AX103S optical tube assembly.
The advanced optical design delivers crystal-clear, sharp, and high-contrast images with no visible chromatic aberration (false color). Star images remain exceptionally small—down to 20 microns—even at the edge of the imaging field. Premium AS (Advanced Super) coatings are applied to each lens surface, enhancing visible light transmission to 99.5% per surface (within the 400nm–700nm wavelength range), ensuring exceptionally high overall light transmission.
