Vixen APO 103/795 mm - 2-lens SD Apochromat, multi-coated

Vixen SD103S 2-lens ED Apochromat with multi-coated optics

The Vixen SD103S features special SD lens elements (Super Extra Low Dispersion) and is the biggest of the Vixen SD series. These lenses are made under environment-friendly conditions and without the use of lead. The telescope is also equipped with optimized interior baffles, which allow the use full frame format cameras, and illuminates a circular field of 44 mm. Despite its large aperture the SD103S is highly transportable and thereby perfectly suitable for mobile astronomy at the highest level!

When a two-lens objective with special glas is designed and constructed in Japan, you can expect excellent quality. Breathtaking sharpness and details are guaranteed in each and every night with this instrument. Not only will you notice finest color nuances on planets, but also achieve remarkable results when doing Deep-Sky - no matter if visually or photographically. Chromatic aberration is reduced to an unnoticable minimum, light of all wavelengths of the visual spectrum align at the focal plane.

The newly developed "Dual Speed" focuser permits, thanks to its 1:10 speed reduction, highly precise focusing, to get the most out of the telescope´s optics.

Advantages and features of the SD103S:

Contrary to the ED series also suitable for full frame format cameras.

"Dual Speed"-focuser with 60 mm free aperture - no obstruction caused by tightly assessed 2" drawtubes

Outstanding color correction due to ED lenses made of "Super Extra Low Dispersion" glas

Uncompromising quality "Made in Japan" - mechanically and optically

Environment-friendly production - without usage of lead
