Available Models
APO140FL F/7 – TEC’s most popular and smallest model. Weighing just under 20 lbs, this telescope is the most versatile and a great telescope for those that value versatility. This telescope has the greatest range of mounts available to it and can be outfitted for either astrophotography or visual observation.
APO160FL F/7 – Slightly larger than the APO140FL F/7, this telescope gives the user that little extra aperture to look through the stars. This telescope is almost as versatile as the APO140FL F/7, often fitting on similar mounts and able to switch easily from visual observation to astrophotography.
APO180FL F/7 – The largest portable telescope that TEC offers, this unit weighs around 40 lbs including the rings, plate and handle. With a 53″ extension, this telescope pushes the limits of a portable telescope and requires a stable, higher capacity mount than its smaller iterations.
