无论您是观鸟者、体育迷还是仅仅喜欢外出享受大自然,Vixen ATREA II H14x42WP 双筒望远镜都能为您提供清晰、稳定的视野,而不会出现高倍双筒望远镜常常出现的抖动。
内置图像稳定功能
双筒望远镜携带方便,是观察周围世界的理想方式。但有一个问题是,当你增加放大倍数以拉近距离时,任何振动、手抖和动作也会被放大。这意味着你必须集中精力稳住双筒望远镜,而不是只是欣赏风景。
Vixen ATREA II H14x42WP 双筒望远镜采用 2 轴万向节控制图像稳定机制,解决了图像抖动问题。这使得它们能够有效地补偿振动校正角度(所有方向)下 +/- 3 度的图像偏移,并提供稳定的双筒望远镜视野。即使是微小的振动也能得到成功控制,您将能够享受观察鸟眼中的光芒和鸟羽毛的细节。
对于天文学来说也很有用!
由于图像稳定功能,您在夜间将能够看到普通双筒望远镜难以看到的暗淡星星和天文物体。
两种图像稳定模式 - 移动物体和远距离观看
双筒望远镜配备两种防震模式,可根据您的需要进行选择:
- V1 模式:吸收小振动和抖动。(当您想要观察移动物体时,最好使用此模式。)
- V2 模式:吸收缓慢移动的较大振动。(当您想欣赏静止物体时,最好使用此模式。)
多层镀膜光学元件
镜头各面均镀有多层防反射镀膜,棱镜采用相位镀膜,减少光晕,提高分辨率,并采用高反射镀膜,这三种光学镀膜彻底消除杂散光和光损失,实现极其明亮清晰的视野。
使用标准 AAA 电池可续航 12 小时
电源使用两节 AAA 电池。任何 Coles、Woolies、7-11 商店或各地的伺服器都可以买到 AAA 电池。这意味着您可以带着 ATERA II H14x42WP 去参加当地活动,或者带着它们去全国各地旅行,因为您知道您总能找到新电池。
防水的
ATERA II H14x42WP 双筒望远镜具有 IPX4 防水等级,这意味着它们可以在潮湿的环境中使用,而不必担心潮湿造成损坏。

The Vixen Optics T-Ring Adapter for Nikon Digital SLR is meant for use with their various methods of mounting SLR cameras to the rear of their telescopes, but obviously they can be used for anyone who has a T-mount system lens and wants to mate it to their SLR camera without any real trouble.
Many, if not most, of the inexpensive T-mounts will get stuck to the camera or lose adhesion to the lens; with the Vixen Optics models, the superior workmanship really limits the incidence of these kind of annoyances. The T-mount lens and T-mount combination will only work on the camera with the camera in the "M" manual exposure mode. Additionally, the most advanced metering modes usually don't work with the T-mount.

