Description

Tele Vue NP101is

Tele Vue’s “is” designation denotes instruments capable of accepting Imaging System photographic accessories. Tele Vue has designed this series of accessories in conjunction with each optical system so you are ensured of compatibility and maximum performance. While the Tele Vue NP101is maintains all the visual prowess of the standard NP101, the larger rear elements and larger focuser along with a host of proprietary Imaging System accessories, make it ideally suited for the CCD imager.

Concept

CCD cameras have challenged telescope optics beyond anything ever placed at the focal plane. I knew our APO objectives were up to the challenge, and with the proper tweaks would be extraordinary tools for the imager. With Tele Vue Imaging System (“is”) telescopes, we have refined our instruments and optional equipment beyond anything a CCD chip has seen.

Development

TV-NP101is
TV-NP101is telescope outfitted with Starbeam unit-power finder, and 10mm Delos eyepiece. Gibraltar-HD4 Mount with SkyTour computer and Eyepiece Caddy set.

For 30 years, Tele Vue has pushed the boundaries of APO refractors, as well as eyepieces, to the recognized pinnacle of performance. We were gratified but not surprised that Backyard Astronomer’s Guide said of the NP101: “optics don’t get any better than this.” No wonder Sky and Telescope rated the NP101 tops and selected it as the test instrument for its landmark review of the SBIG STL11000 CCD camera . The “is” versions of the Tele Vue-60, NP101, and NP127 retain the exemplary wide field and planetary visual capability while adding new features to make imaging easier and more flexible.
