ZWO FF Series

Designed as an astrograph first.

Every FF series telescope is built around a native flat field, so the optics, focuser and rear interfaces all serve one goal: clean stars across the whole sensor.

Attach your camera, reach focus, start imaging. No flattener. No spacing maths.

Optics

Four elements, fully air-spaced.

The FF131 APO uses a four-element, fully air-spaced apochromatic design in which all four elements work together to form the image. One ED (extra-low dispersion) glass element reduces chromatic aberration for cleaner colour correction and sharper stars.

Native flat field

Flat to the edge. No flattener.

The flat imaging field is generated by the optical design itself, so there is no field flattener to buy and no back focus calculations to get right. Once focus is achieved, you are ready to capture.

Full-frame support

44 mm image circle.

A 44 mm corrected image circle fully covers full-frame sensors, with sharp star fields and consistent illumination from centre to corner. Smaller APS-C and dedicated astronomy sensors have generous headroom.

Focusing

1:10 dual-speed control.

A rigid 3″ rack-and-pinion focuser offers precise control, and the 1:10 coarse and fine adjustment makes critical focus easy to hit. A built-in 360° rotator at the rear sets your framing without disturbing focus.

Build

Retractable dew shield.

The dew shield retracts to shorten the tube for packing and travel. Precision CNC machining, a high-quality painted finish and an internal anti-reflection coating keep stray light down and image contrast up.

Connectivity

Adapters in the box.

A four-section photography extension tube with a 2″ filter thread is included, along with rear adapters in M48×0.75 and M54×0.75 standards. The quick-release mounting rings detach in seconds for fast setup and teardown.

Quadruplet optics

Four elements. One flat field.

All four air-spaced elements work together to form the image, with one ED glass element controlling chromatic aberration for clean colour correction and tight, well-defined stars.

Optical layout

The light path, end to end.

The optical layout delivers a corrected, flat field at the sensor with no additional optics in the imaging train. What leaves the objective arrives at your camera, flat.

Full-frame ready

44 mm image circle.

Full-frame sensors are covered corner to corner with sharp star fields and consistent illumination, and smaller sensors sit comfortably inside the sweet spot.

Critical focus

Coarse and fine, 1:10.

The rigid 3″ rack-and-pinion focuser moves heavy imaging trains smoothly, and the 1:10 fine knob gives you the resolution to land exact focus on a star.

Framing

360° of rotation.

A built-in rotator at the rear lets you set the camera angle for perfect framing without unthreading anything or disturbing focus.

Field-ready build

Quick-release rings. Retractable dew shield.

The mounting rings detach in seconds for fast setup and teardown, and the dew shield slides back to shorten the tube for transport. CNC machining and an internal anti-reflection coating keep contrast high.

In the box

Photography extension tube.

A four-section photographic extension tube with a 2″ filter thread is included, plus M48×0.75 and M54×0.75 rear adapters, connecting cameras, filters and accessories cleanly out of the box.

Aperture and reach

131 mm of light grasp, 983 mm of reach.

The flagship of the FF series pulls in the most light and resolves the finest detail of the range, and the 983 mm focal length frames smaller targets tightly. The optical tube weighs 7.9 kg, or 9.4 kg with the handle, mounting rings and dovetail plate fitted.

Flexible connectivity

One telescope. Three configurations.

Pair the FF131 APO with ZWO ASI astronomy cameras, attach a DSLR or mirrorless body, or drop in a diagonal and eyepiece for visual observing. Focus is reached within a back focus range of 42–73 mm, measured from the M54–M48 interface shoulder. Visual accessories are available separately.

Every detail, considered.

Four-element, fully air-spaced apochromatic design with one ED glass element.

Native flat-field design, no separate field flattener or spacing adjustments required.

44 mm image circle with full-frame sensor support and edge-to-edge sharpness.

3″ rack-and-pinion focuser with 1:10 coarse and fine adjustment.

Built-in 360° rotator for precise camera angle adjustment.

Kenko VcSmart Cellarto · Made in Japan · Authorised Kenko Dealer

15× power. Zero shake. Nothing to switch.

The Kenko VcSmart 15x42 Cellarto WP reads how you’re moving and chooses the right stabilisation mode for you — panning a boat deck or locked on a perched bird. Just lift it and look. Bright 42 mm optics, fully waterproof, and 28 hours of steady viewing on a single AA.

