Vixen Optics A81M 81mm APO f/11 Refractor Telescope

Introducing the Vixen A81M 81mm Refractor Telescope, an ideal choice for budding stargazers seeking an accessible entry point into celestial observation.

This telescope combines portability, lightweight design, and user-friendliness to provide an exceptional experience for beginners.

The A81M features achromatic refractive optics with 81mm objective lenses, boasting a generous focal length of 910mm and an aperture ratio of 1:11.2.

This extended aperture ratio results in stunning, high-contrast, and true-color images, characteristic of achromatic telescopes.

With a remarkable 134x light-gathering capability compared to the human eye, this telescope promises an entirely fresh perspective on the nighttime sky.

Expect captivating views of the moon, planets, and brilliant deep-sky phenomena.

Weighing under 3 kilograms and measuring less than a meter in length, assembly is swift and effortless, making it suitable for both adults and children.

Crafted to meet rigorous Japanese quality standards and meticulous craftsmanship, this telescope is built to last.

The sizeable focuser, derived from our larger SD refractors, accommodates substantial cameras without causing unwanted movement.

Furthermore, the telescope includes a foldable mirror for observations under adverse conditions and a T2 thread for DSLR camera attachment, enhancing its versatility.

 


Features:

  • 81mm Objective Lens: The telescope's 81mm objective lens ensures enhanced light-gathering capability, allowing for brighter and more detailed views of celestial objects. This feature is especially advantageous for observing faint astronomical phenomena with clarity and precision.
  • 159x Highest Useful Magnification: With a highest useful magnification of 159x, this telescope offers detailed observations, enabling users to explore astronomical targets with clarity and precision. This magnification level provides versatility for observing various celestial objects, from the moon to distant galaxies.
