Tele Vue NP101is OTA Imaging System Review
A review of Tele Vue NP101is OTA Imaging System.

Manufacturer: Tele Vue
Tele Vue NP101is OTA Imaging System – Product Warranty: Five year
Product Type: Tele Vue > Scopes
For 25 years, TeleVue 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 (May and June 2002) and selected it as the test instrument for its landmark review of the SBIG STL11000 CCD camera (July 2004). The “is” versions of the TeleVue-60, 102i, NP101 and NP127 retain the exemplary wide field and planetary visual capability while addiding new features to make imaging easier and more flexible. We were determined to make the NP series optically, mechanically, and functionally as perfect as possible for imaging up to 50mm diagonal chips without penalty to its near ideal visual operation. How? By applying the developments created for the TeleVue-60is to the New NP101is and NP127is and then going beyond.
