Explore Scientific ED102-FCD100 f/7 Air-Spaced Triplet Refractor Carbon Fiber Telescope

DESCRIPTION Sharper Images, Lighter Load: Discover the ED102-FCD100 f/7 Advantage The Explore Scientific ED102-FCD100 f/7 Series Air-Spaced Triplet Refractor Telescope in Carbon Fiber has the advantages for astrophotographers and visual astronomers found in our metal-tube ED102 models, but with the advantage of making the instrument much lighter, and a lighter weight telescope performs better on any mount that it is used on. This telescope includes genuine HOYA FCD100 ED glass which is very similar in characteristics as OHARA’s FPL-53. Relying on technological innovation, Explore Scientific has successfully launched the mass production of high-performance optical glass at the apex of the FCD family. Combining it with optical glass of high refractive index allows us to achieve unprecedented advanced chromatic aberration correction. HOYA FCD100 is considered one of the premier ED glass types available. Having a true diffraction-limited optical design and sized to encourage spontaneous st
