目視觀測和星野攝影 最佳高品質日本製 天文用APO 鏡筒
國外一位資深的天文觀測者,一篇純目視觀測眼光來看待這部Vixen 10公分APO 的鏡筒感想和推崇.Location: Lincolnshire
Posted December 23, 2015
I've wanted a premium ED refractor for a while, having had a couple of Celestron ED100s in the past, which were optically good but not great buildwise.
I've always liked Vixen glass and have had a couple of their old SP achromats which were lovely scopes and much better built. So I had high hopes of the ED103s, and having done my research ( there is not a huge amount of info on the web, but what there is is very good regarding the optics, I've seen it said in one report that the ED103s optics are as good as the renowned Fluorite FL102F9 - praise indeed), I decided to take the plunge.
The scope is the latest model, completely made in Japan, with dual speed Rack and Pinion 2" focuser, and is c18months old. It's in superb condition and the build is all I hoped it would be, significantly above the Synta Chinese Apo doublets but not quite a Tak either.
The tube is very lightweight and, for someone like me who is a long time traditional long frac fan, seems quite short (the scope is F7.7)..it's quite a wide tube at 115mm and there are 3 metal baffles inside the tube, which is painted a very nice dark matt grey/black inside.
The dewshield, like the tube, is aluminium and a nlce snug push fit.
The tube is painted high gloss white (my favourite scope colour!), and the paint is smoother and thicker than on my Chinese AR127l. The whole scope feels a quality unit, as it should, costing around £1400 when new.
The scope came without rings, handle and dovetail as the seller was keeping these for his new Tak. So I ordered new ones direct from Vixen as I wanted them fast, and received them the day after I ordered them - superb service 3 days before Christmas!
I've popped a 6x30 finder on for now ( I will add a white one soon) and mounted the scope on my CG4 on a Tal wooden tripod, very solid but not heavy at all (which suits my aging bones!:-).
I'll post a first light if we ever get a clear Moonless night again.
So far, I'm delighted with this lovely scope.
