A 102mm f/9.8 achromatic doublet refractor that delivers sharp, high-contrast views of the Moon and planets — sold as an optical tube assembly for observers who already own a mount or want to choose their own.
The long f/9.8 focal ratio is naturally forgiving of eyepiece quality and produces tight, well-corrected star images without the coma or field curvature that faster telescopes struggle with. The 1000mm focal length reaches useful planetary magnifications with common eyepieces — a 10mm eyepiece delivers 100x, enough to split Saturn's rings and resolve Jupiter's cloud belts. Fully multi-coated optics maximize light transmission through the doublet objective.
Ships with everything you need except a mount: a 90° star diagonal for comfortable viewing angles, a 25mm Plossl eyepiece (40x) for finding and framing targets, a red-dot finderscope for alignment, and a smartphone camera adapter for quick lunar snapshots.
