The full multi coating is made from Aluminum, Hafnium Oxide, Titanium Dioxide, Silicon Dioxide and Magnesium Fluoride and offers views that are 11% brighter than a regular UHTC coating.

It turns out the 102 performs very well indeed. The focal length of the 102 is 1000mm while its focal ratio is f9.8. The higher the f number the more suited the scope to Lunar/Planetary observations as the field of view is smaller and views are more magnified and dimmer.
