New look for the TEC140FL

[GavStar]

So TEC has just completed its first 140mm scopes with fluorite rather than the previous FPL53. 

At the same time, they’ve also given this scope a new ‘look’ as per the attached.

The views the scope gives are the key thing but it’s certainly an interesting change TEC have done. I think I’ll stick with my all white one...

A change in the colour of the dewsheild represents radical re-branding chez TEC!  (How nice to see a simple, uncluttered design free from the scribblings of ADHD graphic designers.)

While it's unlikely to happen, I'd love a chance to look through, and image with, the fluorite version. The regular one doesn't leave much room for improvement.

You have a capstan wheel on your rotating focuser. Where did that come from, you lucky fella?

The wheel was introduced to the 160 and 180 TECs last year. I don’t really use it but it looks nice ?
