Tele Vue NP127fli Imaging Astrograph
Manufacturer Part # NPF-5055
This is an imaging system only and works with Fingerlakes
Tele Vue Optics and Finger Lakes Instrumentation have teamed together to create a "turn-key," wide-field imaging system dedicated to the astro-imager. The flat-field, fast focal ratio, and short focal length of the NP127fli are a perfect match for the ProLine PL16803 camera. Together they produce over a 4° field of beautifully sharp stars!
The NP127fli has been designed to ideally position the Atlas focuser near the center of its travel. Tele Vue's "Large Field Corrector" lens sits within the Atlas and is properly located to accommodate the combined path length of FLI's CenterLine filter wheel and ProLine cameras. All connections use FLI's Zero Tilt Adapter system. Additionally, Tele Vue's unique image plane tilt correction is incorporated into the new rear section of the NP127fli. In the final stage of the build process at Tele Vue, each scope is set-up so that the imaging train will be as close to perfectly adjusted as possible. User adjustability is built-in to allow for any possible differences between a customer's existing pieces of equipment.
- Custom fitted case fits TV-NP127fli only.
- Supports telescope by the tube, taking pressure off the front cell and focuser pinion.
- Case is balanced when scope is inside.

- Approximate maximum exterior dimensions: 40 x 10¾ x 9-inches (102 x 27 x 23-cm).
- Approximate empty weight: 12.75-lb (5.8-kg).
