    I just purchased a new AM-5 mount along with an FF-130mm APO I am a little concerned that even w/o additional accessories the FF130 might exceed the un-counterbalanced max weight limit for the AM-5

    can you please confirm or otherwise, and if a counterbalance weight is required can you:
    1) suggest a suitable weight < 5kg
    2) detail the process for properly counterbalancing the telescope on the mount?

    thanks!

    great products!

      Thank you for your support. It is recommended that you check whether you need to add a counterweight bar according to the weight of the equipment. And we have also uploaded a new manual on the new website. It is recommended that you go and check it out, I hope it can help you.

    I am trying to setup the FF130 with the ZWO EAF in TheSkyX. To characterize the autofocuer setup I need to know the micron size of the focuser with the FF130. Do you know what the micron size is, or how many mm the focuser draw tube moves per full revolution?

    Just (pre-) ordered the FF130 from my local dealer 🙂

    Two questions:
    1) Is a hard case provided with the standard delivery?
    2) What is the estimated delivery time for the FF130?

    Thank you for a quick feedback!

    Cheers
    W.

    I am also interested in visual observation. How is the performance? Can it be used with 2″ diagonal and eyepieces or isn’t there enough inward travel on the focuser to reach focus?

      Thank you for your inquiry. Rest assured, it can achieve proper focus and can be used normally.
