Vixen Apochromatic refractor AP 103/825 ED AX103S OTA (15053)

The Vixen AX103S is an f/8.0 apochromatic refractor with a three-element objective lens, including a central ED lens. This advanced optical design reduces chromatic aberration and delivers high-contrast images. The built-in rear field corrector lens ensures sharp, clear images all the way to the edges of the field of view. Precision multi-coating on the lenses guarantees excellent light transmission. The dual speed focuser allows both coarse and fine focusing for precise adjustments.
