Features

  • The SVBONY SV48P is a 102mm f/6.5 achromatic refractor with fully multi-coated optics; a 2.5-inch dual-speed focuser and a 360-degree rotatable design; weighing just 7 lbs, its a great option for wide-field astrophotography; especially with a field flattener
  • f/6.5 short focal ratio; larger field of view; can collect more light; the image is brighter; and the observation target is clearer and easier to observe; very useful for taking wide-angle celestial photos
  • Dual-speed focusing; fast focus allows you to quickly move the focus wheel to roughly focus on your target; while slow focus adjusts focus more finely for optimal image clarity; product does not include field rotator, good astronomical observations can be achieved by choosing the right eyepiece; effective tracking, and post-processing
  • Combinations; the refractor telescope can be used with SV705CC planetary camera to assist photography; and can be used with SV231 chromatic aberration correction filters to control chromatic aberration levels
  • Fully multi-coated lens; uses superior optics to provide clear and realistic views; designed with fully multi-layer coating; more realistic colours for maximum eye protection
  • AR anti-reflective coating; it can reduce reflection and increase transmittance; improving the brightness; clarity and contrast of images; thereby providing a better visual experience
  • Integral hoopd; the tube rings make the telescope more stable and avoid wobbling; and provide a stable support to keep the optical components of the telescope stable relative to each other
  • Objective lens cleanliness; dust on the objective lens will cause reflection of light; thereby reducing transmittance; maintaining cleanliness minimizes these interferences and improves the brightness and clarity of the image
  • Easy to assemble and use; the telescope is designed to be user-friendly; it can be set up quickly without additional tools; you can find a lot of fun in assembling
  • Widely used; the refractor telescope can be used in multiple scenarios; such as observinging the moon; nebulae; celestial bodies; etc; the excellent optical performance of the telescope can produce clear images

  • Excellent optics and mechanics!
Size: 102mm
This achromatic refractor is a winner. After my 3 star experience with the MK105 I was a bit skeptic but the 102mm sp48 was a different story. It arrived fast and very well packed. The overall impression was that of a well made quality instrument. The focuser worked smoothly. I set it up on one of my equatorial mounts and waited for a good clear sky night. The testing day arrived a couple of days later. My first target was the star Regulus. I used it for a star test. At low power the star looked like a bright point and the intra and extrafocal images looked good. The real test came when I increased the power to 250x using a good 2x barlow and a 4mm orthoscopic eyepiece. The star focused into a nice Airy disc surrounded by a first diffraction ring. This is waht you expect from a good refractor. Collimation was off by just a tiny bit. It was easily fixed by unscrewing a bit the objective retaining ring, tapping around the objective cell and screwing back the retaining ring but just enough for a snug fit. The telscope now showed a very nice collimation at high magnification. On the planets the telescope performed very well on the now small Mars planetary disc. It showed the polar cap and some albedo features. Not bad for an f/6.6 telescope being used at high magnification. Lunar features were crisp and clear. I could not see any violet fringing on the Moon. The star Spica showed very little violet at high power too. The fine focusing knob works great and is especially useful when using high magnification. In recent days I have been using this telescope to observe double stars. It is excellent for this purpose. I have been able to split close doubles easily at powers even above 250x. The telescope has not been tested for astrophotography yet but as a visual telescope this is a very nice instrument for the value. I read that the first batch had problems but apparently they were taken care of. This is a really good one SvBony. ... show more

  • Excellent starter or portable telescope
Size: 102mm
I'm very pleased with this scope. Yes, it has some chromatic aberration, but that is to be expected from an affordable doublet design. Knowing this, I purchased the "color correction" filter which reduces, but clearly does not correct the aberration. I also found the course focuser on my scope to drag a little but finding precise focus was easy using the fine focus control, even with a heavy DSLR attached. Intend as portable travel telescope for visual use, I find the SV48P to be a perfect fit. Its 102 mm aperture is large enough for brighter deep sky objects yet its weight, even when mounted on a heavy duty photographic tripod, to be manageable. In fact, I sometimes leave the scope set up in my garage and carry it out to the driveway for a quick observing session after walking the dog in the evening. Transporting, setting up, and aligning my other scopes is far from being that spontaneous. Overall, the SV48P is well built and capable (within its limits) telescope. I would recommend it to anyone seeking a first telescope or a long-time enthusiast seeking an affordable grab and go observing telescope. It can also serve as a dedicated narrow-band imager, though the filters will almost certainly cost more than the scope! ... show more

  • Amazing beginner telescope!
Size: 102mm
Amazing beginner scope for astrophotography . Im a beginner myself and find the scope an amazing fit for my needs. From nebula to lunar/planetary, it works great. With this scope expect a decent amount of CA (Chromatic Aberration). Not something you can fix entirely but it is possible to reduce the effects of it using filters and editing software if you’re into astrophotography. Viewing is also great! The focus controls work very well allowing you to easily fine tune the scope to your target. I would 100% recommend if you’re starting out with astrophotography and if you’re looking to play around with a beginner telescope for it. Below I’ve listed a few picture I’ve taken with the scope and DSLR. The 2 moon pictures are lucky stacked so they have lower quality. The real quality is very clean and crisp. Again just has that Chromatic aberration issue that you get with an achromatic telescope. And again i’m just a beginner at this so you could pull of some much better images with this scope! ... show more

  • Great scope, fantastic value, great performer.
Size: 102mm
I am an experienced astrophotographer with several scopes. I thought I would give this inexpensive achromat a try. Wow, it exceeds my expectations. It's sharper than I thought it would be, and what little coma exists in the corners of the image are easily correctable in my processing software. The included photo of the Rosette Nebula was captured on my first night using the scope. There are a couple of minor little issues like the smoothness of the focus knobs, but given the image quality exceeding my expectations, I'll live with that - doesn't matter because I put an electronic auto focuser on it anyway. Great little scope, fantastic value, great performer. ... show more

  • Excellent achromat telescope
Size: 102mm
This telescope's build quality is excellent! It has a 2" eyepiece/diagonal interface and includes a 1.25" adaptor. The metal tube has a nice textured powder coat finish that should resist minor bumps and scrapes. The two speed focuser is very smooth. The overall fit and finish is excellent! I do wish the included dovetail had measurement markings as I find them helpful for mounting consistency. I'll probably just put a couple of white paint marks on the bar rather than replace it. Optically - this telescope is an achromat. Most stars, clusters, nebulae, etc. do appear normal when perfectly focused. However, there is the expected red/blue separation with brighter celestial objects. The SV231 color correction filter (not included) does help tame the chromatic aberration. But it is not a magic fix that turns this into an ED telescope. Overall, I am happy with this telescope and intend to use it mostly for visual observing, where chromatic aberration isn't critical. This was $220USD at the time of purchase, which I think was an excellent price for the build quality alone. ... show more

  • Good value, seems rugged, does what it's supposed to do
Size: 102mm
A break in the late-winter cold weather allowed me to get out and use this telescope for the first time. The seeing wasn't very good, but Jupiter was near the zenith and in the clear for about an hour. Using a Tele Vue 1.25" diagonal and a pretty good 12mm off-brand eyepiece, I could clearly see the equatorial cloud bands and all four Gallilean moons. The two-speed focus was a really big help and works well. Color fringing was minimal for a doublet objective and the moons were neat pins of light. Bright stars showed even abberation, nothing off-axis. This is a relatively simple telescope that is well-made and an excellent value at this price. ... show more
