Ease of use and impeccable optical quality make the FS-102DX2 Catadioptric Telescope a favorite of beginner and casual star gazers alike! The astronomical telescope is mounted on the Super Glide Altitude Azimuth mount, with up, down, left and right movement. It also makes terrestrial viewing easy when an erecting lens is used. The Super Glide mount features slow motion controls in both axis for precision adjustments. The Mount is attached to a very sturdy, fully adjustable, pre-assembled metal tripod with retractable rubber feet. The tripod also features an accessory tray with slots to place four 1 1/4" eyepieces or lenses.
The optical tube assembly attaches to the mount by an adjustable tube clamp which, in combination with the adjustable counter balance weights, ensures easy fluid movement of the telescope at all times. The telescope tube features heavy duty metal primary and secondary mirror cells. The telescope's optical tube assembly is finished out with a large 2" format focus tube (2" to 1 1/4" adapter is included as well).
The FS-102DX2 optical tube assembly features a catadioptric design, providing an 1100mm focal length (catadioptric correcting lens is fully multi-coated). The primary mirror is a 102mm heavy duty mirror cell, with push/pull collimation screws. The primary mirror is aluminized with Silicon Monoxide Quartz overcoating, providing 92-percent reflectivity and a resolving power of 1.14 arc seconds.
The secondary mirror has an obstruction of approximately 25-percent linear (approximately 6-percent of the total area). The optical tube assembly is diffraction limited at 1/4 wave in Sodium light. The Mars' Eye electronic Finderscope helps by getting the observer behind the telescope, without losing the surrounding field of view when targeting objects. Included with the FS-102DX2 are a 1 1/4" 6.8mm to 16mm zoom eyepiece (42-degree apparent field of view at 6.8mm), a 1 1/4" 20mm eyepiece (52-degree apparent field of view) and a 3 element 3x Barlow. The telescope is made of high quality metal, plastic, and glass.
