Its 102mm aperture collects much more light than its 90mm little brother - the light collecting capacity is 212X more than the naked eye alone (for a 7mm exit pupil). Although the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eoverall length is only 28cm\u003c\/b\u003e, it has a long focal length of 1300mm resulting in an aperture ratio of f12.7.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstronomically, this telescope has had a lot to offer: with a resolution of 1.13 arc seconds,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eplanets\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ebecome beautiful objects to observe.

Many classic spotting scopes only start to include adapters for use with a camera at the higher end of the market, at several hundred Euros.
