Vixen AX103S Apo 103/825mm - 4-Element Refractor with field flattening

Vixen 4-Element Apo AX103S with integrated Field Flattening

The Vixen AX103S, F/8,0 apo refractor has a three-element objective with a central ED element. This configuration reduces the chromatic aberration to a minimum which is not disturbing anymore and allows high-contrast observations even in the highest range of magnifications.

Additionally, a field flattening element is permanently installed in the tube which is especially designed for this objective, allowing astrophotography with highest sharpness right to the corners even with large sensors.

The Vixen AX103S is the answer of the renowned telescope manufacturer to overpriced apochromats from Japan. This device does not need to hide itself behind considerably more expensive photo apos, neither in terms of optics nor in terms of mechanics. The AX103S comes from Japan.

The advantages and features of the AX103S:

Outstanding chromatic correction through triplet lens with central ED element

Optics and mechanics "Made in Japan" with highest quality

Overdimensioned focuser with approx. 60 mm clear aperture for full illumination even of larger sensors

Permanently installed field flattening element, designed for the objective, for high edge sharpness

No annoying color fringes around stars (on photographs) or moon/planets
