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.
