The Pulsar Axion Compact XQ19 delivers premium thermal imaging in a lightweight, palm-sized body. Designed to make professional performance more accessible, it features a 384×288, 17µm <18mK NETD sensor and a 19mm f/1.0 lens, detecting heat sources up to 750 metres away — all from a device that fits easily in your hand or pocket.
Exceptional Thermal Performance
The highly sensitive <18mK NETD sensor captures fine temperature differences for clear, high-contrast imaging in fog, rain, or total darkness. Spot wildlife, track heat signatures, or monitor your surroundings with precision — whatever the weather.

With a 19° field of view (34.7 m @ 100 m), the Axion XQ19 provides wide-angle visibility for scanning open terrain and tracking moving subjects.
All-Day Power
Enjoy up to 8 hours of operation from the rechargeable APS3 battery. Quick-swap design makes changing batteries simple, even in the dark — perfect for extended field use.
Rugged & Weatherproof
The magnesium alloy body and IPX7 waterproof rating protect against rain, snow, and immersion. A rubberised grip ensures reliable handling in any conditions.
Custom Colour Palettes
Choose from eight viewing modes to enhance detection and reduce eye strain:
White Hot / Black Hot / Red Hot – ideal for detection
Rainbow / Ultramarine – improve recognition
Red Monochrome / Sepia / Violet – comfortable for long use

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it come with a warranty?
All our products are UK stock so come with manufacturers warranty
What happens if I don't like it?
We always want you to be happy with your purchase — so if you’re unsure, please ask us first. We’re always happy to give honest advice before you buy.
If the product arrives and you simply decide it isn’t for you, you can usually return it within the cooling-off period — as long as it’s unused, in perfect condition, and returned with all original packaging and accessories.
Because telescopes and optical equipment are large, delicate and expensive to ship, you’ll need to cover the cost of sending it back, and if we originally subsidised delivery, we may deduct our outbound shipping costs from your refund.
We’re a small specialist business, and unnecessary returns genuinely hurt us — so if you’re unsure at all, please talk to us first. We’d rather help you choose the right item than process a return.
How fast is shipping?
We aim to ship in-stock items as quickly as possible.
Most in-stock orders dispatch within 1–2 working days
Delivery usually takes 1–3 working days after dispatch (UK mainland)
Heavier / oversized items and special orders may take a little longer
You’ll receive tracking details as soon as your order is on its way.
Astronomy equipment often requires specialist packing and trusted couriers — we do this to keep your gear safe, not to slow things down. If you need something urgently, just ask and we’ll do our best.