Fog-resistant, rain-ready

High-power viewing that anyone can hold steady — automatically.

Auto Vibration Control Mode

It reads your movement. Then it steadies the view.

Older stabilised binoculars run a single correction mode, or make you switch by hand every time conditions change. The Cellarto system detects whether you’re making big sweeping movements — searching for a subject or riding a rocking boat — or holding subtle and still on a stationary target, then switches to the right mode instantly. The result is a more natural, more comfortable, more immersive view with nothing to think about.

Fully Multi-Coated Optics

Bright, high-contrast, true to colour.

Every lens and prism surface is fully multi-coated to maximise light transmission. With 42 mm objectives feeding a roof-prism design, the VcSmart 15x42 delivers a clean, contrasty image that holds detail into the lower light of dawn and dusk — when wildlife is most active.

One AA. 28 Hours.

The Cellarto runs on a single standard AA alkaline cell — the kind you’ll find in any servo, supermarket or corner store, at home or overseas. One battery delivers up to 28 hours of continuous stabilisation, so a spare in your pocket is all the backup you’ll ever need.

No Auto Power-Off

Stays on as long as you’re watching.

There’s no auto-shutdown to cut the stabilisation mid-aria or mid-flight. Whether it’s the second act of a concert or a long stake-out on a distant nest, the view stays steady for as long as you keep watching.

Ergonomic Flat Design

Comfortable in any hands.

The battery compartment sits to the side, giving the body a flat, balanced profile that’s easy to grip and hold for long sessions. A simple slide switch toggles vibration control on and off — no menus, no fuss.

Concert-Ready Detailing

Considerate touches for the venue.

An easy-to-use slide switch gives quick ON/OFF control of the stabilisation, while a light-shielding slide shutter covers the pilot lamp — so no one mistakes a glowing indicator for a recording device in a darkened theatre or concert hall.

Fully Waterproof (WP)

Built for birds, boats and starry skies.

Leica Monovid 8×25

Precise. Elegant. Made for every pocket.

An ultra-compact 8× monocular that slips into a jacket pocket and brings the world close, from a face on a distant stage to the fine veins of a single leaf.

Brilliant Leica optics, in a body smaller than your phone. The companion you actually carry.

Pocketable

112 mm tall, 152 grams.

At roughly 112 mm long and just 152 grams, the Monovid slips into a jacket pocket, a backpack or a small handbag and is easy to forget you are carrying. The slim aluminium barrel still delivers the full 8× optical performance of a far larger instrument. Portability never costs you the view.

Leica DNA

The diamond-pattern leather.

The body wears the same diamond-pattern leathering as the legendary Leica cameras. It is more than a styling cue: the leather gives a secure, tactile grip in the hand and shrugs off years of daily use. The result is a discreet, timeless elegance that only improves with age.

Bright, true colour

90% light transmission.

HDC multi-coated optics and a P40 phase-corrected roof prism push 90% of the available light through to your eye, for bright, high-contrast views with faithful colour. The HighLux HLS coating draws extra brightness from every scene. Fine detail holds up at dawn, at dusk and in shade.

Go anywhere

Waterproof to 5 metres.

The nitrogen-filled aluminium housing is sealed against water to a depth of 5 metres and resists internal fogging when the temperature changes suddenly. It shrugs off rain, spray and dust without complaint. A humid morning by the water is never a reason to leave it at home.

The close-up lens

Macro views, from 25 cm.

The included close-up lens simply screws onto the objective. It lets you focus on objects just 25 to 30 cm away with razor-sharp clarity, ideal for deciphering a timetable, reading the small print, or studying the fine structure of a flower.

In the field

Wherever you go.

In the city, at the theatre, or out in open country, the Monovid is small enough to always be with you and ready in an instant.

Detail you would otherwise miss.

At 8× magnification, distant facades, signage and the faces of performers on stage are pulled close. Up close, the structure of bark, an insect or a leaf is revealed in fine, natural detail.

True to life

Colour, exactly as it is.

HDC coatings and 90% light transmission keep the image bright and the colours faithful, right down to the wing of a single butterfly.

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).
