Vixen Fluorite FL55SS Refractor Telescope

High-performance, top-of-the-range fluorite apochromat for mobile astrophotography and observers.

Thanks to its small size and lightweight design, this high-quality fluorite refractor is ideal for excursions and air travel.

It displays razor-sharp and bright stars across the entire field of view of the full-frame image sensor (95% illumination with 44 mm image circle).

The FL55SSS turns into a fast F/4.3 astrograph with the optional flattener and focal reducer. It allows you to use extremely short exposure times and provides a large field of view for large nebulae or comets.

Despite the small aperture, the FL55SS features a high-resolution HR eyepiece that produces stunningly clear images of the moon and the bright planets.

When used for astrophotography, it delivers razor-sharp images of stars that are guaranteed to impress.

1. 55mm diameter fluorite objective lens: The Vixen Fluorite FL55SS Refractor Telescope features a 55mm diameter fluorite objective lens, which provides clear and bright images with minimal chromatic aberrations. Fluorite is a type of high-quality glass that is prized for its ability to correct chromatic aberrations, making it an ideal material for the objective lens of a telescope.

2. Compact and lightweight design: This telescope has a compact and lightweight design, making it easy to carry and set up in the field. This makes it ideal for amateur astronomers who want to take their telescope to different observing locations.

3. Minimal chromatic aberrations: The use of a fluorite objective lens helps to minimize chromatic aberrations, which are colored fringes around objects in the field of view. This results in clearer and more detailed images.

4. 2-speed focuser: The telescope includes a 2-speed focuser, which allows for fine-tuning the focus. This makes it easier to achieve a sharp and clear image of the object being observed.

5. Vixen-style dovetail plate: The telescope features a Vixen-style dovetail plate, which allows for easy attachment to a mount. This provides a stable platform for observing and tracking celestial objects as they move across the sky.

6. Ideal for amateur astronomers and photography enthusiasts: The Vixen Fluorite FL55SS Refractor Telescope is ideal for amateur astronomers and photography enthusiasts who are looking for a portable and versatile instrument for exploring the night sky.

7. Portable and versatile: With its compact and lightweight design, this telescope is portable and versatile, making it suitable for use in different observing environments.

8. High-quality optical performance: The use of a fluorite objective lens and other high-quality components results in a telescope with excellent optical performance, providing clear and bright images of celestial objects.

9. Clear and bright images: The combination of the 55mm diameter fluorite objective lens, minimal chromatic aberrations, and other features results in clear and bright images of celestial objects, making it an ideal instrument for astronomical observations.
