Description: | The FCT-100 (triplet fluorite) is remarked to be the absolute finest 4-inch refractor ever built. It is also the rarest. According to many sources, only 20 or less were made available to the world! (I hear only 2 reside in the U.S.) The "new" price was $5,500. However, due to their insane rarity, they have appreciated to phenominal levels...and continue to do so.
The FCT-100 also includes a large 4-inch rotatable focuser which is present on it's larger FCT family members. |
