See the whole picture with Ultima Edge. These flat-field eyepieces were designed to provide an ultra-sharp, ultra-clear, crisp image from the center all the way to the edge of the field of view. The 18mm Ultima Edge eyepiece features fully multi-coated optics and an 8- element lens design, maximizing light transmission.

The Ultima Edge 18mm has a generous 65° field of view perfect for viewing planets, stars and the Moon’s surface. This eyepiece provides higher-powered magnification, perfect for those times when you want to get up close to smaller objects.

Body

The 18mm Ultima Edge eyepiece’s main housing is machined from high grade aluminum with a black anodized outer surface.

Its 1.25" mounting barrel is internally threaded to accept standard 1.25" filters and adapters. It is compatible with 1.25” star diagonals and focusers. On the exterior of the eyepiece, you will find a uniquely designed, molded rubber grip ring for non-slip handling during observing sessions.

Viewing through the 18mm Ultima Edge eyepiece is comfortable for both eyeglass wearers and non-eyeglass wearers alike, thanks to the rubber eyecups and long eye relief of 20mm.

Convenient Parfocal Design

Spend more time observing and less time focusing! When you buy more than one Ultima Edge eyepiece, you can switch between them without refocusing thanks to their parfocal design. With a set of Ultima Edge eyepieces in your kit, you'll be able to enjoy a wide range of high and low power views—and switch between them quickly and easily. That means you can get more out of every observing session.

NOTE: Ultima Edge 24mm is not a parfocal eyepiece. Ultima Edge eyepieces are only parfocal within the line and do not maintain focus when swapped with parfocal eyepieces from other brands or series.

Produce a larger area of illumination for your 9.25”, 11” or 14” Schmidt-Cassegrain or EdgeHD telescope by using the this adapter. When this adapter is paired with our Off-Axis Guider, these two imaging accessories allow you to use the full image circle in our larger scopes. This configuration is especially helpful to owners of larger format cameras, such as the Canon 5D or 6D, since their full frame can take advantage of the more substantial area of illumination produced by larger optical tubes.

What’s New!

The Large SCT & EdgeHD Adapter V2 for Off-Axis Guider has a longer optical length—38mm. The adapter’s longer length provides DSLR cameras back-focus spacing for Schmidt-Cassegrain and EdgeHD optical tubes in conjunction with the Off-Axis Guider without the need for extra adapters or spacers.

Body

The Large SCT & EdgeHD Adapter V2 for Off-Axis Guider is machined aluminum black anodized. The internal surfaces are sandblasted to help prevent glare and provide the highest contrast. The adapter has a knurled surface providing a great gripping surface for threading and unthreading.

These binoculars come with a sturdy nylon mesh carry pouch and the level of quality and attention to detail you'd expect from being made in Japan -

Made in Saitama (Vixen's home town!)

It is a product of "Made in Saitama" which carries out everything from lens polishing, metal working to assembly until inside Saitama Prefecture. Vixen Corporation (Tokorozawa, Saitama Prefecture) manages the entire manufacturing process, and Optomiyauchi (Saitama prefecture's Yorii Town), which has a proven track record in manufacturing anti-astringent binoculars, is in charge of parts, metal processing and assembly.

The VEO HD binocular features extra-low dispersion (ED) glass and phase-corrected BAK4 prisms that work together to virtually eliminate chromatic aberration and produce images with true color fidelity across the entire field of view, along with enhanced contrast. Complementing the glass and prisms are an anti-reflective and fully multi-coated optical system that improves light transmission for bright and clear images with greater low-light performance.

VEO HD binoculars offer clear, vivid images thanks to its extra-low-dispersion (ED) glass, which cuts out chromatic aberration and enhances color resolution and contrast. Vanguard's anti-reflective and fully multi-coated optical system improves light transmission for bright and clear images.

These binoculars are designed to be user-friendly and comfortable as well. A large, ergonomic center focus knob makes VEO HD binoculars easy to adjust. Plus, the three-stage twist-up eye cups ensure you can set the eye relief for viewing with or without eyeglasses. VEO HD bodies are made from lightweight, durable composite-carbon body that is well-balanced for nature adventurers. The open-bridge design offers a welcoming, easy grip during long days afield.

Vanguard VEO HD binoculars are waterproof and fog-proof to keep moisture locked out. Plus, the scratch-resistant lenses feature a coating to keep water droplets from sticking.

The Lumicon 1.25" Comet Filter, a narrow band-pass filter (25 nm), isolates the 501 nm OIII line and both C2 lines at 511 nm and 514 nm. The high contrast of the filter reveals the delicate ionized tail of gaseous comets, allowing you to see their full extent. The Comet Filter also helps you to better distinguish gaseous comets from dusty comets, which normally show little contrast gain.

The transmission properties of the L-RGB Filterset 1.25in Type 2c filters are optimized for CCD astrophotography. The set allows taking images in correct colours for all types of objects. Where other brands make strange compromises, we do the best colour reproduction possible. Both stars as well as objects that emit only in spectral lines, are reproduced in their true colors. You get CCD images with perfect colours, as if the objects where bright enough to be seen with photopic vision. This feature is the main difference between Astronomik filters an those of other manufacturers.

The following aspects have been most important for the design of our filters:

- simple image processing for the user

- highest transmission (nearly 100%) for short exposure times

- adjusted transmissions of the individual filters for optimal colour reproduction

- the use of industry standards

Astronomik doesn't stop thinking at the step of taking the picture. More important a tool should be given to the astrophotographers that offers a simple and elegant editing process. To maintain the colour, we calculated our filterset for the sRGB color space, that is used as an industry standard from most manufacturers of monitors, printers and imaging software. As a user, you do not need to spend time learning about colourimetry and colour spaces. We have solved the special problems of astrophotography for you.

Due to the high-precision machining of the carrier substrate, our filters are parfocal with wedge errors below all usual margins. In order not to be the bottleneck in a high-quality optical system Astronomik filters are of course diffraction limited. Issues concerning focal distances as well as the exact location of the images of each colour image are not a problem at all!

Main use

The L-RGB filter set divides the spectrum into its components red, green, blue and luminance. Thus colour separation can be achieved with pure b/w CCD sensors. The separation corresponds to the colour sensitivity of the human eye according to DIN 5032. By using the sRGB color space it is possible to maintain the color of the image throughout the entire image processing and output. With an Astronomik L-RGB filter set and your camera you create ideal raw material for image processing in the sRGB color space.

Kendrick Secondary Heater Wrap-Large heaters are designed to work with Newtonian/Dobsonian secondary mirrors that are attached to a "stalk", but don't have enough exposed mirror to use our "Split-Ring" or Elliptical style heaters. The heater warms the stalk, and that heat is then conducted to the mirror.

How to choose the right model for your telescope?

It's easy! You just need to make a few easy measurements. We can't help you to choose because we don't have your telescope in our shop and there are literally thousands of models and "eras" of these telescopes. Even models that have been in continuous production for decades frequently change the mirror assembly design, so we don't want to suggest a model that might not work. The good news is .... you have the telescope in-hand, so a few quick measurements is all it will take to find the perfect fit.

All models include easy electrical connectors and a neoprene wrap-around insulator which greatly enhances the performance of these heaters as it prevents the warmth generated by the heater from dissipating into the atmosphere.

The power draw is incredibly low using only 0.3amp or 4 watts at 100% Controller setting

This model is a simple strip-heater that can be mounted either horizontally or vertically. There are 3 sizes available.
