    This Explore Scientific FCD100 102mm bundle pairs a premium air-spaced triplet apochromatic refractor telescope with a lightweight carbon-fiber tube and the motorized iEXOS-100 GoTo equatorial mount. The three-element FCD100 objective delivers superb color correction and pinpoint stars for demanding astrophotography, while the carbon-fiber tube resists focus shift as temperatures change and the GoTo mount finds and tracks targets automatically. A serious, high-performance imaging refractor package.

    Frequently asked questions

    Why an air-spaced triplet? A triplet objective uses three lens elements for superior color correction over a doublet, giving sharper, higher-contrast images — ideal for astrophotography.

    What's the benefit of the carbon-fiber tube? Carbon fiber is light and thermally stable, so focus holds better as the temperature drops during a night of imaging.
