The Explore Scientific ED102-FCD100 Carbon Fiber Triplet is a top-tier refractor designed for visual astronomers and astrophotographers who demand precision, portability, and optical excellence. This telescope features a high-performance 102mm air-spaced triplet design built with HOYA FCD100 extra-low dispersion (ED) glass—comparable to FPL-53—and delivers true diffraction-limited performance. The lightweight carbon fiber tube not only enhances portability but improves thermal stability for sharper images during long exposure astrophotography. This premium optical tube assembly is paired with a rugged 2.5" HEX focuser capable of holding up to 10 lbs of imaging gear. The carbon fiber body with an integrated dew shield, Vixen-style dovetail, and handle-equipped cradle ring makes this system as functional as it is elegant. A 99% reflective 2" dielectric diagonal and hybrid finder scope base are included to get you observing right away. Mounted on the EXOS2-GT with PMC-Eight mount, the ED102 becomes a formidable imaging and visual platform. The PMC-Eight’s open architecture supports ASCOM-based software and the ExploreStars™ app for intuitive control and alignment, offering access to a massive database of 80,000+ celestial objects. Whether you’re scanning the Milky Way visually or capturing fine details in distant nebulae, this combo is an advanced and flexible solution ready for any observing session.
