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).

Noctivid reach. Pocket weight.

The Leica Noctivid Compact 10×25 delivers 10× magnification and 90 % light transmission in a 359 g body that goes everywhere. A 100 m field of view at 1,000 m, waterproof to 5 m — the detail-resolving power of a full binocular, without the weight of one.

HDC® Multilayer Coatings

10× reach. Light transmission that doesn’t blink.

Higher magnification compresses the exit pupil — in lesser binoculars, that means dimmer images. Leica’s HDC® multilayer coatings and HighLux-System HLS® hold light transmission at 90 %, maintaining bright, high-contrast images even in overcast conditions or at dusk.

Holds the light at dusk

15.8 twilight factor, 90% transmission.

A twilight factor of 15.8 — high for a 25 mm compact — pairs with 90 % light transmission to keep detail and colour readable as the sun drops. Dawn and dusk are when birds and wildlife are most active, and that is exactly when the 10×25 keeps working. The view stays bright long after a lesser compact has gone flat.

Phase-Corrected Roof Prisms

10× power. Prisms that can keep up.

BAK4 roof prisms with Leica P40 phase-correction coating eliminate the interference fringing that becomes conspicuous at higher magnifications. Sharpness and colour accuracy hold firm across the entire field — edge to edge, at full 10× power.

15 mm Eye Relief

The complete 100 m field. Without removing your glasses.

A 15 mm eye relief with twist-up rubber eyecups and two indexed click-stops means spectacle wearers access the full 100 m field of view — not a narrowed version of it.

Aluminium body, rubber armour

German-built to handle the field. Small enough to always come along.

The Noctivid Compact 10×25 uses an aluminium chassis from Leica’s Solms facility — sealed against dust and moisture, finished in durable rubber armour for a secure grip in wet or cold conditions. At 110 × 112 × 40 mm and 359 g, it fits every daypack, most jacket pockets, and the overhead locker of any aircraft.

Designed for every day

Safari, stadium, or sea cliff.

Ten times magnification in a body that goes in your pocket. The 10×25 is the binocular serious birdwatchers and travellers reach for when weight is non-negotiable.

Waterproof to 5 m

Sealed for wherever the birds are.

Nitrogen-filled and waterproofed to 5 m depth. Rain, sea spray, condensation, and sub-zero temperatures cannot reach the optics. The 10×25 performs in the conditions that test binoculars the most.

Close Focus 2 m

2 m close focus. No target too near or too far.

A minimum focus distance of 2 m means the 10×25 resolves the detail of a dragonfly resting nearby and a distant shorebird a kilometre out — everything in between stays sharp.

Made by Leica

Made in Germany. Every component counts.

Engineered and built in Germany, the Noctivid Compact 10×25 inherits the same optical philosophy and factory standards as every Leica instrument before it — a century of precision glass, precision mechanics, and nothing left to chance.

10x reach in a compact body

10× magnification. Zero excuses for leaving it at home.

At 110 × 112 × 40 mm and 359 g, the Noctivid Compact 10×25 puts full-range detail-resolving power into a body that disappears into any bag or pocket. The double-hinge collapses it flat in a second. It is the binocular that is always there, which means it is never the one you wished you had brought.

No hidden trade-offs. Everything a serious birdwatcher or traveller actually needs from a 10× compact.

10× magnification with a 100 m field of view at 1,000 m for clear detail at distance.

HDC® multilayer coatings and HighLux-System HLS® for 90 % light transmission.

Leica’s finest glass. In the one binocular you will never leave behind.

HDC® Multilayer Coatings

Brilliant in low light. Honest about it.

Leica’s HDC® High Durable Coating system achieves 90 % light transmission across the entire optical path — a figure most compact binoculars at this size cannot match. Images are brilliant, high-contrast, and free of colour fringing even in challenging light conditions.

Bright to the last light

90% transmission, 14.1 twilight factor.

HighLux-System HLS® coatings deliver 90 % light transmission, so the view stays bright as the light drops away. A twilight factor of 14.1 keeps fine detail and colour readable at dawn and dusk, when wildlife is most active. The image holds long after a lesser compact has gone flat.

Phase-Corrected Roof Prisms

Edge-to-edge sharpness. No excuses.

BAK4 roof prisms with Leica P40 phase-correction coating eliminate the interference effects that rob lesser compact binoculars of contrast and definition. The result is three-dimensional clarity with accurate colour fidelity right to the edge of the field.

