Fluorite lens
A fluorite lens with less chromatic aberration is used to create a sharp image with less color bleeding.
Vixen standard Arimizo, equipped with camera tripod screw
Equipped with slide bar M. It can be mounted as it is on a stand with Vixen standard Arimizo such as AP series and SX series. Equipped with 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch screws. It can be mounted on a commercially available camera tripod.
Compatible with finder (sold separately)
Equipped with screws compatible with the Arimizo finder pedestal (sold separately). Compatible with the separately sold finder (finder legs).
Features
Compact photo visual lens barrel
A very compact photo visual lens barrel equipped with a fluorite lens.
In combination with the high-resolution HR series eyepiece, it demonstrates high visual performance despite its small aperture and short focus. Especially when observing the moon and planets, you can get a higher-grade powerful image.
It can also be used as a high-performance astro camera by using a dedicated flattener lens and reducer lens (sold separately) together. It creates a sharp image over the entire field of a full-frame SLR camera.
