OVERVIEW
The APO110 Fluorite is TEC’s smallest model, it was designed with customer input in mind and
many aspects of it’s design were discussed on tec-scopes yahoo group since April 2009:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/tec-scopes
As a result we have designed a very compact, relatively fast F/5.6 telescope that could be used for
both visual observations and wide field imaging.
Scope also has number of features that in given combination are rarely found in one scope:
• Compact, lightweight tube assembly with retractable baffle and shell type ring with handle for GG
action (“grab and go”)
• Case for telescope has “carry-on” dimensions for most airlines (since these dimensions could
change, please double check weight/dimensional limitation prior to your flight).
•Telescope objective being “oiled triplet” by design transmits more light than any other objective in
it’s class, thanks to the use of CaF2 as a middle lens and modern BBAR coatings on outer surfaces.
• Precision rotatable focuser with coarse and fine focusing, with 2”eyepiece holder.
• The focuser features a specially designed collet made of metal wich is insensitive to temperature
and holds loads with high precision when concentricity of focuser tube and axis of the eyepiece or
camera attained automatically by definition.
•  All components of the telescope, including: mechanical parts, optics, coatings, etc. are made in
our shop in Golden, Colorado.
