Vixen SDP Focal Reducer 0,8x

The Vixen SDP65SS is a compact astrograph that delivers exceptional imaging quality at a more accessible price than the VSD telescope series. Designed specifically for astrophotography, this telescope features a four-element, four-group optical system incorporating both an SD (Super ED) lens and an ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lens. The result is outstanding image performance comparable to that of the VSD series. Thanks to its compact size and retractable dew cap, the telescope is an ideal travel companion for mobile astrophotographers. Purpose-built for astrophotographyThe SDP65SS has been purpose-built for astrophotography and features four elements made from SD glass, high-refractive-index ED glass and lanthanum glass. The arrangement of the lenses is optimised for maximum performance, significantly reducing axial chromatic aberration and achieving the same level of astigmatism correction as the VSD telescope series.Exceptional image field flattening The optimised arrangement of the four lenses made from SD and ED glass achieves an exceptionally flat image plane without the need for an additional flattening lens. It provides a high degree of correction and produces distortion-free star images across the entire 44 mm illuminated field of view. Minimal vignettingTo reduce vignetting, the light beam is narrowed at the final lens element.Thanks to the optical design, vignetting is virtually eliminated, ensuring excellent edge illumination with almost any camera system. Over 90% of the light is captured at the edge of a 35 mm full-frame sensor, reducing the need for extensive image processing afterwards. Newly designed focuserFocusing is achieved via a rack-and-pinion system that moves the lens assembly forwards and backwards. As the focuser body itself remains stationary, there is no tilting, even when using heavy accessories or cameras. A built-in vernier scale provides a clear reference for focus position, marked in 0.1 mm increments. For even greater precision, an optional dual-speed focuser or a third-party ZWO EAF (electronic focuser) can be attached. Compact and lightweightMeasuring approximately 413 mm in length, or 359 mm with the dew cap retracted, the telescope is exceptionally portable—perfect for travel and field use.Optional reducer availableWith the optional SDP Focal Reducer 0.8x, the SDP65SS can capture images with a wider field of view and shorter exposure times. The focal length is reduced by a factor of 0.8, and the focal ratio decreases from f/5.5 to f/4.4.FEATURES Lens design: 4-group 4-element SD (Super ED) apochromat, multi-coated Aperture: 65 mm Focal length: 360 mm (F5.5) Resolving power: 1.78 arc seconds Limiting magnitude: 10.8 Light-gathering power: 86x Illumination: 44 mm to over 90% in the image corners Tube length / diameter: 413 mm (359 mm dew cap retracted) / 90 mm Eyepiece focuser: Internal focusing, rack-and-pinion with scale Adapter thread: 60 mm (P=0.75 mm), 42 mm for T-ring Visual back: 31.7 mm connection Solar observation: For solar observation, a solar projection screen set B and an eyepiece are required (not included) Weight: 2.6 kgSCOPE OF DELIVERY Vixen SDP65SS Dovetail slide bar 1/4 inch screws (L: 19 mm) x 2 pieces, Allen key (3 mm, 2 mm, 1.5 mm, 3/16 inch)

The Vixen 60 mm to M48 camera adapter is used to mount an astronomical CMOS camera to Vixen telescopes with a 60 mm focuser. The adapter is suitable for cameras or accessories with an M48 × 0.75 internal thread. You can directly connect third-party CMOS cameras and other products with an M48 thread. (Depending on the CMOS camera, an extension tube (optional) may be required.) The adapter can be freely rotated by loosening the clamping screws to orient the image as desired. Using the optional M56 Filter Conversion Adapter 48/52, you can attach 48 mm / 52 mm third-party photographic filters. Note:When using the M56 Filter Conversion Adapter 48/52, the PH corrector, PH extender, Coma Corrector 3 and SDP Reducer cannot be used.  FEATURES Camera adapter: 60 mm to M48 Telescope side connection: 60 mm, P = 0.75 mm Accessory side (internal): M56 × 0.75 (female) Camera side (internal): M48 × 0.75 (female) Adapter: rotatable SCOPE OF DELIVERY 60 mm to M48 camera adapter

M54 Adapter Ring for adapting to 54 mm accessories (for use with the 60 mm to M48 camera adapter)Replace the inner ring of the 60 mm to M48 camera adapter (optional) to attach cameras or accessories with a 54 mm internal thread (M54 × 0.75). Ideal for full-frame CMOS cameras: When shooting with a full-frame sensor or a CMOS camera, the larger diameter helps minimise vignetting.With the optional M56 Filter Conversion Adapter 48/52, you can use standard 48 mm / 52 mm photographic filters. Note:When using the M56 Filter Conversion Adapter 48/52, the PH corrector, PH extender, Coma Corrector 3 and SDP Reducer cannot be used.  FEATURES Telescope-side connection (female): M56 × 0.75 (for filter mount/adapter ring) Camera-side connection (male): M54 × 0.75 Compatible with: 60 mm to M48 camera adapter Not usable with: Wide Photo Adapter 60DX and Wide Photo Adapter 60 mm Dimensions: Ø 68 × 12 mm Weight: 23 g SCOPE OF DELIVERY Vixen M54 Adapter Ring

Vixen 60DX Focal adaptor for Canon EOS Cameras This Vixen 60DX is a photographic adaptor for Canon EOS cameras, for use with telescopes with a 60 mm focuser drawtube connection thread. A redesign by Vixen uses new tougher materials for a more solid connection and also offers an accurate, well-machined camera rotator ring, in order to help frame your images perfectly. Camera-Adaptor for Canon EOS with 60mm Focuser connection thread Large inner diameter for full-format cameras, helping to minimise vignetting 6 locking 60° spaced bolts to hold the camera’s rotation in position Dimensions: 81mm x 30 mm / weight: 190g The option of using 6 long or 6 short fixing screws for the rotator The Vixen 60DA Focal adaptor connects your Canon EOS DSLR Camera to a telescope with an appropriate 60 mm Focuser Drawtube Thread. Thanks to the use of new materials and an improved design Vixen was able to considerably uprate both precision and durability, when compared to conventional rotational camera adaptors. Two sets of rotational locking bolts (Long and Short) are supplied. The longer ones are knurled and easy to turn by hand. The shorter options help to prevent marring of the camera casing, when using certain designs of camera and are also much less easy to turn by hand, increasing security if you need the camera locked in a particular rotational position for longer periods. The large inner dimension of this adaptor prevents vignetting at the edges of the image when using full frame DSLR cameras. Canon EOS-Bayonet fastener made of hardwearing brass, for years of hassle-free use. Increased material quality over conventional adapters provides more stability in use. 6 fixing bolts hold the camera in rotational position for increased sturdiness (standard rotators often only use 4, or less). FEATURES Screw tips with Delrin-tips prevent tilting of the camera and subsequent image distortion. Large inner diameter prevents vignetting. Inner blackening suppresses scattered light. Compatible with 60 mm accessories, when the camera adaptor is taken off. Two rotational bolt sets (Long and Short) are supplied. SCOPE OF DELIVERY 60DA Focal adaptor 6 long and 6 short fixing screws

The Vixen focal adapter can be used to connect your DSLR camera to your telescope via a 60-mm thread. The large internal diameter of the adapter prevents shadows at the edges of the image when using a full-frame DSLR camera. The focal adapter can also be rotated to rotate the field of view selection. Three locking screws are provided for clamping.Note: Vixen T2 ring also required for your Canon.
