Explore Scientific FirstLight 102mm Doublet Refractor Telescope OTA (FL-AR1021000)
OTA ONLY - Mount and Tripod Required
Designed and built primarily for lunar and planetary views with the ability to resolve bright deep-sky objects like clusters, the Explore Scientific FirstLight 102mm f/9.8 Refractor Telescope is fully multi-coated with anti-reflection coatings to reduce light loss and produce brighter and clearer images with more accurate colours versus non-coated systems.
