      5.0 TEC 140 mm f/7 apo triplet oil spaced

      Pros:

      All around refractor with ability to view any object both visually as well as for imaging.

      Cons:

      None that I can think of.

      Comments:

      Yuri Petrunin from TEC in Golden, Colorado has been producing some very fine refractors running from the 140 ED Triplet to a 160 ED Triplet, a Fluorite Triplet, a 180 ED Triplet and a 200 mm Fluorite Triplet. All of these are oil-spaced in the classic Zeiss method.

      My 140 Apo at f/7 has been a joy especially with the FeatherTouch focuser that can handle a very large CCD camera and filter wheel without flexure. Imaging in town, narrow-band objects as well as viewing planets with the Nagler 3-6 Zoom makes this an all around favorite.
