Unlike thermal imaging binoculars on the market with two-eyepiece displays, the AURORA A3R Thermal Imager with Laser Rangefinder from RIX employs a single 2.7" OLED screen for a more comfortable experience and a more successful hunt. The laser rangefinder gives an accurate measurement of the distance to your target, and you can save photos and video to the device or share with your phone running the free app. The built-in rechargeable battery supplies 10 hours of runtime, and the device can also be powered by eight AA batteries.

The AURORA A3R is equipped with a 384 × 288 resolution sensor and a 35mm focal length, f/1.0 infrared lens for a clear image. Its 4-16x optical and 1/2/3/4x digital magnification reveals details of your subject.

The 2.69" OLED display is easier on your eyes than many binocular or biocular thermal optics, and the picture-in-picture feature allows you to see both close-up details and the bigger picture. Choose from color palettes including white heat, black heat, red heat, or pseudo-color.

The AURORA A3R has built-in laser ranging module that can measure up to 1312 yards, so you can make an accurate and ethical shot.

The AURORA A3R can be powered by its built-in 3800mAh Li-ion rechargeable battery or eight AA cells. It can also run from an external power supply via a USB-C port.

With 32GB of onboard memory, the A3R can capture and store photos and video. You can also use its built-in Wi-Fi to send data to your phone running the free app for iPhone or Android.

Q: 5. is it possible to attach this camera to a baader hyperion zoom ? I am planning to buy a skywatcher 120mm ed refractor and a vx mount ,but I am unclear as to if this can only be used with barlows for multiples of prime focus or if it can be attached to ep's

A: The NexImage 5 camera does not have a lens and is not designed to record images through an eyepiece. It is designed to fit into your telescope's 1.25 focuser drawtube (or 2 to 1.25 adapter) in place of an eyepiece, using the optics of your telescope as a lens. In principal, you can use this camera with a Barlow for added magnification, but the 2.2 micron pixel size of the Neximage 5 combined with the 840mm focal length of the Skywatcher 120 ED already means that to 0.54 arc-seconds of sky will be spread over each pixel. A 120mm aperture only gives an angular resolution of (at best) 1.16 arc-seconds due to diffraction. In this situation any extra magnification provided by a Barlow can do little to improve the resolution of the image and will work against you by reducing the signal to noise ratio.
