaging projects.

📸 A Dedicated Imaging Instrument

The CF-APO 130 is sold as an optical tube assembly, intended for use with a suitably capable equatorial GoTo mount and an astronomy camera or modified DSLR/mirrorless camera, forming the optical heart of a serious deep-sky imaging setup.

💡 Imaging Tips For Best Results

Pair with a mount rated well above the tube's weight for the steadiest tracking.
Use a suitable field flattener/reducer for the flattest possible field with full-frame cameras.
Allow the tube to reach ambient temperature before critical focusing.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

❓ Does this include a mount?

No, it is sold as an optical tube assembly for use on a suitable equatorial GoTo mount.

❓ Do I need a field flattener?

Yes, a matching flattener/reducer is recommended for the flattest field with large sensors.

❓ Is carbon fibre worth the extra cost?

Yes, it reduces weight and minimises focus shift from temperature changes during long imaging sessions.
