- Updated 2-lens element design with Extra-low Dispersion glass

- New optional re-designed dedicated reducer/field flattener for wider field of view and faster imaging
- Retractable integrated dew shield for improved handling
- Precision 61mm (2.4") dual-speed focuser
- Vixen-style dovetail with clamshell tube rings
