**Updated*** TMB 130ss - Feather Touch/Riccardi M82)

Up for sale is my beloved TMB 130ss triplet refractor. If you are reading this on Astromart, you already know the legendary pedigree of this Thomas Back-designed optics package. It has been a prized centerpiece of my setup, delivering the razor-sharp contrast, pinpoint stars, and absolute color purity that these scopes are world-famous for. I am parting with it reluctantly, and only to fund another direction in my astronomy journey. The scope is in great condition, with pristine glass and only typical light cosmetic wear/paint chip on the OTA from normal mounting.  This is a complete, premium imaging or visual package that saves you the headache of hunting down rare adapters and high-end mechanical upgrades.

What is included in the TMB Scope Package:

• TMB 130ss OTA: True-color, world-class 130mm f/7 triplet optics.
• Feather Touch FT-3545A: Upgraded 3.5" dual-speed rotating focuser. Rock-solid, zero flexure, and smooth as silk.
• Massimo Riccardi M82 Reducer: The gold standard 0.75x large format reducer for flat-field imaging.
• Complete Machined Hardware Set: Original TMB tube rings, male mounting dovetail plate, Starlight instruments R35 riser, and the EC35-505CR end cap with the required end cap adapters.
