OVERVIEW
The APO110 Fluorite is TEC’s smallest model, it was designed with customer input in mind and many
aspects of it’s design were discussed on tec-scopes yaoo group since April 2009:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/tec-scopes
As a result we have designed a very compact, relatively fast F/5.6 telescope that could be used for both
visual observations and wide field imaging.
Scope also has number of features that in given combination are rarely found in one scope:
- Compact, lightweight tube assembly with retractable baffle and shell type ring with handle for GG
action (“grab and go”)
- Case for telescope has “carry-on” dimensions for most airlines (since these dimensions could change,
please double check weight/dimensional limitation prior to your flight).
- Telescope objective being “oiled triplet” by design transmits more light than any other objective in it’s
class, thanks to the use of CaF2 as a middle lens and modern BBAR coatings on outer surfaces.
- Precision rotatable focuser with coarse and fine focusing, with 2”eyepiece holder.
- The focuser features a specially designed collet made of metal wich is insensitive to temperature and
holds loads with high precision when concentricity of focuser tube and axis of the eyepiece or camera
attained automatically by definition.
- All components of the telescope, including: mechanical parts, optics, coatings, etc. are
MADE IN USA