15 mm Eye Relief

The full field. For everyone.

A 15 mm eye relief with twist-up rubber eyecups and two indexed click-stops ensures spectacle wearers see the complete 120 m field without compromise — not the cropped view that shorter eye relief delivers.

Aluminium body, rubber armour

Solms-built rigidity. Ready for wherever you take it.

The Noctivid Compact 8×25 is built around an aluminium chassis — the same structural thinking behind every Leica instrument from Solms. At 374 g and 110 × 112 × 40 mm, the rubber armour provides a secure grip through rain and cold, while the double-hinge design collapses to a profile that genuinely fits a jacket pocket.

Designed for every day

Concert hall, cliff face, or coral reef.

The Noctivid Compact belongs wherever you do. Small enough to forget you’re carrying it. Powerful enough to matter when you pull it out.

Waterproof to 5 m

Sealed against everything the sky sends.

Nitrogen-filled and waterproofed to 5 m depth. Rain, spray, salt air, condensation — none of it reaches the optics. The Noctivid Compact is ready when conditions are not.

Close Focus 2 m

2 m to the horizon. Nothing missed.

A 2 m minimum focus distance means the Noctivid Compact 8×25 resolves the wing pattern of a butterfly on your hand and the silhouette of a raptor a kilometre away — without changing equipment.

Made by Leica

Made in Germany. Still.

In an era of global manufacturing, the Noctivid Compact is engineered and built in Germany — inheriting the same factory precision and optical philosophy that produced the cameras, rangefinders, and field scopes that defined a century of German optics.

Pocket-ready dimensions

Fits your pocket. Not your compromise list.

At 110 × 112 × 40 mm and 374 g, the Noctivid Compact 8×25 slides into a jacket pocket, daypack lid, or glove-box. The double-hinge collapses it flat in seconds. It is always with you — which means it is always ready.

No surprises. Everything a serious birdwatcher or traveller actually needs from a compact binocular.

8× magnification with a 120 m field of view at 1,000 m — the widest in its class.

A one-piece magnesium alloy chassis handles the weight of full binocular optics without flex. IPX7 waterproofing protects in driving rain and splashes. Operating range from −25°C to +50°C covers every Australian season.

Fatigue-free observation

Both eyes working. Hours without discomfort.

Thermal monoculars tire the dominant eye – the Ventex XT50 does not. Natural dual-eye observation distributes the load, so pre-dawn surveys stretch into mid-morning without strain. The 62–74 mm interpupillary adjustment and 15 mm eye relief accommodate the full range of observers.

Long-range thermal detection

You see them. They don’t see you.

The 1280×1024 European sensor detects heat at up to 2,300 m – revealing birds in flight, animals at scrub edges, and wildlife on distant ridgelines long before they sense your presence. No light, no noise, no disturbance.

17.5° field of view

Less sweeping. More observing.

A 17.5° horizontal field (30.7 m at 100 m) lets you read an entire wetland edge or track a moving flock without constant panning. Birdwatchers, naturalists, and wildlife carers all benefit from a view wide enough to hold multiple subjects simultaneously.

All-night power

Dusk to dawn. Hot-swap ready.

The dual battery system – a 4,000 mAh internal cell plus a hot-swappable B-Pack Mini – keeps the Ventex XT50 running for eight hours straight. Swap the external pack mid-session without powering off. USB-C Power Delivery charges fast enough to be ready for the next night out.

Key features

Every capability, purpose-built. Night after night.

Field of view

F/1.0

Fast aperture lens

The detail to identify. The range to stay back. The Lumion XL50 is the thermal monocular serious wildlife observers have been waiting for.

Pulsar Image Boost

The bird in the hedgerow. Clearly resolved.

Image Boost applies advanced algorithmic processing to the raw sensor output, pulling fine detail from scenes where standard thermals deliver flat, ambiguous blobs. A wader at the water’s edge, a raptor perched in dense canopy, a mammal at the treeline – each becomes sharply defined.

Sensor sensitivity, brightness and contrast are all adjustable on the fly, so you tune the image to the species and the scene rather than accepting a generic preset.

Designed for the field

Every detail considered, for observers who never switch off.

The XL50 is built for marathon sessions – from predawn roost counts to late-night mammal surveys. Ergonomics, weather resistance and intuitive controls combine so that the tool never becomes the obstacle.

