FCD100 Series 127mm f/7.5 Carbon Fiber Triplet ED APO Refractor Telescope with 2.5" HEX Focuser

I already own the 4 inch version, so I knew the FCD-100 triplet with a 5-inch aperture would be stunning. It does not disappoint. Add to that the lightweight carbon fiber OTA, and this is a fine scope. I have no issues with the focuser (visual only). It operates smoothly and easily holds my heaviest eyepieces with no slipping. The unit I received (and the previous 4-inch version) did not have any dust on or behind the glass.

The scope and optics are great, focuser not so much. ES should offer an upgrade before shipping. Photos are great but focuser sags a bit under the weight of a filter wheel and a Zwo 2600 duo.

Love the scope. Had first light with it this week.
