The Astrozap AZ-113 Flexi-Shield® is a felt-lined flexible dew shield built specifically for the Meade 12" Schmidt-Cassegrain. It stops dew forming on the corrector plate and blocks stray light, letting you observe and image for longer with better contrast.
How it improves your observing
The corrector plate on a 12" SCT is a large, exposed optical surface that radiates heat to the night sky and attracts dew fast. The Flexi-Shield extends the optical tube forward, trapping warmer air near the glass and shielding the optics from ambient light pollution and moonlight.
Features
- Passive dew protection with no power required
- Felt lining absorbs moisture and kills internal reflections
- Premium ABS polymer construction
- Padded VELCRO® Brand closure for a snug, finish-safe fit
- Rolls up for transport to star parties and remote sites
Compatible telescopes

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.
Ten times closer. Still fits in a jacket pocket.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
P40 phase-correction coating on BAK4 roof prisms for sharp, accurate colour reproduction.
15 mm eye relief with two-click twist-up eyecups, comfortable for spectacle wearers.
Diopter adjustment ±4 dpt for precise individual eye compensation.
Waterproof to 5 m depth; nitrogen-filled to prevent internal fogging in all conditions.
Aluminium body with non-slip rubber armour; 110 × 112 × 40 mm, 359 g.
Minimum focus distance of 2 m. Interpupillary distance 37–84 mm. Launched April 2026.
Includes neoprene carrying strap, eyepiece cover, and Cordura case with belt loop.
Engineered and built in Germany. Available in rubber armour or leather finish.
Technical specifications.
A century of German glass. Distilled into 359 g.
The Noctivid Compact 10×25 carries the optical philosophy and manufacturing precision of every Leica instrument before it — resolving power, colour truth, and contrast fidelity that the Leica name has stood for since the first glass left Solms.
Leica Noctivid Compact 10×25 binoculars, backed by Bintel since 1958.
The night sky, at f/2.2.
The smallest Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph ever built. Ultra-fast prime-focus optics, sub-arcsecond resolution and 3.8 kg of grab-and-go portability for serious deep-sky astrophotography, anywhere.
Professional optics. In a body you can carry with one hand.
Patented Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt architecture.
The RASA places the camera at prime focus, the same position used by professional wide-field survey telescopes. No secondary mirror, no Barlow, no lost light. More photons reach your sensor, in less time.
Since RASA technology debuted in 2014, defence contractors, professional researchers and governments have relied on it for space surveillance and satellite tracking. The RASA 6 delivers that same proven design in a portable package.
- Schmidt corrector plate and primary mirror minimise optical aberrations across the field
- Three-element rare-earth glass lens group ensures sharp, flat focus edge-to-edge
- Spot size under 1.5 μm RMS across the full image circle
NGC 6888. The Crescent Nebula.
Captured with the RASA 6 and an astronomical CMOS camera. Short sub-exposures stack into stunning images in a fraction of the time needed by slower instruments.
Four reasons it’s unlike anything else in its class.
Speed, resolution, portability and field of view, all engineered into one compact prime-focus astrograph.
Lightning-fast astrophotography at f/2.2.
The RASA 6’s blazing focal ratio dramatically shortens sub-exposure times. Faint deep-sky objects that would take hours with a typical refractor can be captured in a fraction of that time. Paired with live-stacking software, bright detailed images appear on your screen in just minutes. In many conditions you can image without an autoguider, simplifying your entire setup.
Sub-arcsecond potential.
Despite its compact size the 152 mm aperture delivers a Dawes resolution of 0.76 arc seconds. Pair it with a high-resolution CMOS camera in steady seeing and you will resolve fine structure in galaxies, nebulae and star clusters that smaller instruments cannot touch. The flat field means stars stay sharp from the centre all the way to the corner of the sensor.
Grab-and-go, genuinely.
At 3.8 kg the RASA 6 is light enough to carry with one hand and fits in a bag alongside your mount. The CG-5 dovetail means it drops straight onto most mid-range tracking mounts without adapters. Chase dark skies without compromising on optical performance. This is the astrograph you will actually take with you.
Wide field without sacrifice.
The RASA 6 is designed for sensors up to 22 mm diagonal, delivering a useable field of 3.76°. Wide enough to frame the Orion Nebula, the Pleiades and large emission nebulae in a single shot. Off-axis illumination of 91% at 8 mm means the field stays bright from edge to edge, reducing processing time on flats and vignette correction.
StarBright XLT. Maximum light throughput.
Every refractive and reflective surface is treated with Celestron’s proprietary StarBright XLT multi-layer coating. The result is exceptional light transmission and superior field illumination across the full wavelength range from 400 to 700 nm.
The RASA design outperforms a Schmidt-Cassegrain in Fastar-style configuration for field illumination. Less vignette, less processing, more imaging.
M42. The Orion Nebula.
IMX183C colour CMOS camera. 60 × 2 min exposures plus 20 × 15 sec exposures for the bright core. The wide field and fast optics of the RASA 6 capture the full extent of the nebula in a single frame.
Everything the modern astroimager needs, integrated.
A filter drawer, a cooling fan, a camera adapter and a CG-5 dovetail. Ready to image, straight out of the box.
1.25″ and 2″ filters. Without slowing you down.
The built-in filter drawer accepts both 1.25″ and 2″ filters. A removable 2″ clear optical window ships as standard. Unlike many fast astrographs, swapping in a filter adds no extra glass to the optical path, so f/2.2 performance is fully preserved.
Thermal equilibrium, fast.
The integrated 12V DC MagLev fan pulls air through mesh vents to rapidly cool the optical system to ambient temperature. Sharper stars and better images from the moment you start. The fan battery pack is included.
Plug a CMOS camera straight in.
The included M42 T-thread camera adapter attaches most popular astronomical CMOS cameras directly to the RASA 6 without extension tubes. The 42 mm clear aperture comfortably accommodates sensors up to 22 mm diagonal. Back focus with the included adapter is 17.5 mm.
Mount-ready, no adapters.
The CG-5 dovetail bar is compatible with a wide range of tracking mounts straight out of the box. No adapters, no Vixen-to-Losmandy conversions. Ready to image as soon as you saddle up. For maximum performance, add the optional Celestron Focus Motor for electronic focus control.
