Description

The newly designed high definition ED lens on the ED103S gives excellent optical performance with 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. The new ED glass produces clear and high contrast viewing, virtually free of false color. The design uses newly developed, environmentally friendly glass technology, free of hazardous lead that helps to support a cleaner global environment.

 

The optical tube comes equipped with a metal carry handle for easy one-hand carrying.

 

The new lenses focus the full visible spectrum of visible light to a critical point much more accurately than past ED product. 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, carry handle and Vixen Dual Speed Focuser. Manufactured in Japan; Dimensions: 115mm x 800mm/ 4.5 x 31.5 in; Weight: 3.6kg/ 7.9 lbs

    Comments about Vixen ED103SWT Refractor OTA:

    Already owning a high-end [...] Optics scope - triplet air-spaced 110mm aperture, my aim in acquiring the Vixen product was to be able to complement my product range with a scope that was easy enough to set up and take outdoors whenever I felt like it. The Vixen scope quality is somewhat lower than that of the [...] Optics, but I was well aware of this before I made the purchase. However, the ED optics are just fine, although I must admit I haven't yet taken the Vixen scope to its limits. Combined with 70°FOV Pentax eyepieces, this scope performs very well. My cons would go to the plastic knobs that look slightly cheap to my mind, but which enable a precise adjustment though. You will certainly not make a mistake in buying this made-in Japan telescope !
