Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Vixen ED103SWT, with Japanese ED optics, yields incredible deep sky and planetary views.

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 bright 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

Manufactured in Japan; Dimensions: 115mm x 800mm/ 4.5 x 31.5 in; Weight: 3.6kg/ 7.9 lbs

Easy to Use
The Vixen Universal Dovetail Plate allows you to mount the ED103SWT on a wide variety of mounts. Pair this with Vixen’s Sphinx SXD mount for the best GoTo experience.
