Vixen SLV 50° Eyepiece 25mm (1.25'')

This set, consisting of an excellent 102-mm ED apochromat and the modern iEXOS-100 PMC-Eight GoTo mount, provides first-class sky observations and astrophotography at the highest level. The telescope, with a polystrehl value of 0.97, delivers impressive colour purity, excellent contrast, and razor-sharp images. Additionally, the optical system stands out with its lightweight and compact design and versatile usability. The iEXOS-100 mount, with its Wi-Fi GoTo system and precise PMC-Eight tracking, ensures accurate tracking and easy control via the app. A high-quality 8x50 illuminated finder with upright image and a 62° LER eyepiece with 26 mm focal length and Argon filling are also included in the package. This is the perfect equipment for demanding hobby astronomers and astrophotographers! The Telescope Highly corrected 102mm triplet apochromat (three lenses) with a carbon fibre tube and 2.5'' HEXAFOC precision focuser. Apochromats in the small and medium aperture range are unparalleled: the combination of portability, extremely high image contrast, and sharpness, along with excellent astrophotography capabilities, make these instruments unbeatable. Advances in glass manufacturing have made high-quality apochromats accessible to more buyers. With the new Explore Scientific FCD-100 CF Hex, this development has reached a new peak – the colour purity of this device sets new standards in this price range. The optical design achieves a polystrehl value of 0.97, a mark of excellent correction. This outstanding apochromat is versatile: the fast f/7 focal ratio allows short exposure times in astrophotography, while the high image sharpness and excellent contrast enable both wide-field observations, such as of the North America Nebula or the Andromeda Galaxy, and sharp planetary observations. It is extremely light and compact – the dew shield can be slid in to save space. Modern glass and precise manufacturing make this a top-level observation tool, providing pure enjoyment. This telescope is highly recommended not only for travel but also for quick observations and astrophotography. The high-quality 2.5'' HEXAFOC focuser with 1:10 reduction completes the package – with a large free diameter of 65mm, there is no vignetting, even when using larger camera sensors. The Mount The iEXOS-100 is a high-quality astronomical mount with practical Wi-Fi GoTo functionality and the revolutionary EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC PMC-Eight™ tracking. It makes sky navigation, finding objects, and precise tracking easy. The control is operated via the free ExploreStars app for Windows, Android, and iOS, comfortably through your laptop or tablet. Additionally, the free ASCOM POTH Client from EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC (wired or wireless) is available for download, enabling you to work with virtually any sky software supporting the ASCOM standard. Precise tracking and intuitive control The German equatorial design of the iEXOS-100 allows for precise tracking, enabling observers to keep an object centred in the eyepiece for extended periods. This helps astrophotographers overcome typical long-exposure challenges, such as field rotation and star trails. The unique strength of the PMC-Eight™ system lies in its eight independently operating CPUs, offering excellent responsiveness, efficiency, and extremely accurate tracking to compensate for Earth's rotation. The intuitive user interface of the ExploreStars app makes telescope alignment and night sky navigation easy, providing interesting information about tens of thousands of celestial objects, which are regularly updated. Versatile equipment for easy, universal use Other advantages of the mount include easy-to-use axis clamps, a stepless polar height adjustment, and a polar alignment tunnel for quick alignment with Polaris. A built-in bubble level helps level the tripod. Multiple fluorescent elements on the mount and tripod make it easier to navigate in the dark. The attachment of optics is done via a standard GP dovetail, making the iEXOS-100 a universally applicable mount.

Explore Scientific 82° Series™ extreme wide field eyepieces are optimized to produce high contrast, high resolution, and superior flat field characteristics. The visual effect of these eyepieces with their long eye-relief and their 82° apparent field is truly a full-immersion experience. Your eye is relaxed, allowing you to easily use the "averted vision" technique to study faint details across a huge field-of-view. The 82° Series eyepieces come with a twist-up rubber eye-guard that raise to the desired height for the comfort of the observer, and as experienced astronomers know, eye comfort is critical when trying to observe at the visual limits of the telescope. To keep internal reflections to a minimum, all internal surfaces of the eyepiece barrel are flat black, as well as the edges of the lenses themselves to minimize the scattering of light within the lenses themselves. All 82° Series eyepieces are fully multi-coated and edge-blackened to produce maximum contrast.

Take a look through the new Vixen BT-81S-A binoculars. You will be impressed when you use them to observe gas nebula, star clusters or comets. The magnesium fluoride coating reduces chromatic aberration and the large aperture of 81 mm ensures a razor-sharp, contrast-rich image. The BT-81S-A binocular telescope set weighs 4.1 kg, is portable and also exceptionally suited for nature observations. FEATURES Objective lenses: 81 mm 2-lens achromat, multi-coated Focal length: 480 mm (f5.9) Resolution and limiting magnitude: 1.43 arc seconds; 11.3 Light-gathering power: 134x Dimensions and weight: 480 x 190 x 155 mm; 4.1 kg Adapter and connections: 31.7 mm sockets WHAT’S INCLUDED Binoculars 80 mm Carry handle Viewfinder Dew caps
