Explore Scientific ED102 Essential Series APO Refractor

Explore Scientific ED102 Essential Series APO Refractor – $500 OBO   For sale is my Explore Scientific ED102 Essential Series 102mm ED APO Refractor. Asking $500.   The ED102 is a great all-around refractor for both astrophotography and visual observing, offering a nice balance between aperture, portability, and optical performance. The 102mm ED triplet optics provide sharp, high-contrast views with excellent color correction, while still being manageable enough for a portable imaging setup.   The telescope is in good condition and has been well cared for. I'm simply moving some equipment around and would rather see it go to someone who will put it to good use.   Specifications:   - 102mm aperture - ED triplet apochromatic optics - 714mm focal length - f/7 focal ratio - Explore Scientific Essential Series - Dual-speed focuser - Excellent for deep-sky astrophotography, lunar/planetary imaging, and visual observing   Price: $500 OBO   Local pickup/meetup is welcome, or I am willing to ship at the buyer's expense. I can package the telescope carefully for shipping.   Payment arrangements can be discussed with the buyer.   Feel free to message me with any questions or if you'd like additional photos of the telescope.
