Vixen DED108SS astrograph refractor - an early attempt by Vixen to chip away at the Takahashi FSQ market. 108mm air spaced quadruplet Petzval-Nagler system. EXTREME field flatness (most images I take show around a 0.43% curvature - call it flat
). Massive 4" drawtube, with unusual Vixen focuser - very similar to the FSQ focuser. R&P, with 2 locking knobs for ultimate security. Retractable dew shield. Will be supplied with a visual back (visual is darned nice with this one, showing incredible colour and contrast), a custom made photo adapter cone, a custom made 4" dia. spacer, and also a 1/25" adapter. Additionally, will include a Vixen 6x30 finder, and a custom made aluminium storage case. These scopes are incredibly rare. It is also one of the earlier costlier examples of this breed of scope. Colour correction is superb. Weight is 6kg for the bare OTA.
