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 new Tele Vue-102 is a 4-inch, 2-element f/8.6 APO air-spaced doublet, similar in aperture to the 4-element f/5.4 Tele Vue NP-101. The Tele Vue-102 achieves similar diffraction limited, high power viewing as it's 4" sibling, along with a wide 3 degree maximum visual field (compared to 4.9 degrees for the Tele Vue NP-101).

Like all refractors without a rear lens group (as built into the Tele Vue NP-101) a field flattener is needed for photography of star fields. However, a dedicated 0.8x reducer/flattener will be available, to permit great astrophotography at f/6.9 with the Tele Vue-102.
