Left: The fully multicoated ED doublet objective provides exceptional contrast and clarity. The lens, which is mounted in an adjustable cell, is precision aligned and star tested at Stellarvue headquarters.
Right: We designed our unique rotating collet system for the Feather Touch version of this telescope (SV102ED2). The 102ED uses a conventional rotator. Both provide 360 degree rotation of the focusers. The focusers
unthread reducing the length of the telescope to airline carry on size. The SV102ED and SV102ED2 are the only 102ED's that are airline transportable.
Objective
Zygo and star tested 102 mm clear aperture, air spaced, doublet objective using an extra low dispersion ed glass providing zonal and color correction on par with similarly sized doublet ED lenses sold as doublet
apos. This telescope objective is a great value for the money and significantly outperforms anything else we have ever offered in its price/size/speed range.
