Takahashi Epsilon E-130 Astrograph

Experience the pinnacle of astrophotography with the Takahashi Epsilon E-130 Astrograph. This cutting-edge astrograph is designed for exceptional performance, capturing the wonders of the night sky with unparalleled clarity and precision. With its proprietary optical design, the Epsilon series sets a new standard in the field of astroimaging.

Optical Excellence and Advanced Features

Featuring a hyperbolic, concave primary mirror and a 2-element ED corrector lens, the Epsilon E-130 Astrograph eliminates spherical aberration and coma, providing a superior image quality. The chromatic aberration is reduced by half compared to conventional Schmidt camera designs, ensuring sharp and crisp images even at large viewing angles. The new ε-130D model introduces a digital corrector, enhancing sharpness and reducing the spot size by a third, equivalent to the E-180's edge spot size, resulting in a 44 mm diameter circle. This offset secondary design ensures better illumination of the primary image.

Wide Field Capabilities and Performance

With a 5.9° field of view, the Epsilon E-130 Astrograph is perfect for imaging wide-field objects such as comets and extended nebulosity. Its f/3.3 speed and 430mm focal length significantly reduce exposure times, increase color saturation, and produce high-performance wide-field images. This astrograph is a game-changer for astrophotographers seeking to capture the vastness of the cosmos with exceptional clarity and detail.

• Wide Field of View: Capture expansive celestial objects with ease.
• Fast Aperture: Shorten exposure times and enhance color saturation.

Please note that the mount, tripod, tube holder, and finder are sold separately.
