About

The carbon-fibre Raptor version of Stellarvue's 130 mm f/7 apo triplet: a conventional crown front element, a very-low-dispersion second element and a Lanthanum third, each objective figured by hand in Auburn, California and rated at 0.97 Strehl or better on their Zygo interferometer. The carbon tube is fully baffled with a retracting carbon dew shield and black anodised fittings, and a Zygo test report and an American-made SKB waterproof case with polyethylene foam are included.
