Tele Vue-102 Concept: 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 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. 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 Specifications TV – 102 Type APO (Doublet) Refractor(Elements/Groups: 2/1) Objective (mm) 102 Focal Length (mm) 880 Focal Ratio (f/#) 8.6 Drawtube/Focuser 2-inch rack/pinion Length OTA (inch) 30.9 Length with diagonal (inch) 33.8 (with 2-inch diagonal) Weight OTA/Std.

The Tele Vue-60is is optimized for cameras with up to APS sized chips (27mm diagonal) making it ideal for the majority of D/SLRs and CCD cameras. With a focal length of just 360mm (f/6) the Tele Vue-60is delivers a nice wide-field for these smaller chip sizes. At six pounds the 60is is twice the weight of the standard Tele Vue-60! The heft comes from the 6:1 dual-speed 2″” rack and pinion focuser with dual screw clamp ring locking thread-in field flattener 6-point suspended mount ring and heavy-duty adjustable balance bar.

The Tele Vue-NP101(Nagler/Petzval) represents our closest realization yet of the “”ideal”" multi-purpose photo/visual telescope. Its snap-to-focus sharpness across even the widest true fields and rich planetary contrast will take your breath away. Its quality easy set-up and airline portability beckons your use. Over 20 years ago we reinterpreted the incredible design flexibility of the Petzval portrait lens into an astronomical objective. No other design type affords the freedom to simultaneously correct for: coma astigmatism field curvature secondary spectrum spherical aberration and spherochromatism. The artful combination of materials and design bestows the Tele Vue-NP101 with diffraction limited performance into the furthest reaches of the visual spectrum. Manufacturing advances in lens finishing including interferometric monitoring of all surfaces and Tele Vue’s stringent assembly and quality control insure uniformly excellent results with every telescope and a level of manufacturer direct service all too rare. If your interests range from terrestrial to rich-field or planetary astronomical or to photography just put in your eyepiece or attach a camera and the NP101 is ready to satisfy right out of its case.