Camera-style control

Lock on before it moves

Zoom and focus rings follow the same layout as a professional camera lens. The moment you lift the XL50, the controls are where you expect them – so you frame, focus and confirm identity before a fast-moving subject disappears.

Ergonomics

Confident in your grip, whatever the conditions

Wear-resistant rubber armour wraps the chassis for a secure hold in rain, mud or cold. It absorbs knocks, repels dust and moisture, and wipes clean at the end of a long session in the field.

Built tough

Rated for the conditions you actually work in

IPX7 waterproofing and an operating range of −25 to +40°C cover everything from an alpine winter survey to a tropical coastal count. The chassis is built to perform, not to be babied.

Adaptable

Set it up the way you work

A symmetrical layout, adaptable hand straps and programmable buttons suit left and right-handed observers, and a personal user mode stores the settings you reach for most.

Carry system

Grab it and go – wherever the survey takes you

The included case is built to work, not just store. Modular straps integrate with your backpack or field harness for a genuine 3-point carry, so the XL50 is always within reach and never in the way.

Display

Sharp from the first light, even in a frost

The frost-resistant AMOLED HD display delivers a crisp, true-to-sensor image regardless of temperature. On cold mornings when conventional optics fog and digital screens dim, the XL50 shows you everything.

Replaceable battery pack

All night. With a spare in your pocket if you need it.

The APS 3 Li-ion pack delivers around 7 hours at +22°C. When a survey runs long, swap in a fresh pack in seconds – no cables, no waiting, no missed sightings.

Recharge over USB Type-C with Power Delivery support for a faster top-up, or drop the removed pack onto any Qi wireless pad when you are back at base.

In the field

2,300 m of reach. Every pixel working for you.

A 14° field of view sweeps habitat fast. An F/1.0 lens draws in thermal detail at the far edge of detection range. The result is an instrument that keeps up with wildlife – and with observers who know what they are looking for.

Built-in capability

Everything you need in the field. Nothing you have to add.

F/1.0

Detail at the limits of detection

An F/1.0 objective gathers maximum thermal energy, so fine detail holds up in cool ambient conditions and at the outer edge of the 2,300 m detection range – where lesser lenses give you noise.

64 GB

Document what you see, without slowing down

Record video and stills directly to 64 GB of built-in memory as .mp4 and .jpg files. No SD card to lose in the dark, no phone to pair before you can capture.

Dual

Share the sighting in real time

Dual-band 2.4 / 5 GHz Wi-Fi pairs with the Wild Vision app for live streaming to a phone or tablet, instant sharing with a team, or full remote control when the XL50 is deployed on a mount.

PlaneWave DeltaRho 280 Argus

f/2.75.
What used to take a week now takes a night.

The DeltaRho 280 Argus is PlaneWave’s observatory-class wide-field astrograph for serious imagers and sky-survey programmes. Fused silica quartz mirrors, a carbon fibre OTA, and a 55 mm image circle at f/2.75 — 280 mm of aperture that turns nights of integration into a few productive hours.

Observatory-class sharpness

f/2.75 is not just fast. It is the difference between finishing a target tonight and coming back next month.

Optical speed

13× faster than f/10. Every photon counts more.

At f/2.75, the DeltaRho 280 gathers light 13 times faster than an f/10 instrument of identical aperture. That is not an incremental advantage — it is the difference between a productive one-hour session and a week of cloud-interrupted integration. Research programmes and sky surveys that would otherwise take months become achievable in a single season.

55

mm image circle — large enough to cover full-frame sensors and beyond, with sharp stars from centre to corner at 4.5 μm RMS or better at 27.5 mm off-axis.

Mirrors

Focus stays locked. All night.

Primary and secondary mirrors are optical-grade fused silica quartz — near-zero thermal expansion, the same material used in premier research observatories. As temperature drops through the night, conventional glass mirrors shift focus. The DR280’s quartz mirrors do not.

Structure

Stiff where it matters. Light where it counts.

Carbon fibre delivers exceptional torsional rigidity with minimal mass. At 14.5 kg for a 451 mm OTA, the DR280 is a 280 mm instrument that mounts on observatory-class and high-end portable mounts alike — without needing a counterweight upgrade.

Focal plane adjustment

Sensor alignment without shimming or guesswork.

The integrated tip-tilt focal plane adjuster lets you dial in perfect sensor tilt with precision — no shims, no trial-and-error. It is consistent, repeatable, and done in minutes at the start of any session.

