This 102 mm FPL53 and lanthanum air-spaced doublet has a 714 mm focal length and f/7 focal ratio. It is intended for visual astronomy and astrophotography with the appropriate camera train.
The original Photoline tube uses a 2.5-inch dual-speed rack-and-pinion focuser. TS documents the same OTA within its corrected photographic bundle.
This listing is the native OTA; a bundled corrector is not assumed. The original source is internally inconsistent: prose gives 714 mm native focal length while its table gives 711 mm. The optional corrector uses 55 mm spacing from its M48 camera connection.
