This is one of the best 4 inch (102mm) refractors in the world and what makes it that good is it has a Fluorite element which gives the viewer unbelievable images of planets with no false colour just the planet and a jet black sky behind it, Stars are pin sharp right to the edge of the field of view and once you look through this scope under a really dark sky at say the summer milky way it really will take your breath away.
On the technical side of things it has a focal length of 820mm and a aperature of F8.0 this size is widley regarded as one of the best all rounders for planets, nebula, star clusters and general astronomical viewing, The focuser is a big solid 2.7 inch super smooth piece of engineering and the lens cap is like a drain lid - solid metal with a velvet ring around the outside!