Field of view

The Heart Nebula. In one frame.

The 770.6 mm focal length paired with the 55 mm image circle delivers over 4 degrees of field of view. Large nebula complexes, galaxy groups, and wide-field targets that require mosaics on narrow-field systems fit comfortably into a single frame — or anchor a multi-panel survey.

Dew control

Dew control built in. Session-ending fog, ruled out.

Integrated dew control heater technology keeps the optical path clear on humid Australian nights. One less cable to run, one less failure point — the DR280 keeps imaging when lesser rigs fog out and call it a night.

Precision collimation

Collimation solved. From first session to thousandth.

The DeltaRho 280 ships with PlaneWave’s collimation software that walks you through mirror alignment step by step — no iterative star-testing, no guesswork. Set it once: the rigid carbon fibre structure holds alignment through the night. The low-profile focuser delivers 0.5 inches of travel from a 163 mm back focus distance, giving your imaging train room to breathe.

Sample imaging

M51. The Whirlpool Galaxy.

Galaxy arms, tidal bridges, and foreground stars resolved in a single short session. At f/2.75, integration time that would fill a week on a slower system compresses to a few productive hours.

Emission nebula

IC 1805. The Heart Nebula.

H-alpha, RGB narrowband composite. The 4-degree–plus field captures the Heart Nebula’s full complex and surrounding star-forming regions in a single pointing — a target that demands a mosaic from slower, narrower systems.

Why the DeltaRho 280

Built for imagers who treat every clear night as a resource. Nothing wasted.

280 mm (11″) aperture with fused silica (quartz) primary and secondary mirrors for temperature-stable performance

f/2.75 focal ratio — 13 times faster than f/10, reducing required integration time dramatically

55 mm image circle at 4.0 μm RMS on-axis and 4.5 μm RMS at the full 27.5 mm off-axis radius

Integrated tip-tilt focal plane adjuster for precise sensor alignment without physical shimming

Carbon fibre optical tube — 451 mm OTA, 14.5 kg total weight for use on observatory-class mounts

Built-in dew control heater and broadband AR coatings (<1% reflection, 400–800 nm) for consistent all-weather performance

4°+ field of view capability with a 55 mm sensor — ideal for large nebula complexes and sky surveys

PlaneWave FSCT8 Fast 8-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain astrograph, f/2.8 carbon-fibre tube

PlaneWave FSCT8 Fast SCT Astrograph

(0)

$9,869.00

Observable Space FSCT8 — Fast 8-Inch Schmidt-Cassegrain

The fast SCT, reinvented.
8 inches. f/2.8. Carry-on weight.

The Observable Space FSCT8 is the first native f/2.8 Schmidt-Cassegrain ever built in an 8-inch form factor. A 42 mm image circle, fused silica quartz mirrors, and a 267 mm carbon-fibre OTA under 9 kg — designed from the optical axis out for astrophotographers who demand observatory results without the observatory.

μm RMS across field

Sharp stars, edge to edge

Every clear night is too short. The FSCT8 makes sure you get the most out of every hour of it.

Optical speed

f/2.8 native. The SCT form factor finally fast.

A conventional 8-inch SCT runs at f/10. The FSCT8 runs at f/2.8 natively — no reducer stacks, no optical compromises. That is a 13-fold increase in photon-gathering speed. A four-hour integration target becomes roughly 20 minutes of effective exposure. For imagers working under Australian skies with limited clear nights, this is the most impactful single step up possible.

42

mm fully illuminated image circle. Sharp stars across the entire field at under 6.2 μm RMS — covering APS-C and most medium-format sensors with no vignetting.

Mirrors

Quartz mirrors. Focus doesn’t move.

Primary (210 mm) and secondary (114 mm) mirrors are both fused silica quartz — the same glass used in research-grade observatories. Near-zero thermal expansion means the focus point does not drift as temperature drops. Your collimation is still correct at 3 am.

Structure

267 mm OTA. Fits where full-size SCTs don’t.

The carbon-fibre upper cage is rigid, thermally stable, and keeps total OTA length at just 267 mm. That is shorter than many refractors. It mounts on mid-range equatorial platforms and travels as carry-on — without sacrificing the optical performance of a full 8-inch system.

Corrector

Flat field. Corner to corner. No caveats.

