Vixen ED115S ED APO
This scope is the current flagship in the Vixen apochromat range. Made in Japan its a superior example of an ED refractor.
The focuser is Vixen rack and pinion but don't let that put you off as its a very nice example of a r&p and far superior to those commonly seen on Chinese refractors.
