Vixen ED81S Refractor Telescope Optical Tube with GPD2 Equatorial Mount and HAL-130 GP Aluminum Tripod, NLV 25mm Eyepiece.

These are Vixen's top-line APO refractors: are made with the 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 80S 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 81S comes standard with the red dot finder, 2" eyepiece adapter, dual T-thread flip-mirror with dual 1¼" eyepiece adapters, 90mm tube rings, carry handle and dovetail tube plate. Included classic Vixen Great Polaris Deluxe (GPD2) equatorial mount is rugged but lightweight, and will handle over 22 lbs.

The HAL130GP tripod has a usable height range from 26.5" to 44.5", and is designed for use with Vixen GP Series Mounts.
