For the dedicated visual observer or astrophotographer seeking a top-of-the-line instrument, the Orion EON 130mm Triplet ED Apochromatic Refractor should be on your short list of candidates. This exquisite telescope features premium optical performance and a high-end fit and finish. From front to back, this is truly an awe-inspiring refractor. At the front end, you'll find a three-element, air-spaced lens assembly of 130mm (5.1 inch) aperture, with one element of FPL-51 ED glass for superb color correction and sharpness. The EON 130mm Triplet is a wonderfully versatile telescope for both deep-sky and solar system imaging or stargazing since it has plenty of image scale for smaller targets and a moderately fast f/7.0 focal ratio. All air-to-glass lens surfaces bear anti-reflection multi-coatings for superior light transmission. Contrast is equally rich thanks to a retractable glare-blocking dew shield, blackened lens edges and five internal knife-edge baffles that prevent off-axis reflections of incoming light. At the back end of the EON 130mm Triplet ED, you'll find a heavy-duty, 3 inch, dual-speed, rotatable Crayford focuser with precise 11:1 fine-focus control. The big 3 inch drawtube sports an engraved millimeter scale to aid in focus point repeatability. The EON 130mm Triplet comes with two substantial, split-clamp tube rings and a hard case with custom foam interior. The tube rings feature multiple 1/4 inch-20 threaded sockets for attachment of mounting plates or other accessories.

extremely pleased with it
I've been using this refractor for astrophotography for almost a year now, extremely pleased with it! Color is great, nice finish to it, it's been problem free for me so far. I ended up replacing the focuser with a moonlite so I could automate my focusing routine, but the stock focuser works just fine and was very smooth. For those doing AP, a field flattener is needed. Amazing triplet, a I saw a recent image comparison between the 130mm EON and a Takahashi TOA-130mm where folks voted on which they thought was the Tak and which was the Orion, results were about 50/50, impressive for a scope that costs less than half of the Tak!

Top of line piece of equipment
This telescope has surpassed all of my expectations on the first night. I have not even had clear skies to REALLY test it. I mainly do astrophotography, and this scope is a performer.If you do the research..this scope is just as good as one that cost twice the money. Understanding that it does not have fpl53 glass keeps price down. But the quality is still there. Warning...this is a monster of a scope. You'll need the mount to put it on.
