Takahashi Epsilon 130 Telescope

This is a classic Takahashi Epsilon 130 Hyperbolic Astrograph from the 1980’s. It was quite revolutionary at that time and is still a very desirable telescope for astrophotography. Although this one was designed for film cameras it is quite easy to use it with a modern DSLR since the image plane for the DLSR is actual smaller than the 35mm frame the design supports. It is compared with a current model hyperbolic astrograph of nearly identical specifications.
