Vixen AP 103/795
The newly designed high definition ED lens in Vixen's ED103S gives excellent optical performance in a short optical tube for easy handling. The new ED lenses feature brighter images from the shorter f/7.7 focal ratio and capture crisp, pinpoint star images for your eye’s enjoyment. Vixen's ED glass produces clear and high contrast viewing, virtually free of false color. The design uses environmentally friendly glass technology, free of hazardous lead that helps to support a cleaner global environment.
Vixen's new lenses focus the full visible spectrum of visible light to a critical point much more accurately than past ED products. The ED103S lenses are almost free of chromatic aberration in all colors and are critically sharp edge to edge. The astro-photographer will be especially pleased with the high contrast images through this telescope. The ED103S comes complete with 90mm tube rings, compression ring, and Vixen Dual Speed Focuser.
GPD2 mounting
The GPD2 equatorial mount is the stronger and heftier of the GP mounts. With its solid steel R. A. and Declination axes and brass worm gears, this mount will hold up to years of heavy use. In order to assure accurate tracking for astrophotography the worm gears are especially machined to a very high precision that minimizes periodic error. The GPD2 Mount is equipped with a polar axis scope with a built in variable intensity illuminator. Add the D2M Motor Set for accurate Tracking.
