Vixen - ED115S 115mm ED Apochromatic Refractor Telescope Package

with Sphinx Mount

The newly designed high definition ED lens on the ED115S 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 ED115S lenses
are made with environment-friendly technologies, 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 ED115S 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.
