Scientific Carbon Fibre Series refractors
Explore
Scientific Carbon Fibre Series refractors are premium top of the
line refractors and provide very sharp and
contrasty views of the night sky. The Explore Scientific CF Series telescopes
feature Triplet apochromatic lens and a strong yet light weight
carbon fibre body with minimal thermal expansion, great for astrophotography.

ED102-FCD100 Air-Spaced Triplet in lightweight Carbon Fiber!
This telescope has
all the great features of the original EDT-10207-CF but includes
genuine HOYA's premium FCD100 ED glass which is very similar in
characteristics as OHARA's FPL-53. Relying on technological
innovation, we have successfully launched the mass production of
high-performance optical glass at the apex of the FCD family.
Combining it with optical glass of high refractive index allows
us to achieve unprecedented advanced chromatic aberration
correction. HOYA FCD100 is considered one of the premier ED
glass types available.
Having a true
diffraction-limited optical design and sized to encourage
spontaneous stargazing sessions, this high-quality telescope is
a perfect grab-and-go instrument for exploring the skies.
Featuring an air-spaced triplet optical design that virtually
eliminates chromatic aberrations, this telescope generates
brilliant high-contrast images by combining genuine HOYA FCD100
extra-low dispersion (ED) glass and proprietary EMD enhanced
multi-layer coatings on all optical surfaces.
In addition, this
amazing scope also includes a new 2.5" Hexagonal focuser
with very rigid design and strong support. Up to 10 lbs of gear
can be loaded onto this focuser. ED102 Carbon Fiber f/7 Air