The 88 mm broadband AR-coated corrector lens flattens the focal plane and holds sub-6.2 μm RMS optical performance across the full 42 mm image circle — from dead-centre to the corner of a full APS-C sensor.

Back focus and image scale

Your full imaging train. No extensions required.

A 100 mm back focus from the mounting surface accommodates camera, filter wheel, electronic focuser, and off-axis guider without extension tubes. The 2.75 μm per arcsecond image scale is matched to modern small-pixel CMOS sensors — making the most of every pixel in the frame.

Observable Space

Purpose-built for imaging. Not retrofitted for it.

Observable Space — the PlaneWave and OurSky collaboration — built the FSCT8 as an imaging instrument from the ground up. Mirror material, corrector geometry, tube construction, back focus distance: every decision serves the astrophotographer. This is not a visual SCT with a reducer bolted on. It is a dedicated astrograph that fits in a carry-on bag.

Compact and portable

8-inch aperture. Mid-range mount. Dark-sky remote site. All viable.

At under 9 kg and just 267 mm OTA length, the FSCT8 is mountable on equatorial platforms that a conventional 8-inch SCT with reducer stack would overload. It travels as carry-on, sets up in minutes, and puts professional-grade optical performance within reach of any dark-sky site — no permanent observatory required.

Sample imaging

NGC 6992. The Eastern Veil Nebula.

Supernova remnant in Cygnus. Delicate filamentary emission structure that demands long exposures from slower systems resolves here in a fraction of the integration time — f/2.8 working exactly as intended.

Planetary nebula

M97. The Owl Nebula.

Planetary nebula in Ursa Major, approximately 2,600 light years distant. Extended shell structure and the characteristic owl-eye cavities resolved in a single night — a target that a slow system would need multiple sessions to match.

Why the FSCT8

More signal per hour. Every clear night finally worth the effort.

Native f/2.8 focal ratio — the first fast SCT in an 8-inch system, designed for wide-field deep-sky imaging from the optical axis out

42 mm fully illuminated image circle with optical performance under 6.2 μm RMS across the full field — sharp stars edge to edge

Fused silica (optical-grade quartz) primary (210 mm) and secondary (114 mm) mirrors with enhanced aluminium coatings for temperature stability

Carbon-fibre upper cage construction — 267 mm OTA, under 9 kg total weight for use on mid-range to high-end imaging mounts

88 mm broadband AR-coated corrector lens delivers a flat focal plane and 2.75 μm per arcsecond image scale suited to modern CMOS sensors

100 mm back focus from mounting surface — accommodates cameras, filter wheels, and electronic focusers in a standard imaging train

4°+ field of view with a 42 mm sensor — ideal for large emission nebulae, galaxy groups, and all-sky survey programmes

Stunning deep-sky images, tonight. No prior experience. No dark-room setup. No learning curve.

Sony IMX 676 sensor

More detail than any other smart telescope.

12.5 megapixels on a 7.0 × 7.0 mm square sensor with 2 μm pixels. The square 1:1 format fills every pixel on round optics with useful data, while the fine pixel pitch resolves structure in nebulae and galaxies that larger-pixel sensors simply smear over. Limiting magnitude 16 opens targets no competitor can reach.

50

megapixel mosaics via CovalENS automated mode — the Vespera Pro 2 plans, captures, and assembles panels automatically, scaling to a 4.18° × 2.45° field of view across multiple nights.

Full manual control

Automated when you want it. Open when you don’t.

Adjust exposure time, gain, and framing manually. Capture calibration frames. Export 16-bit RAW FITS files ready for PixInsight, Siril, or any processing workflow. Beginners get a fully automated result; experienced imagers get full access to the imaging chain.

Automatic anti-fog

No dew heater. No ruined session.

An integrated humidity and temperature sensor activates the anti-fog system before condensation reaches the optics. No dew heater cables to route or remember — critical for humid Australian coastal and bush nights.

Storage

225 GB. Multi-night. Onboard.

225 GB of internal storage stores 30 multi-night imaging slots simultaneously. FITS frames, TIFF pre-stacks, and JPEG previews. A 30 MB/s USB-C connection transfers a night’s work to a laptop in minutes when you’re ready to process.

Multi-night mosaics

Resume where you left off. Automatically.

The Vespera Pro 2 automatically continues a mosaic project across multiple nights, restoring framing and settings between sessions without any manual intervention. Large-scale targets — the Vela Supernova Remnant, the Magellanic Clouds — become achievable from a dark paddock, not just a permanent observatory.

