The pinnacle of our ED scopes, this refractor is packed with great features and excellent optics. The refractor style 100ED (APO) features a 2" rack and pinion focuser and has a bracket that can adapt to a photo tripod. ED glass provides excellent color correction and razor sharp images and virtually eliminates chromatic aberration usually seen during planetary and lunar viewing. This telescope comes complete with a 20mm 1.25" eyepiece, erect image diagonal and 6x30 finderscope.
CG-5 Mount — Precision engineered for stability. Our new German Equatorial mount has precision worm gears on both axes for extremely smooth stability. The key element that makes this system the most stable in its class is the NEW heavy-duty tripod with larger and more substantial legs that offer excellent damping characteristics for more stable views.
