This new APO guarantees a chromatic correction at the highest levels thanks to a precise and maniacal construction and numerous controls, both in the production phase and in the sales phase; the image is not affected by any chromatic aberration and remains very clear and well contrasted.
APOCHROMATIC EXTRA-LOW DISPERSION
This apochromatic refractor is able to achieve very high levels of chromatic correction thanks to the combination of two optical glasses, the first is an Ohara (Japan) FCD1-B element while the second is a Lanthanum element, this combination produces a product free from chromatic error, managing to achieve much better performance than a corresponding doublet refractor.
ADVANTAGES
- Opening 102 mm
- Focal length 714mm
- 2-element lens with Ohara (Japan) FCD1-B and one Lanthanum element for a perfect color image!
- Internal deflectors for greater contrast and less reflection
- 2.5" Dual Speed R&P Focuser with Improved Bearing - Supports up to 4kg without any issues
- The focuser can be motorized without any problems
- Screw connection via M63x1 female thread - 2" and 1.25" connection
- Telescope also excellent for observation with sharp and high contrast images

- Each refractor is visually and mechanically inspected and tested before shipment.
DOUBLE FOCAL
It is possible to reduce the focal length of the 102 APO ED with its dedicated 0.8x reducer that you can find among the recommended products, this allows you to reduce the focal length to 570mm and have a ratio equal to F/5.6
