DESCRIPTION:

Uncover cosmic marvels such as the stark allure of the lunar landscape, the tranquil structure of Saturn's rings, or the most brilliant deep sky treasures from the Messier catalogue with Explore Scientific's ED102-FCD100 Series Air-Spaced Triplet Refractor Telescope. This product is essentially equivalent to the ES-ED10207-02 model but with even higher quality optics. We utilize Hoya FCD100 glass, which shares similar characteristics to Ohara FPL-53 glass. Through technological advancements, we have successfully manufactured high-performance optical glass within the FCD family. The combination of this glass with high refractive index glass allows for exceptional correction of chromatic aberration. Hoya FCD100 is regarded as the finest glass produced by Hoya. With a true diffraction-limited design and a size that encourages spontaneous stargazing, this telescope is the ideal grab-and-go instrument for exploring the night sky. Its air-spaced triplet optical design virtually eliminates chromatic aberrations
