Thank you for purchasing the Tele Vue-102iis. It has been our pleasure to craft this fine instrument for
you and we hope that it serves you well.
The original Tele Vue-102i used a Tele Vue-102 objective with a tube cut 5” shorter. Removing 5” of
mechanical path length allowed the Tele Vue Bino Vue (hence the “2i” designation) to be used at 1x.
Recognizing the additional back focus of the 102i could be a great benefit to photographers, we created
an Imaging System version, the Tele Vue-102iis.
Tele Vue’s “is is is is is” designation denotes Tele Vue instruments capable of accepting IIIIImaging S SS SSystem
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 102iis maintains all the
visual performance and versatility of the standard Bino Vue ready Tele Vue-102i, the larger focuser along
with a host of proprietary Imaging System accessories, make it ideally suited for the CCD imager.
WARNING: NEVER try to look at the sun or point the telescope toward or near the sun without
professional solar observing equipment rigidly secured in front of the objective lens. When
observing the sun with the proper filters, remove any finding devices such as Starbeam from the
telescope. Instant and permanent eye damage may result from viewing the sun directly, even during a solar
eclipse, or when viewing through thin clouds, or when the sun is near the horizon.
