Explore Scientific ED APO 102mm f/7 FCD-100 CF HEX Refractor Achromatic Magnification 20 up to 200 x

Highly corrected 102 mm triplet apochromat (three-lens) with carbon tube and 2.5'' HEXAFOC precision eyepiece tube.

Apochromates are the measure of all things in the small and medium opening range: The combination of good portability, very high image contrast and sharpness with the excellent possibilities offered by these devices for astrophotography cannot be surpassed here.
With the Explore Scientific FCD-100 CF Hex, this development has reached another peak - the color purity of this device sets high standards. The optic design reaches a polystirene thickness of 0.97 - a value that stands for highest correction.

This excellent Apochromat is a versatile device: The fast f/7 aperture ratio enables short exposure times in astrophotography, the high image sharpness and the excellent contrast make overview observations such as those of the North American level or the Andromeda galaxy as possible as well as sharp planetary observations possible. The device is extremely light and compact - the protection cap can be inserted in a space-saving way. State-of-the-art glasses and the most careful production have produced telescopes that offer pure observation fun at the highest level. This telescope is therefore not only fully recommended as a travel telescope, but also for quick observation in between, as well as for astrophotography. The high-quality 2.5'' HEXAFOC eyepiece extension with 1:10 reduction rounds off the image of this all-round device - due to the large free diameter of 65 mm, there is no vignetting by the eyepiece extension even with astrophotography with larger chips, as can be the case with smaller diameters.
