The Vixen Optics AX103S 103mm f/8 Apo Refractor Telescope is an ideal optic for astronomy and astrophotography.

Optically, it's designed with a fully multi-coated 3-lens apochromatic extra-low dispersion (ED) glass lens system that corrects both spherical and chromatic aberrations. This correction creates a wide flat field of view without distortion and removes the blue-tinted "halo" effect for true high-contrast color transmission.

A rear field corrector lens further corrects astigmatism and distortion at the edges of the lens so views remain crisp and sharp from edge to edge.

An optional focal reducer can reduce the aperture ratio to 1:5.6 in order to provide quicker results for astrophotographers. The built-in field flattener lens provides a sharp image across the entire field of view – an essential requirement in astrophotography. The 60 mm ring on the focuser allows you to attach a 2’’ eyepiece and a camera adapter.

The AX103S is specially designed for photography, but also offers stunning visual performance, especially for observing the moon and the planets. The AX 103S is corrected for full-frame photography and provides razor-sharp pictures right into the corners of the image field.

This telescope is guaranteed to provide a lifetime of outstanding performance!
