  • NP101is Imaging the Skies over Maryland! (1/7/2026)
    We've been watching Jim Johnson's progress for many years on Flickr and feel he's broken into the top-tier of NP101is imaging with his recent targets. In 2025 he told us: "Just this year I have reached a point in my photography journey that I am mostly (but never completely) happy with my work."

  • Catching Up: Linwood Ferguson's NP101is (7/12/2023)
    Linwood Ferguson images through his Tele Vue-NP101is using a full-frame (43.3mm diagonal), small pixel (3.76μm) camera, taking the scope to the limits of resolution and field size. He's also a pretty skilled image processor: we are particularly struck by the choice of colors in his Hubble Palette images. This is an update from our 2021 blog on his imaging.

  • NP101is: Imaging the Skies over Cambridge (5/27/2022)
    Always on the lookout for great examples of astrophotos made with our gear, we were impressed with Steve Greaves' collection made under Bortle 4 skies from backyard in Cambridge, UK

  • Tele Vue-NP101is: Imaging the Skies Over Southwest Florida (4/23/2021)
    The lead-off image of this blog post is certainly an eye-grabber! It is one of the most unique interpretations of the Rosette Nebula (NGC-2237 or Caldwell 49) in Hubble Palette filters we've seen. Read our profile of Linwood Ferguson and his Tele Vue-NP101is in Southwest Florida.

Tele Vue's APOD Images
Our "is"-series of scopes are made for imaging. So it is no surprise that many NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day (or NASA APOD) selections were created with "is" scopes. See our growing list of APOD images.

Paul favors the NP101is over camera lenses "when you can't get close enough or getting too close will scare the subject away".