Stray-light baffles

Deeper contrast from any backyard.

Internal precision optical baffles block stray-light paths that wash out contrast in light-polluted skies. The result is a higher effective dynamic range and deeper limiting magnitude than unshielded designs — a meaningful advantage from suburban Sydney, Melbourne, or Brisbane.

Portable by design

Take it anywhere. Image everything.

50 mm aperture. 245 mm focal length. Lanthanum glass S-FPL52 apochromatic optics with a flat-field corrector. The Vespera Pro 2 weighs 5 kg and folds to 48 × 20 × 9 cm — carry-on size, yet capable of images that rival dedicated rigs costing far more. Eleven hours of battery runs from dusk to dawn with no power cable required.

Captured with the Vespera Pro 2

M17. The Omega Nebula.

4 hours integration. Dual-band filter. Bortle 4 skies. The Sony IMX 676’s 2 μm pixels render the intricate emission structure with a level of detail previously beyond any fully automated instrument.

Lunt Double Stack Filter for Lunt 80 mm & 100 mm Universal Telescopes

(0)

$2,649.00

SFPT — Internal Double Stack Module For Lunt LS80MT & LS100MT Universal Day and Night Telescopes.

Now with new-generation etalons — every unit individually tested on Lunt's precision metrology equipment. Every specification is verified, not estimated.

The SFPT is the internal double-stack module for Lunt's 80mm and 100mm Universal Modular Telescopes. It adds a second precision etalon inside the telescope body, reducing combined system bandpass from 0.45Å single-stack to <0.28Å — without altering the telescope's external dimensions, balance, or night-sky capability.

The improvement in chromospheric contrast at <0.28Å is immediate and significant. Surface detail that single-stack views render as texture separates into discrete structure. Plage boundaries sharpen into defined cellular networks. Filaments reveal dark cores and complex multi-strand architecture. Active regions display the full depth of their magnetic complexity. Prominences show internal threading and flow patterns that single-stack instruments at this aperture simply cannot resolve.

The SFPT is designed for customer installation — no factory return required. It can be purchased at the time of telescope acquisition or at any point thereafter, making the DS upgrade a genuine deferred investment rather than a permanent commitment at point of sale. The module includes dual independent Doppler True tuning knobs — one for each etalon — allowing precise independent control of bandpass position for optimum contrast on any target.

Designed for the field

Fits where a full station can’t.

At 11.5 kg and 314×212×216 mm, the Power 1000 Mini goes where larger stations don’t. Into a car boot, a kayak hatch, a remote base camp. Full kilowatt-hour capacity, without the full-size compromise.

Why creators choose it

Every feature they need. In one compact package.

1008Wh LFP battery powers cameras, drones, lights, and laptops simultaneously

Retractable 100W USB-C cable built into the body, no accessories needed

Fast recharge to 80% in 58 minutes from a household outlet

Vaonis Vespera 3

(0)

$4,299.00

New for 2026! Our most popular Smart Telescope for servious observers has been upgraded.

Highlights includes:

New optics, with a three-group, flat-field apochromatic quadruplet.
Light baffles to help combat stray light for urban astronomers
11-hour battery
Increased internal storage
Anti-fog system
New, full height adjustable tripod

The most affordable premium smart telescope — built for everyone who wants more from the night sky.

Vespera 3 combines a new-generation optical design with all-night endurance and effortless automation. Whether you're under light-polluted skies or a dark rural horizon, it captures more, keeps everything, and asks nothing from you.

Why Vespera 3

Eight reasons to look up.

01

Edge-to-edge sharpness

A new apochromatic quadruplet design eliminates chromatic aberration and field curvature across the entire frame. Every star — from centre to edge — is sharp.

02

Clarity even under city skies

Precision-engineered optical baffles suppress stray light before it reaches the sensor. More contrast, deeper objects — even from your backyard.

03

A full night. Uninterrupted.

11 hours of battery life take you from dusk to dawn without power banks or interruptions. Your session ends when you choose to stop.

04

Nothing gets lost

115 GB of onboard storage and USB-C transfer at 30 MB/s. Every frame from every session is saved, organised, and ready.

05

Fields no single shot can cover

Mosaic mode stitches multiple frames automatically — up to 24 megapixels — so you can image entire nebulae, galaxies, and clusters in a single session.

