Specifications

Kendrick Secondary Heater Wrap-Small 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. Look below and you will see a link to a template that will help you find the perfect fit.

Sizing Template

Use this template to test for best fit. Simply print a copy and cut-out the template shapes and test fit. Take note of the portion of the heating element that is non-heated (1 1/8″ or 28mm). Also give consideration that the mirror collimation mechanism needs some room to move.

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.

Offers a very wide field-of-view, with pinpoint edge-of-field sharpness. These latest advancements offer a fully multi-coated optical design with premium-grade, exotic optical glass for the best possible image correction in color and brightness. The blackened lens edges provide enhanced contrast and help to reduce reflections while the parfocal design delivers little-to-no focus change when switching between eyepieces. With a generous eye relief, enjoy a comfortable observing experience. UHD eyepieces deliver a 40% improvement in corrections for chromatic aberration and edge distortions over traditional Plössls.

With a waterproof design, UHD eyepieces will guard against fog and outdoor atmospheric elements. Has blackened edges and is parfocal. Observe your favorite celestial objects in a new and improved view.

Highlights:

• Ideal for visual observation and astrophotography.
• Designed for the amateur astronomer or photographer who wants to view and photograph the moon, planets, and deep sky objects.
• Features FPL53 "super" extra-low dispersion (ED) glass in a fully multicoated apochromatic lens system that corrects for both spherical and chromatic aberrations, astigmatism, and off-axis comas.
• This correction creates a wide flat field of view without distortion and removes the blue-tinted halo effect for true high-contrast color transmission.
• Can accept both 2" and 1.25" eyepieces and accessories for visual use.
• Threads on the drawtube allow direct connection of T-rings and other camera mounts.

A ring spacer placed around the objective lens refines star images beautifully in astrophotography.

In the previous SD81S model, a set of three tiny tin foils are placed around the objective lens as a spacer between the doublet lens. The end of the tin foils protruding over the objective lens obstruct the incoming light. As a result, the protruding tin foils make the light of diffraction of stars chipped radially. Exchanging the tin foils for the spacer ring makes the diffraction of the stars' light equal. It allows you to create more refined and beautiful star images in your astrophotography.

The SD lens suppresses residual chromatic aberration far below the threshold of visibility.

A lens of refracting telescopes has chromatic aberration which is caused by different wavelength of visible light (colors) focusing at different distances. The Vixen SD lenses, made of FPL53 super extra-low dispersion glass, allow for correcting the chromatic aberration over a wide spectrum of light. The SD81SII delivers outstandingly sharp images with high contrast for both visual and photographic applications. Moderately bright F7.7 images will satisfy the most demanding visual astronomer or astrophotographer.

A short optical tube in length is handy for not only visual observation but also astrophotography.

The ED81SII optical tube has a moderate short length to enable you to carry and set it up readily. Also, a lightweight optical tube allows you to balance it with fewer counterweights. The ED81S comes equipped with a metal carry handle and the Vixen standard dovetail slide bar M for quick attaching and detaching. The provided Flip mirror diagonal switches incoming light to allow for using two eyepieces of different magnifications alternately. Also, you can install a camera on the straight side and view an image through an eyepiece on the right-angled side of the flip mirror diagonal.

Full-frame imaging with a DSLR camera.

Using an SD reducer HD kit or an SD Flattener SD kit, which are available optionally, the SD80SII provides an image circle of 44mm, adequate for taking photos with a DSLR camera. (Photo) M8, M20 nebulae taken with Vixen SD81SII with SD reducer HD kit (compound focus 496mm) and Pentax K-1 at ISO1600, 49 minutes exposure.

Optional accessories to expand your pleasure of taking astrophotography.

SD Reducer HD Kit: This kit includes a flattener lens to be combined with a reducer lens for a flat and wide imaging field when you use them with the SD81SII, SD103SII, or SD115SII optical tube. The reducer lens reduces a focal length by 0.7X. Direct Wide Photo Adapter 60DX: It is available for Canon EOS or Nikon DSLR cameras. It is possible to change the orientation of a camera for a framing of the photographic field.

Wide Photo Adapter 60DX

High precision camera adapters for prime focus astrophotography are optionally available for Canon EOS and Nikon. The Wide Photo Adapter 60DX is designed to be an integrated camera mount reducing vignetting to the maximum. They are highly effective with full-frame DSLR cameras, and can be used with SD series refractors (in combination with the SD Reducer HD Kit or SD Flattener HD Kit).

ZEISS HD glass elements deliver exceptional colour fidelity and resolution across the full zoom range. Fluoride-type glass suppresses chromatic aberration so subjects appear with outstanding edge-to-edge sharpness and natural colour rendition — even in challenging low-light or high-contrast conditions.

ZEISS T* Anti-Reflection Coating

ZEISS T* multi-coating is applied to every air-to-glass surface, reducing reflections to an absolute minimum and maximising light transmission. The result is a bright, high-contrast image with exceptional colour neutrality — the hallmark of every ZEISS optic. In low light or against bright skies, the difference is immediately visible.

LotuTec® Hydrophobic Lens Coating

The outer lens surfaces are treated with ZEISS LotuTec® — a hydrophobic nano-coating inspired by the lotus flower's self-cleaning properties. Water, grease and dust bead off rather than smearing. In rain, fog or dewy conditions your view remains clear without constantly wiping the lens. LotuTec® keeps your optics performing flawlessly no matter what the weather throws at you.

Ergonomic Design

Every control on the Conquest Apia is where your hands naturally fall. The smooth dual-speed focus wheel allows quick rough focus followed by precise fine adjustment, while the large, textured zoom ring is easily operated with gloves on. The angled eyepiece option makes extended sessions effortless whether the scope is on a low tripod or a high window mount.
