The Apex 102 "Mak"- A Scope For All Reasons Powerful enough to split close double stars, resolve bright globular clusters, or look an eagle in the eye, the Apex 102mm is both a fine astronomical instrument and an unparalleled terrestrial spotting scope. The Apex's 102mm-diameter (4") optics collect 28% more light than a 90mm scope. The fully multi-coated curved front meniscus lens guarantees the highest possible light transmission. The Maksutov-Cassegrain design collapses its 1300mm (f/12.7) focal length into a tube length less than 12" long. The Apex 102 tube easily pops on and off a telescope mount or camera tripod with the built-in 1/4"-20 adapter plate, and doubles as a high-power telephoto lens. Just mount a 35mm camera body (with optional T-ring) to the T-threads on the eyepiece holder and you're set! Includes 25mm Sirius Plössl eyepiece, 6x26 finder scope, 45° correct-image diagonal, and fully padded case.
