SharpStar 13028HNT

Ultra-Fast 130mm Hyperbolic Newtonian Reflector

SharpStar continues its legacy of innovation with the introduction of the 13028HNT, a 130mm hyperbolic Newtonian reflective telescope boasting an ultra-fast focal ratio of f/2.8. This latest model follows the success of the groundbreaking 15028HNT and offers a compact design with a slightly smaller aperture, making it an ideal choice for astrophotographers seeking high performance in a portable package.

Key Features:

• Hyperbolic Primary Mirror: The 13028HNT features a precision-engineered hyperbolic primary mirror that delivers round, sharp stars across the full-frame, supporting a 44mm image circle.
• Ultra-Fast f/2.8 Focal Ratio: Achieve the same image quality as f/4 telescopes while reducing exposure time by nearly half, perfect for capturing deep-sky objects with speed and clarity.
• High-Quality Optics: The primary mirror is made from Pyrex-alike PZ33 glass with a dielectric multilayer coating, offering up to 97% reflectivity. The secondary mirror's 65mm minor axis ensures full-frame illumination.
• Enhanced Corrector Lens: The corrector lens system includes a two-refractive-lens set, one of which is ED glass, improving aberration correction while simplifying the optical system.
• Lightweight Carbon Fiber Tube: The telescope tube is constructed entirely of high-end carbon fiber, reducing weight and enhancing durability. CNC-machined metal components and lightweight tube rings add to its refined design.
• Precision Focuser: Equipped with a 2.5" rack-and-pinion focuser featuring coarse and fine adjustment knobs, the 13028HNT allows for precise focusing. It includes an M63 thread, which can be adapted to M48×0.75 with the included ring.
• Standard 55mm Back-Focus: The user-friendly back-focus is standardized at 55mm, making it accessible for both newcomers and experienced astrophotographers.
• Versatile Mounting: The package includes a versatile handle and a Vixen-style dovetail plate, allowing easy attachment to various equatorial mounts and accessories.
