Be captivated by the celestial wonders with the Explore Scientific 102mm f/7 Classic White "Essential Series" Air-Spaced Triplet ED Apochromatic Refractor Telescope. This high-performance instrument is specifically designed for wide field observing and astrophotography, delivering research-level image quality that will satisfy the most discerning stargazers and photographers.
This telescope boasts a true three-element apochromatic design, ensuring superior sharpness and color correction. The use of ED (Extra-low Dispersion) FCD1 (Dense Fluor Crown) glass, developed and manufactured by Hoya Optical of Japan, is a testament to Explore Scientific's commitment to providing top-tier optics. This high-quality glass material significantly reduces chromatic aberration, resulting in images that are crisp, clear, and full of detail.
The Explore Scientific 102mm f/7 Classic White "Essential Series" Air-Spaced Triplet ED Apochromatic Refractor Telescope also features a deluxe two-speed Crayford-style precision focuser. This advanced focuser allows for fine adjustments, ensuring that you can achieve and maintain perfect focus for your observations or photography sessions.
To further enhance your viewing experience, this telescope is equipped with EMD (Enhanced Multi-layer Deposition) Coatings. These proprietary coatings are applied to all Explore Scientific lenses in multiple layers, effectively eliminating light scatter and maintaining high image contrast. The optical tube also includes multiple baffles that mask and deflect unwanted stray light, further enhancing contrast and image quality.
Lightweight yet rugged, this telescope is designed for portability without compromising on performance. Whether you're a seasoned astronomer or a budding astrophotographer, the Explore Scientific 102mm f/7 Classic White "Essential Series" Air-Spaced Triplet ED Apochromatic Refractor Telescope is a reliable tool that will help you explore the universe in stunning detail.
Explore Scientific ES- ED10207-01 Features
- The Explore ED102 Essential Edition telescope comes with a white aluminum tube with black accents.
- Explore Scientific Air-Spaced Apochromatic Triplets have true APO optic and are diffraction limited at .25PV or better.
- Genuine ED glass from Hoya Japan is used on all ED APO Triplets at Explore, for superb quality and light throughput.
- Enhanced Multi-Layer Coatings (EMD) are deposited on optical elements to boost contrast and eliminate light scatter; and contrast is further enhanced with the installation of matte black knife-edge baffles in the optical tube assembly.
- While refractors seldom require additional collimation after initial factory adjustment, the lens cell design allows for consumer collimation. Sending your ED102 Triplet off to the factory is always an option, but is not required.
- 102mm models come with a heavy-duty 2" dual-speed rotatable focuser, including 2 draw tube extensions.
- To attach your Explore Scientific Air-Spaced Triplet telescope to a variety of mounts, a "Vixen-style" dovetail is included. The "Vixen-style" plate fits mounts made by Explore, Meade, Celestron, Vixen & others.
