The Tele Vue-102 achieves similar diffraction limited, high power viewing as it's 4" sibling, along with a wide 3 degree maximum visual field (compared to 4.9 degrees for the Tele Vue NP-101).Like all refractors without a rear lens group (as built into the Tele Vue NP-101) a field flattener is needed for photography of star fields. A dedicated 0.8x reducer/flattener is available, to permit great astrophotography at f/6.9 with the Tele Vue-102.The Tele Vue-102 is offered as a package and as an O.T.A., since you may already own a 2" diagonal and adapter as well as an eyepiece collection and mounting rings
