Catalog description

TeleVue 102i Package w/ Bino Vue, part number TVU021, is a discontinued product from the 2007–2011 catalog. It was last listed at $3650.00.

Tele Vue-102i Package Includes - Hard Case - 1.25 Everbrite Diagonal - 1.25 Adapter - Ring Mount - Bino Vue.

Our newest model APO refractor (102mm aperture 880mm focal length f/8.6) is designed to permit lower-power wider-field binocular viewing - all in a more compact form. The Tele Vue-102i sports the same overall length as the Tele Vue NP-101 making it easier to transport. It will fit in the NP-101s soft carry bag. By having a tube thats five inches shorter than the regular Tele Vue-102 model it is now possible to use the Bino Vue without its standard 2x amplifier/corrector. The complete version of the Tele Vue-102i includes a Bino Vue body with a specially designed 1x prism compensator for correcting the slight aberrations introduced by a prism. The 2x amplifier is not included as the new tubes five-inch shorter path length no longer requires it. Current Bino Vue owners can purchase the OTA (Optical Tube Assembly) version of the Tele Vue-102i (product code WBO-4086) which includes the hard case 1x prism compensator and flat-top adapter. For Solar viewing in Hydrogen-alpha with Coronado filters up to 90mm the Tele Vue-102i will permit full solar disc Bino Vue operation since the maximum field is approximately 1.75 inches. For terrestrial viewing (upright but reversed image) the new comfortable 60-in. Everbrite mirror diagonal is sturdy enough to support and lock the Bino Vue with prism compensator attached. The Tele Vue-102i can also be used without a Bino Vue by combining both the two-inch and three-inch extension tubes between the focuser and the diagonal. The telescope then functions exactly like a regular Tele Vue-102.
