TeleVue 102 OTA

Tele Vue-102 Optical Tube Assembly Only with Hard Case.

At Tele Vue, we always try to provide good value in addition to great optical performance. With the Tele Vue-102 we offer the amateur a simpler, less expensive 4" refractor which retains Tele Vue's core values: outstanding optical performance and superb mechanical quality.

The new Tele Vue-102 is a 4-inch, 2-element f/8.6 APO air-spaced doublet, similar to the appearance to the 4-element f/5.4 Tele Vue-101, but 5 inches longer. The Tele Vue-102 achieves similar diffraction-limited, high power APO viewing as its 4" sibling, along with a wide 3 degree maximum visual field (compared to 4.9 degrees for the Tele Vue-101). A dedicated 0.8x reducer/flattener is available to permit great astrophotography of star fields at f/6.9 with the Tele Vue-102.

The Tele Vue-102 is offered as a complete package or as an O.T.A., since you may already own a 2" diagonal and adapter as well as an eyepiece collection and mounting rings. These items are available expertly for the O.T.A.. I hope you agree that the 4" Tele Vue-102 offers the high standard of performance and features of Tele Vue refractors along with a unique value. - Al Nagler
