VSI's Hexagonal 1 offers a contoured European styling and double Nylon (10-32) lateral locking thumb screws, incorporating our exclusive failsafe lateral locking system, on each eyepiece port. The Hex 1 also features spring-loaded, ball bearing click stops at each of the six ports and rotary eyepiece cylinder lock-down capability (see picture above right). Our exclusive, built-in 2" format filter slot offers instant filter changes for all 6 eyepieces. No removing eyepieces and fumbling with 1.25" filters for each individual eyepiece. You use one filter for all 6 eyepieces. Note that all eyepieces should be [push-pull] parfocal positioned to eliminate refocusing when rotating from one eyepiece to another. If you have a matched set of parfocal eyepieces, all you do is pop them in and lock them down - you're done. If you have an unmatched set of different eyepieces, then simply parfocus each eyepiece by push-pulling until all eyepieces are parfocused. Note the green-white indented dot. It is filled with luminous paint that glows in the dark. This feature will easily indicate the active eyepiece position in total darkness. Includes six 1.25" dust plugs and one 2" dust cap. Hexagonal 1 weight (less eyepieces) = 25 ozs, Approx. weight w/6 loaded eyepieces = 3 lbs.
MIRROR SPECS: Hexagonal 1 turrets contain oversize optical-grade, first-surface mirrors from ProtoStar that have a 1.83" (minor axis) with a 0.375" thickness, and meet or exceed Milspec MIL-M-13508C. Wavefront flatness is 0.1 peak-to-valley measured at 633 nm light. Coatings are enhanced aluminum providing 96% reflectivity across the entire visible spectrum with a thin pre-coat layer of chromium to promote good metal adhesion. Dielectric overcoat layers are applied using Electron Beam Deposition (EBD), followed by an Ion Assisted Deposition (true argon IAD) process.