06

Sky colour — the integrated post-processing studio

Adjust colours, balance, and contrast directly in Singularity. From sensor to final image — no third-party software, no file juggling, no extra steps.

07

Your AI guide to the sky

LumENS answers your questions, explains what you're observing, and suggests your next target. Astronomy made intuitive from the very first night.

08

Optics that protect themselves

An integrated humidity and temperature sensor automatically activates the anti-fog system. Your optics stay clear — whatever the conditions.

Take it anywhere

From urban backyards to remote dark skies

Compact, self-contained, and fully autonomous — Vespera 3 is as comfortable at a remote dark-sky site as it is on a city rooftop.

The DJI Mic 3 Transmitter clips to your subject and streams broadcast-quality wireless audio directly to the Pocket 4. Pre-paired from the factory. No external recorder, no manual sync in post.

Fill light (included)

Flattering light wherever you are.

The included fill light mounts to the rig and adds controlled, even illumination for face-to-camera content, interviews, and indoor shoots where ambient light falls short.

Wide-angle lens (included)

More scene. No quality trade-off.

The magnetic wide-angle lens snaps on in seconds, expanding your field of view for vlogs, tight interiors, and architecture. Same 1-inch sensor, same cinematic quality, just more of the world in frame.

Mini tripod (included)

Hands-free. Solo-proof.

The compact tripod doubles as a handle extension and desktop stand. Lock off a shot, run a time-lapse, or record a face-to-camera monologue without holding the camera. No second person needed.

The complete creator rig

Pre-assembled. Skip the compatibility research.

The Creator Combo bundles the Pocket 4 with the four accessories solo creators spend the most time sourcing and pairing. Wireless mic, fill light, wide-angle lens, mini tripod. All compatible, all tested, all in one bag.

All-new 1″ stacked CMOS

Every scene holds more light, more colour, more detail than your eye catches. The new stacked architecture reaches 25,600 ISO in low-light mode and records at up to 180 Mbps. Where other pocket cameras stop, this one keeps going.

Slow motion

240fps

Capture the moments your eye blinks past. Drop a clip to 10% speed and watch the world open up, at full 4K resolution with no crop.

Stabilization

3-axis gimbal, ±0.005°

Run, cycle, or walk at pace. The three-axis gimbal absorbs every jostle so your footage stays locked. Adjust pan and tilt speed mid-shot with the 5D joystick, without taking your hand off the camera.

ActiveTrack 7.0

Tracks subjects to 4× zoom

Set it down and step in front. ActiveTrack 7.0 keeps you sharp from 1× to 4× zoom, even as you move across the frame. A wave starts it. A tap locks it. Register up to three subjects so it always knows who to follow.

Storage

107GB built-in, 800 MB/s out

Leave the card kit at home. 107GB is already in the camera. When you get back, dump everything to your laptop over Wi-Fi 6 in minutes. 220 minutes of 4K/60fps. No fussing. Just shoot.

OsmoAudio

4-channel audio output

Interview two people at once, or run a lav and a backup. Four channels split across two tracks so your audio is always recoverable in post. No more choosing between mic and ambient.

Intelligent focusing

Locks on. Never lets go.

Walk toward the camera. Step sideways. Turn around. This pocket gimbal camera stays on you. Registered Subject Priority means it knows your face from the background before you press record. The two new physical buttons snap to 4× zoom or trigger a preset without breaking your flow. The content creator camera that works as hard as you do.

Vlog. Travel. Family. Life.

Small enough for anything.

Lighter than a water bottle. At 190.5 g and 144 mm long, this 4K vlogging camera disappears into a jacket pocket and reappears as a cinema rig. From the Whitsundays to a Sydney laneway, it goes where full-size cameras can’t. The 2″ OLED flips for portrait mode in one move. Hyperlapse, Timelapse, and Motionlapse are all built in.

10× precision. Handcrafted in Absam, Austria. Everything Swarovski stands for — in the binocular you can carry every single day.

Compact & Light — at 10×

Pull the horizon closer. Go anywhere.

10× in 500 g. Austrian-made optics that bring distant detail into sharp relief, with the SWAROTOP and SWARODUR multi-coatings birders rely on for colour fidelity from dawn to dusk.

SWAROTOP & SWARODUR coatings

90% light transmission. No compromise at 10×.

Swarovski’s proprietary SWAROTOP and SWARODUR multi-coatings on every optical surface extract maximum brightness from the 30 mm objective. Distant birds snap into rich, colour-accurate detail — in a body that weighs barely over a pound.

