Description: NRO is testing a new import sales model: buying brand new items at Japanese market prices and then sharing the savings with our customers. Here's the deal on this item: Vixen's main U.S. distributor is currently selling this telescope for $1399.95. Buy it from NRO for about $280 less than that price — a solid 20% discount.Another U.S. optics seller has this scope listed at $1,383 as a special-order item, with expected availability for shipping in "4 to 6 months"; buy from NRO and it ships in 1 business day. The SD81S II is the latest 80mm-class apochromatic refractor from one of the world's premier telescope makers, offered by NRO at a substantial discount to prevailing prices. **FPL53 objective figured in Japan, and entire optical tube assembly made in Japan**; accessories made in China. Please visit the Vixen Optics global website for in-depth information on this OTA package (item 26083), including the innovative design of the lens cell, which uses a spacer ring between the lenses comprising the apochromatic doublet — rather than foil spacers (as were used in the SD81S model) — for optimized photographic performance. The flip mirror can serve as a 90° diagonal or be used for straight-through viewing. With attachment of astrophotography (AP) accessories to the horizontal barrel, it's easy to switch from visual viewing through the vertical barrel to AP applications at the flip of a switch while maintaining focus. Alternatively, the flip mirror diagonal can be substituted with a conventional 2-inch prism or mirror diagonal (not included in this listing), with the flip mirror reserved for AP use only.
