SKU: F9381C-W9161B-W9163B-
US$

The SV550 APO triplet refractor is a compact refractor with 122mm aperture, f/7 focal ratio and 854mm focal length, a great travel telescope for astrophotography and observation. It is an absolutely upgraded version of the SV550 80mm. This refractor has a higher limiting magnitude, can gather more light, and provide clearer and more detailed images. It is very suitable for deep sky photography and observation, especially for galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, and even some fainter deep sky objects.

Superior Performance

1. The APO triplet refractor features a 122mm aperture and 854mm focal length,which is an absolutely upgraded version of the SV550 80mm. The refractor gathers more light, and offers more clear and detailed images, suitable for deep sky photography and observation, for galaxies, nebulae, star clusters and even some fainter deep sky objects, due to the higher limiting magnitude. 

2. The gear ratio of the dual speed 2.5-inch toothed focuser is 1: 10, which makes it easy to achieve accurate focus. The dual speed focuser can provide two focusing speeds by using a set of co-axial knobs, for fast focusing and fine focusing.

3. The length of the dovetail is  as high as 300mm, longer than the length of most dovetails. It can maintain the balance to the greatest extent, and it will be more convenient in the adjustment process.

4. The entire tube rings have 26 screw holes + a mounting screw handle. Such tube rings with so many screw holes can be compatible with more equipment installations, like Smart WIFI device, guide scope, astronomy camera etc., meeting various needs of installations.

FPL-51 Triplet Apochromatic Lens Structure

SVBONY SV550 APO Refractor Telescope

  • FPL51 Triplet > FPL53 Doublet -- Just For Better Clarity

The SV550 122mm adopts a FPL-51 triplet apochromatic lens structure which contains one piece of ED glass. The triplet lens provides better correction of aberration and significantly reduces chromatic aberration and enhance the clarity and sharpness.

Amazing Telescope

The SV550 122mm telescope is a game changer. I cannot fault the build quality and the image quality - value for money is second to none. As for the SVbony team - they were amazing in responding promptly to my questions pre-purchase and they have been just as good post-purchase when I needed to setup advice. Speedy delivery meant I didn't have to wait long to try out my new 'toy'. I highly recommend this telescope and I highly recommend SVbony. I look forward to SVbony bringing more telescopes to us in the future.

A great all-around telescope

I have been doing astrophotography for a little less than two years. I started out with an 8 inch Schmidt Cassegrain style telescope (SCT) but I wanted a telescope with a wider field of view. I decided to order the SV550 80 mm refractor telescope from Svbony and loved it. It was an inexpensive but high quality telescope. With it I was finally able to image the complete circle of the moon, the Andromeda galaxy and a number of large nebulae. Plus the quality of the pictures was much improved over my previous telescope. So when SVBONY came out with the SV550 122 mm telescope and I saw some video reviews, I decided to order one to replace the 8 inch SCT reflector. I couldn't be happier with a telescope. It is a little on the heavy side (14 lb/6.4 kg vs 12 lb/5.4 kg for the SCT) but it's not too much for a senior citizen like me to handle. It has a nice long dew shield that extends and retracts smoothly. I use the manual focuser with a Bahtinov mask as a focus aid. It dials in smoothly and maintains focus once set. With the 1.0x field flattener, the stars are sharp and round points of light all across the field of view. In comparison with the 8" SCT with a 0.63x focal reducer, the quality of the images has improved greatly. In comparison with the SV550 80 mm telescope, it has over twice the light-gathering capability, so I am able to get more detail in my images during a single night of photography. The only down-side is that it is pretty long, but that is to be expected with a re
