EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC MAK-NT 152 CF EXOS-2 PMC-Eight GoTo Telescope Set

Maksutov Newton MN-152 David H. Levy Comet Hunter Telescope Highly corrected optic for wide-field observation and astrophotography. Developed in collaboration with the famous "comet hunter" David H. Levy. The Maksutov-Newton system does have some pros and cons respectively to the classical newtonian design. Apart from the higher price the main disadvantage is the higher weight - the thick corrector lens at the front is the cause for this. The main advantage of the Maksutov-Newton compared to the classical newton is the sharpness of the field of view. Classical newtonian telescopes do show a sharp pinpoint star image only at the middle of the field of view - outside the optical axis they have a dominant abberation, the so called coma. This is inherent in the newtonian design, and therefore valid for all newtonian telescopes of all brands and not caused by manufacturing tolerances. Coma distorts the star image - the pinpoint star shows a tail, just like a small comet. This decreases sharpness and contrast considerably. The Maksutov-Newton shows a much sharper star image - for most applications the coma is not visible. This results in a high contrast image all over the field of view - for visual observations and for astrophotography with DSLRs alike. This makes the Maksutov-Newton a ideal all-purpose telescope, that is able to show a sharp field without the need for additional correctors.

SX2WL R200SS telescope set, complete with GoTo mount, tripod and eyepiecesThis high-quality Newtonian telescope set impresses with its large 200 mm aperture and fast focal ratio for photography. The telescope is manufactured in Japan and scores with its excellent workmanship, sharpness and contrast performance. The advantage of this telescope is its low weight and short focal length, making it ideal for larger deep-sky objects. You will be amazed when you use it to observe the surface of the moon with its craters or Saturn with its ring system. On a good night, many smaller details will be visible in the cloud bands on Jupiter, such as the large red spot on the planet. On moonless nights, you can observe the Andromeda Nebula, Orion Nebula, Eagle Nebula, Lagoon Nebula and many other interesting fainter objects. The brighter globular star clusters can be easily resolved into individual stars. The fast focal ratio of 1:4 makes this telescope perfect for photography. You can therefore get a great photo very quickly and don't have to choose endlessly long exposure times. You can optimise the image quality with the optionally available flattner Art. X000150. This flattner (not included) optimises the image right into the corners of a full-frame DSLR camera. The large 60 mm focuser also allows even heavy cameras to be attached without tilting. The sturdy metal tripod enables vibration-free mounting of the telescope and mount even in windy weather. The ultra-modern SX2WL mount is simply operated via a Wi-Fi module with your smartphone or tablet.By simply controlling the mount with your smartphone or tablet and using the free STAR BOOK Wireless app, you can easily use sky navigation functions such as automatic GoTo panning for many celestial objects. By eliminating the conventional LCD display (STAR BOOK TEN), the power consumption on the mount is reduced by up to 20%, thus enabling longer astronomical observation and astrophotography.When you touch the desired celestial object on the star chart, it is automatically pointed into the telescope's field of view and tracking begins.NOTE: An existing STAR BOOK TEN or ONE controller can also be used on this mount without any problems.Equipped with the same precision stepper motors as the top model, the AXD mount, the SX2WL brings a new standard of performance and precision to the Vixen mount family.With a photographic load capacity of 12 kg, the axis cross of the mount is just 7 kg light, making it ideal for mobile observations. In addition, the motors mounted in the lower part of the mount also serve as a counterweight and the mount therefore requires fewer weights for balancing.The SX2WL mount in detailPrecision stepper motors and micro-step motion control systemAt the heart of the SX2 are the precision stepper motors, which offer better performance and response than previous models. The micro-step motion control system scores with powerful yet very smooth drive characteristics, which are present in both fine movements and fast pans.Built-in bearingsThe bearings of the RA and DEC axes and the worm shafts have been significantly improved to reduce the load on the motors. As a result, the motors move much more smoothly than in previous models.High-precision worm gearsHigh-precision processing technologies eliminate worm gear errors. The running surfaces of the two worms and worm wheels are manufactured to be particularly smooth, enabling very precise tracking.Declination axis as counterweightThe massive motor units are installed in the lower part of the declination axis so that the center of gravity of the SX2WL is below the intersection point of the RA and DEC axes. This means you need fewer additional counterweights.Latitude adjustmentThe latitude is adjustable between 0 and 70 degrees (divided into 3 zones and adjustable in +/- 15 degrees per zone, for high, medium and low latitudes); latitude scale in 2-degree increments; fine adjustment with a tangent screw head, approx. 