Vixen ED103SWT Telescope

The Vixen ED103SWT OTA SX-Trim APO Telescope 2609 is a serious apochromatic refractor - meaning it gives much better correction of chromatic and spherical aberration than does the standard refractor lens. Given the price of this model (around 2100 dollars, after discounts), this is a highly-appreciated feature. It's also a serious telescope for serious planetary viewing.

Additionally, and this is really nice, considering its relative size, it can go after the brighter deep sky objects that many telescopes in this price range are incapable of finding. It also can be easily set up and will allow for taking it along on many a trip due to its size. It should be said that the Vixen ED103SWT OTA-SX trim APO telescope doesn't come with a mount.

This Vixen is able to offer better chromatic correction and practical elimination of spherical aberration because of extra-low dispersion glass in its lens. This reduces aberration to almost invisible levels, which is an extremely strong point in its favor, as it allows for better resolution and excellent color at any level of magnification which its user may dial in.

Another fine feature of the Vixen ED103SWT telescope is that viewing is available either straight forward or at a 90 degree angle that's made possible by the supplied flip mirror system. It also comes with a 7x50 finder and a handy carry handle in addition to a dovetail tube plate that allows for easy mounting onto a good tripod mount.

Given its price tag - which is quite reasonable for a model with so many features - the ED103SWT OTA SX-Trim Vixen telescope delivers quite a lot of nighttime star gazing and crystal clear viewing with little to no aberration. It can be set up fairly easily and it can also travel just as easily. All in all, it's a top-performing telescope that's sure to please even the most exacting amateur astronomer.