For observation of faint nebulae and star clusters in a wide and bright field of view
The 130mm aperture Newtonian reflector with excellent light gathering power is ideal for observation of faint nebulae and star clusters, particularly for beginners who wish to start astronomical life with a large aperture excellent in light gathering power. It is equipped with a motor for tracking.
AP-SM Equatorial mount
The Advanced Polaris (AP) mount is ideal for beginners learning to use an equatorial mount, as well as experienced observers looking for a simple, grab-and-go setup. It securely supports your telescope's optical tube, providing a stable and comfortable observing experience. Thanks to its friction control system, the mount can be quickly and smoothly moved to your target object. A wide range of optional accessories is available to customize the AP mount to suit your observing needs..
R.A. Motor module and STAR BOOK ONE Set
The AP-SM equatorial mount comes equipped with the RA motor module and the STAR BOOK ONE set, which includes the main motor for celestial tracking and the STAR BOOK ONE controller. This set forms the core of the AP mount system. You can customize and expand your setup by adding additional modules to the RA motor module and STAR BOOK ONE base.
Stylish design
The new stylish and compact design helps break the stereotype of astronomical telescopes being bulky and difficult to use. Weighing just 3.6 kg (excluding the counterweight), the mount is lightweight and easy to handle—even with full-scale astronomical telescopes. The power supply, using four AA batteries, is built into the body, and the use of internal electrical contacts eliminates the need for external wiring that was previously exposed.
Friction control system
Simply point the target objects by moving the optical tube by hands. The friction control system allows you to manually point the telescope at the object without using knobs and clamps.
Simple polar alignment
The optional polar meter can be attached on the equatorial mount for simple polar alignment. Even beginners can quickly align polar axis. For precision alignment, the polar axis scope is usually used, but the polar meter can outperforms especially where Polaris is not visible.
Polar alignment scope PF-L
The PF-L polar alignment scope features a three-star alignment system and a built-in dark field illuminator, allowing you to perform polar alignment while looking directly through the scope. The illumination automatically turns off to conserve power.
To complement the PF-L, we provide a free app called "PFL Assist" for smartphones and tablets. This app supports polar alignment by visually indicating the correct star positions within the displayed constellation.
Power supply system focusing on mobility and comfort
The motor module operates with 4 pieces of the AA batteries which are commercially available anywhere easily, not only corresponding to the alkaline battery but also economical rechargeable batteries (Ni-MH, Ni-Cd). For long term use, a commercially available USB external power supply such as USB mobile battery or USB AC adapter can be used connecting to the provided USB Micro-B terminal.
R130Sf Newton reflector
The 130mm aperture newton reflector which is excellent in light gathering power is ideal for observation of faint nebulae and star clusters in a wide and bright field of view.
APP-TL130 tripod
The compact APP-TL130 tripod is adjustable from 60 cm to 130 cm, combining the portability of a photographic tripod with the strength of an astronomical telescope tripod. The tripod’s feet can be switched between rubber pads and metal spikes, preventing damage to floors when used indoors.

Vixen Telescope Wireless Unit Description
-
Comfortable wireless celestial navigation
By installing the smartphone app "STAR BOOK Wireless" on your smartphone or tablet, you can use it as a controller for your equatorial mount.
In addition to controlling the astronomical telescope, you can enjoy functions such as celestial navigation comfortably without cables. -
Stree-free fast response
The possible response delay in the operation of equatorial mount, which could be a drawback in wireless connections, has been successfully suppressed to a level comparable to wired connections(*), leading to stress-free and comfortable operation. (*)
A possible operational delay depends on the einvornment of wireless LAN connection. -
Reducing power consumption
Compared to conventional controllers with LCD monitors, power consumption is reduced by up to approximately 20% for the entire equatorial mount.
You will feel be assured even during long astronomical observations. -
Inheriting the DNA of STAR BOOK TEN Controller
If you tap the celestial object you want to see on the star chart, it will be automatically slew into the field of view and tracking will start.
Following the display of the STAR BOOK TEN controller, which has been highly evaluated for its comfortable operability, even existing STAR BOOK TEN users can use it without any discomfort. -
Swipe with one finger! Comfortable operation while looking through the telescope
Operate the telescope by swiping on the app's star chart. Since there are no buttons, you simply slide your finger over the star chart to comfortably operate without taking look at the screen while looking through telescope.
-
Rich celestial data
In addition to various data on famous celestial objects that are easy to observe (Messier, NGC, IC objects), it also includes the sun, moon, planets (including dwarf planets), it supports tracking of the respective celestial objects.
-
High-precision slewing by alignment
Performing alignment* at three or more points on the stars visible during observation realizes higher slewing accuracy.
The acquired alignment data will be stored and kept even after power is turned off.
Alignment data can be deleted at your opiton. If the telescope is not moved, you can resume automatic slewing using the same settings.
*Alignment is the process of matching the position information on the celestial coordinates stored by the app with the actual position of the star (visual position). -
Display settings of celestial objects
You can customize the display of celestial body types, names, etc, intended to ensure better visibility within the limited screen of the controller.
You can also set the timing of Meridian crossover, even the target celestial object goes south during tracking and shooting avoiding unintended optical tube reversal. -
