Description
The Explore Scientific ED102 Essential Series Air-Spaced Triplet APO Refractor Telescope is a true apochromatic refractor, delivering stunning views of celestial wonders. Observe the Moon’s sharply defined craters, Jupiter’s structured cloud belts, and the vibrant blue-white stars of the Orion Nebula set against its intricate, misty backdrop. Ideal for both visual observation and serious deep-sky astrophotography, the ED102 is a gateway to uncovering the universe’s hidden treasures.
Balancing portability with performance, this high-quality telescope features diffraction-limited optics and an aperture perfect for lunar, planetary, and deep-sky viewing. Its air-spaced triplet design virtually eliminates chromatic aberration, producing bright, high-contrast images. This optical excellence is achieved using HOYA FCD1 extra-low dispersion (ED) glass and proprietary EMD enhanced multi-layer coatings.
The telescope includes two extension tubes for the 2" rack-and-pinion focuser and comes equipped with the Explore Scientific 2N1 Finder Scope Base (finder scope not included), making it a versatile and reliable instrument for your stargazing adventures.