Close focus

3

metres minimum focus. A 10× binocular that also handles butterflies, dragonflies, and wildflowers at arm’s length.

Eyeglass-friendly

14 mm eye relief.

Full field of view with or without glasses. Twist-up eyecups lock to position.

Waterproof

Sealed to 4 m depth.

Nitrogen-filled for permanent fog resistance. Built for coastal spray, tropical rain, and cold highland mornings.

Field of view

6.6° angle of view.

99 m at 1,000 m. Spacious for 10× power, letting you track moving birds and follow fast-changing wildlife scenarios.

Austrian craftsmanship

The compact 10× that travels. Without the compromise.

Most 10× binoculars require 42 mm or larger objectives to maintain brightness. The CL Companion 10×30 achieves 90% light transmission in a body that slips into a jacket pocket — a feat made possible by Swarovski’s decades of Austrian optical engineering and SWAROTOP multi-coatings across every lens surface.

Nitrogen-filled and sealed to 4 m depth for all-weather reliability. Available in Mountain Green, Desert Orange, and Safari Brown. Compatible with the Swarovski VPA 2 phone adapter for digiscoping.

Three colourways

Your environment. Your colour.

Mountain Green, Desert Orange, Safari Brown. Three colourways inspired by the habitats this binocular was designed to reveal. The optics are identical across all three.

The world’s best compact binocular. Handcrafted in Absam, Austria. Light enough to carry everywhere. Sharp enough to demand nothing less.

Compact & Light — by design

Brilliant optics. Nothing unnecessary.

The CL Companion 8×30 distils Swarovski’s Austrian craftsmanship to its essence: exceptional optical performance in a roof-prism body that slips into a day pack without a second thought.

SWAROTOP & SWARODUR coatings

Bright from first light to last. Every surface coated.

Swarovski’s proprietary SWAROTOP and SWARODUR multi-coatings on every optical surface push light transmission to 90%. The result is a rich, colour-accurate image that remains bright from dawn chorus to dusk chorus, with far less eye strain than cheaper binoculars.

Close focus

3

metres minimum focus. Dragonflies, butterflies, orchids — the CL Companion brings the closest subjects into razor-sharp relief.

Eyeglass-friendly

16 mm eye relief.

Full field of view whether you wear glasses or not. Twist-up eyecups lock to your preferred position.

Waterproof

Sealed to 4 m depth.

Nitrogen-filled to prevent internal fogging. Ready for coastal spray, tropical downpours, and misty highland mornings.

Wide field of view

132 m at 1,000 m.

An 8° real field of view is wide for a compact binocular. Find fast-moving birds instantly and hold them in frame — exactly what a birder needs on the move.

Austrian craftsmanship

Made to be used every day. Not saved for the trip.

The CL Companion has been Swarovski Optik’s most beloved compact binocular since its introduction — and the reason is simple. It is light enough that you stop noticing it. Bright enough that you never wish for more. Sharp enough to hold up against binoculars twice its size.

Rubber armour over a rigid aluminium housing. Available in Mountain Green, Desert Orange, and Safari Brown — three colourways named for the environments this binocular was built to reveal.

ZEISS Conquest Apia 65

$2,199.00

The compact and lightweight spotting scope for detailed bird watching.

Premium Optics with HD Concept

The ZEISS Conquest Apia 65 is the ideal spotting scope for nature and bird watchers who want to combine lightness and compact design with outstanding optical performance when on the move. It is a reliable companion on long and mobile observation tours. Thanks to its HD optics concept, it delivers clear, high-contrast images across the entire field of view, and its 20–50x zoom range allows you to see both a wide overview and the finest details.

The high light transmission of 87% ensures reliable observations even in low light conditions. Ergonomic focus and zoom wheels make operation easy, while the robust housing with non-slip armouring protects the optics and the LotuTec® coating allows water and dirt to simply roll off.

Compact and Lightweight

Designed for those who are always on the move, the Conquest Apia's slim, lightweight body fits effortlessly into any pack. Whether you're glassing a hillside at dawn or scanning a wetland from the edge of a hide, this scope won't slow you down. Its compact proportions belie the full-sized optical performance within.

Premium Optics with HD Concept

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.

In addition, compatibility with the ZEISS Digiscoping Adapter allows you to take photos and videos with your smartphone for nature documentation and birdwatching.
