Vixen ED103S Refractor with GPD2 Mount, HAL 130 Tripod and NLV 25mm Eyepiece

These are Vixen's top-line APO refractors: made with new ED "eco glass" and are lead and arsenic free. These scopes have faster focal ratios and a more compact length compared to the prior ED 103S telescope. The new optics are especially good at suppressing the dispersion of violet light, this avoids halos and blooming around images of bright stars.

Coupled with a medium f/7.7 focal ratio, the ED "S" series provide a sharp, color-free image of high contrast for both visual and photographic applications. The big Vixen 60mm drawtube means these refractors can handle the full line of Vixen drawtube accessories. Vixen finishing touches include standard flip-mirror, carry handle, and focus tension/lock.

The ED 103S comes standard with a 7x50mm finder, 2" eyepiece adapter, dual T-thread flip-mirror with dual 1.25" eyepiece adapters, 115mm tube rings, carry handle and dovetail tube plate. Included classic Vixen Great Polaris Deluxe (GPD2) equatorial mount can hold almost 30 lbs, and is upgradeable with optional dual-axis motors.
