Stellarvue SVA130 EDT Apochromatic Refractor Optical Tube

This is the latest version of Stellarvue's 130-mm, apo-triplet refractor. This model uses a lens design that provides excellent correction for both visual use and imaging (with a field flattener). The hand-figured objective uses a super low-dispersion center element and a Lanthanum rear element. As with all SVX optics, these objectives are hand-figured in the USA.
