Description

Tecnosky 102 mm F11 Achromatic Refractor - Optical Tube

Tecnosky has given the classical achromat a modern design which fully exploits the optical possibilities of a quality lens. The result is powerful telescope for many fields of application:

♦ Observation of moon and planets with very good resolution and contrast.
♦ Photography of objects of our solar system.
♦ With suitable solar filters, the TS 102 mm f/11 refractor is a very fine solar telescope.
♦ Great telescope for deep-sky observation. You can also use 2" accessories. With the 2" eyepiece, the refractor turns into a wide-field telescope with 2.3° field of view of the sky, that is almost 5 times as large as the full moon.

The lenses come from Ohara (Japan) and the multicoated objective is built into a high-quality, temperature-compensated cell. Due to optics and mechanics, this refractor stands above simple mass products and is a true alternative to many ED refractors.

Besides the 2" Crayford focuser, the retractable dewcap is an important feature. With this, the refractor becomes more transportable and shorter than a 102 mm f/10 refractor with fixed dewcap. When the fixed dewcap is extended, it offers optimum protection against stray light and dew.
