Tecnosky Planet 102ED F11 Doublet APO with 2.5" Focuser

The Tecnosky Planet 102 is an exceptional value 4" refractor offering low cost with outstanding colour correction thanks to its high F11 focal ratio and ED glass. While longer than a typical 4" APO it is actually quite light at approx 4.6kg.

It features a lightweight aluminium tube including tube rings and a dovetail. The supplied focuser is a 2.5" Rack and Pinion type with 1:10 fine focusing which is compatible with our UXF motor focus.

A 100mm scope offers significant benefits in light gathering compared to smaller scopes and together with its excellent correction, the 102/1100 offers outstanding value as it provides performance equal to or better than triplet designs of the same aperture.

This highly corrected telescope is, as its name suggests, a perfect tool for planetary observation allowing for high magnifications with minimal interferance from seeing.

Another particularly good application for this telescope is as a solar telescope. It works well with White Light options like an EMC front mounted filter or Herschel Wedge. It is ideal for Calcium wavelengths using Calcium filters / wedges and particularly the Lunt CaK Module. With a simple internal ERF like the 35nm H-Alpha, it is also perfect for use with a quality rear mounted Etalon like the Solar Spectrum Sundancer as its F11 focal ratio becomes F33 allowing excellent on band H-Alpha performance.
