Vixen FL55ss fluorite refractor
Light, high quality telescope for mobile astrophotographers and observers. Extremely sharp and bright stars right up to the edge of the full-frame image sensor (95% illumination with 44 mm image circle). The FL55SS turns into a fast F / 4.3 astrograph with the optional flattener and focal reducer.

Despite its small aperture, the FL55SS delivers amazingly clear views of the moon and bright planets with a high-resolution HR eyepiece. The focus position is also designed for the use of 1.25 "zenith prisms or acceptance prisms.

With the slide bar M prism rails you can also adapt the Apo to mounts with GP / EQ-5 level. If you adapt a prism clamp between the rail and the photo tripod or telescope, you can bring the APO into balance, which makes sense for heavier accessories (camera, eyepieces ..).
