Uniqueness

Four-Element Optical Design
The FF131 APO features a four-element, fully air-spaced apochromatic optical design. All four elements work together to deliver a flat imaging field without the need for an additional field flattener. One ED (extra-low dispersion) glass element is incorporated to effectively reduce chromatic aberration, resulting in improved color correction and image clarity.

44 mm Image Circle-Full-Frame Support
With a 44 mm image circle, the FF131 APO fully supports full-frame sensors and a wide range of imaging setups. It delivers sharp star fields with excellent edge-to-edge performance, ensuring consistent image quality across the entire frame.

Native Flat-Field Design
The FF131 APO features a native flat-field optical design, eliminating the need for an additional field flattener. No complex back focus calculations or spacing adjustments are required-simply attach your imaging setup and start capturing once focus is achieved.

Convenient Design

Coarse & amp; fine focus adjustment
Equipped with a rigid 3-inch rack-and-pinion focuser, the FF131 APO offers precise control with a 1:10 coarse & amp; fine focus adjustment mechanism. A built-in 360 Degree rotator at the rear allows for smooth and accurate camera angle adjustments.

Retractable Dew Shield
The FF131 APO features a retractable dew shield, reducing overall length for improved portability. Precision CNC machining and a high-quality painted finish, combined with an internal anti-reflection coating, help minimize stray light and enhance image contrast.

Quick-Release Mounting Rings
The mounting rings are detachable, allowing for quick and easy setup or teardown of the telescope.

Photography Extension Tube
The FF131 APO is designed for seamless integration with modern imaging systems, and includes a standard four-section photographic extension tube with a 2-inch filter thread. Rear adapters in both M48x0.75 and M54x0.75 formats are also included, making it easy to connect a wide range of cameras, filters, and astrophotography accessories for a clean, flexible setup right out of the box.
