The APM - LZOS 3-lenser SuperED, presented in a new special package, features a 130 mm aperture combined with a 1200 mm focal length. This model is distinguished by its 3.7" APM focuser, which provides 360° rotation, ensuring a versatile and user-friendly experience.

The 130 mm APM - LZOS 3-lenser SuperED in the new inexpensive special package with 3.7" APM focuser.

Mirroring the performance of the CNC-LW II model, this telescope delivers high magnifications with moderate eyepiece focal lengths, making it ideal for various observational needs. The longer focal length system not only facilitates quicker cooling but also enhances chromatic correction, resulting in superior contrast. Whether observing the moon, Jupiter, or Saturn, users can expect a cinematic viewing experience. With a 130 mm aperture, this refractor boasts a 70% increase in light-gathering capability compared to 100 mm optics and a 30% improvement in resolution.
