Carton Optical Company, Japan. Model AE 106 D-101mm f-1600-Japan. This is an outstanding example of a 1970’s model Japanese refractor. All medal construction and among the finest optical lens ever made. At 4” inches and f/15 this is one fine planetary refractor! The overall condition of the telescope and tripod is excellent to near mint condition. The only part that shows any flaws is the dew shield. Other than that the telescope is really nice. This is a complete telescope and comes exactly as you see it in the pictures. It is currently setup with an adaptor to use 1-1/4” eyepieces. I’ve been using high power Naglers and the views are awesome! This is a slide-in adaptor made from an Orion 1-1/4” extender and can be taken out and replaced with the original .96 diagonal. There is nothing that was modified or altered to use this 1-1/4” adaptor, you just slide it in and exchange it with the .96 diagonal anytime you want. Everything on the telescope is original. This is a “showpiece” telescope that you will be proud to display in your home; it’s also an extremely well crafted optical instrument capable of displaying the finest images of the moon and planets that you’ll ever see. There is absolutely no color on any object and stars are perfect pin points of light, the planets, such as Jupiter show incredible detail on the disk. The background is black and the contrast is excellent. Deep sky objects are also incredible. This is a large instrument; the OTA is 5-1/2 feet long. I would encourage the prospective buyer to pick up the telescope up in person. I will ship at the buyer’s expense. I’ll be happy to answer any questions that you may have about the telescope or shipping but please serious inquirers only, thank you. |
