The Sky Rover 130 mm F/7 GPS is a premium apochromatic refractor designed for users who want strong optical performance together with a more rigid and refined mechanical platform. With its 130 mm aperture, 910 mm focal length, and triplet optical design, it is well suited to both visual observing and serious astrophotography.
The optical system uses an air-spaced triplet apochromatic design with a Super ED glass element. Sky Rover also highlights the use of a special steel objective cell together with improved glass calibration and mounting methods to enhance optical stability and image quality.
One of the major changes in this version is the removal of the older rear rotating mechanism from the optical tube itself. The tube now connects directly to the focuser for improved mechanical axis stability, while a new v2 field rotator is integrated at the rear of the focuser tube for smoother framing adjustments.
To support future high-performance accessories, Sky Rover has moved the flange plate forward, allowing focal plane adjustments without removing the dew shield. The flange plate uses a classic three-screw adjustment system and is factory calibrated, so user adjustment should only be needed in special cases.
The telescope is supplied with a 450 mm wide dovetail plate compatible with Losmandy standards. It includes numerous mounting holes and T-slots, making it easier to balance the telescope and attach accessories for more advanced observing or imaging setups.
