Highly advanced "photo andvisual" optical design, the flagship of Vixen SD apochromatic refractors.

Vixen AX103 features a three element objective lens, incorporating an SD lens in its center, and the fourth lens inside of the focuser drawtube. This advanced optical design produces crystal-clear, sharp and high contrast images with no trace of falese color. In spot diagrams of the AX103S, the star images are extremely concentrated and are seen as small as 20 microns at the edge of ther file of view. The precision multicoatings applied to each surface to the lenses enhances visible light transmission to 99.5% on any single surface. An optional AX103 reducer which produces fast F5.6 forcal ratio is best for imaging of deep sky objects.

Suitable for use at private observatory dome

Provides a less blind area and it allows easily for pointing a telescope on the AXD mount to anywhere. This pillar uses a setting space smaller than a tripod of the same grade, so this is suitable for a private observatory dome.

Specifications

AXD-TR102 is a robust tripod designed for the AXD equatorial mount.

Specifications

Best for serious astrophotographers who demand a perfect imaging platform with user-friendly functions that allow for comfortable operation.

The AXJ-A103S package comes with the quad element AX103S apochromatic system that features SD glass for uncompromising optical performance, the pinnacle of this aperture class. The mount comes with a sturdy but lightweight ASG-CB90 tripod made of carbon fiber.

•  AX103S optical tube assembly.

  The three-element objective lens, which includes a centre SD glass element, delivers crystal-clear, sharp, and high-contrast images with no noticeable false colour. Additionally, the built-in field corrector lens ensures that star images remain as small as 20 microns at the edge of the imaging field. Premium AS coatings are applied to every lens surface, enhancing visible light transmission to 99.5% (for wavelengths between 400nm and 700nm), ensuring exceptional light transmission across the entire visible spectrum.

• AXJ equatorial mount.

  The AXJ mount, equipped with the advanced Ultimate Periodic Error Correction (VPEC) system, provides highly accurate tracking with precision of +/- 4 arc seconds or better. The VPEC operates automatically during use, ensuring seamless performance. The mount's belt drive system significantly reduces backlash and minimizes motor noise, while delivering quick and stable motor response. Additionally, the AXJ mount supports a maximum payload of 22 kg.

• STAR BOOK TEN star chart go-to navigation controller.

  The STAR BOOK TEN features an intuitive "Star-Chart Go-To" system with a high-definition colour LCD display. It shows detailed information, including the telescope's position, the target, and other useful data. The night vision mode can be activated to illuminate the entire screen in red, reducing brightness to protect the observer's night vision.

• Durable and lightweight carbon tripod.

  The ASG CB90 is a compact and lightweight tripod which is constructed of durable carbon fibre legs. Also, the tripod head, leg extension part and leg brace have been reviewed completely to realize a highly stable tripod for the AXJ mount.

Vixen's smallest scope equipped with ED glass, the Geoma II ED 52mm Spotting Scope is a collapsing body model that's perfect for casual observing from a monopod, car window mount, or even hand-held upon occasion. There's a host of optional eyepieces which can provide high magnification, wide fields, or tiny dimensions. This scope is a great secondary device to use (with your binocular as your main stable entry) on a wildlife observing excursion.

The main advantage of the Geoma II ED is its objective lens of ED (extra-low dispersion) glass, which is an expensive process that produces a more refined alignment of colour at the point of focus. Whenever observing at high magnification or with heavily-backlit subjects, the ED glass advantage is apparent to any observer. Subject colour fidelity and edge delineation are precise, and free of distracting ebbs in the resolving power of the lens.

This is the straight viewing version of the Geoma II ED; an angled viewing model's also available. Most users will prefer locating their subject with a straight viewer, but the angled viewing models are easier to share in a group. If observing from an elevated position, a straight viewing model's preferable. Eyepiece not included.