0.8 degrees per turn.The wireless module in detailThe Vixen Wifi adapter for EQ mounts allows you to control your Vixen mount via a smartphone or tablet. With the smartphone app "STAR BOOK Wireless" (free of charge) you can navigate the sky without any cables. The "STAR BOOK Wireless" smartphone app transforms your smartphone or tablet into a control unit for the equatorial mount in no time at all. The response delay of the mount, which is considered the biggest disadvantage of wireless connections, has been reduced to a level comparable to wired connections.Reduced power consumption compared to conventional controllers with LCD monitorThe power consumption of the mount is reduced by up to 20%, allowing longer observations than with conventionalwired controllers such as the STAR BOOK TEN.Operation similar to the STAR BOOK TEN control unitThe STAR BOOK Wireless app has a similar structure to the STAR BOOK TEN control system. Depending on the star map setting, it contains up to 259,000 celestial objects. Tap on a celestial object in the object list and start the GoTo.The mount will now automatically move to this target and bring it into the telescope's field of view.All the popular features of the STAR BOOK TEN are retainedConvenient operationWhen looking through the telescope operate the mount by swiping on the app's star chart. As there are no buttons, simply slide your finger over the star chart to operate the mount conveniently.Extensive astronomical data includedIn addition to data on easily observable celestial bodies such as Messier objects, NGC objects and IC objects, this also includes the sun, moon, planets, comets and dwarf planets.High-precision alignmentBy aligning the mount to one or two stars, you can already achieve fairly precise positioning of the mount. By aligning to three or more stars, you can achieve high-precision alignment of the mount for high magnifications. The objects are then approached precisely and centrally in the field of view of your telescope. The alignment information is saved and can be retained even when the device is switched off. By leaving the telescope in its current state after completing an observation without moving it, you can start the automatic installation with the same settings for the next observation.Individual setting optionsAs with the STAR BOOK TEN controller, the app offers various individual settings, such as gear backlash compensation, night mode in red, autoguider, variable GoTo speed and LED brightness. You can also set the timing of the reversal of the objective tube (meridian flip) as required.Even if the object moves to the south during tracking, you can prevent the telescope tube from reversing.Important information: Cannot be used on old SX mounts with the old blue star bookTechnical informationCPU with 32-bit CISC processor 120 MHzThe unit is connected to the mount via a D-SUB 9PIN connector as is the STAR BOOK TEN.It has a 6-pin, 6-wire modular connector for external autoguider operation.Supported operating systems are Android 6 or higher, iOS 9.0 or higher, WLAN standard: IEEE 802.11b/g/n・Details of the R200SS TelescopeThe f/4-200 mm optics of the R200SS impress with a great light-gathering capacity and are equipped with a parabolic primary mirror, thus delivering extremely sharp images without chromatic aberration. A special coating (state-of-the-art technology) provides the optimal surface for the observation and photography of deep-sky objects. Vixen has developed a unique aluminium vacuum coating system that produces extremely precise mirror surfaces. This revolutionary Vixen system allows for greater precision through the controlled coating of the primary mirror. This coating is also used in the VMC200L/VC200L, in addition to the R200SS.With its large aperture and short focal length, the R200SS telescope is ideally suited for astrophotography of nebulae, star clusters, and comets. The use of an optional coma corrector (not included) enables sharp imaging right to the corners of a full-frame DSLR camera. The eyepiece drawtube is equipped with a 60-mm thread for 60-mm adapters for various applications.FEATURESTelescope R200SSVery fast 200 mm f/4 optics Focal length: 800 mmResolution and limiting magnification: 0.58; 13.3 Light gathering capacity: 816x Dimensions and weight: 232 x 700 mm; 5.3kg Adapters and connections: 31.7 mm receptacle, 60 mm connection Backfocus: 72.5 +/-5 mm Made in JapanSX2WL mountRA Gear rim: 180 teethDEC gear rim: 180 teethBearing: Carbon steel / Decl. 35 mm, RA 40 mm thicknessFine height adjustment: 0° to 70°, (fine adjustment +/- 15°, height)Counterweight rod: 20 mm diameterAzimuth adjustment: Fine worm adjustmentPower supply: DC12 V; 0.4~1.7 AMaximum load: 12 kg, photographic, without counterweightCounterweight: 1x 1.9 kgTripod connection: 45 mm spigotDimensions: 36 cm (H) x 12 cm (W) x 36 cm (L)Weight: 7 kg, without counterweight32-bit CISC processor 120 MHzOperating system: Android 6 or higher, iOS 9.0 or higherConnection: D-SUB 9PIN plugAutoguider input ST4Power consumption SXD2WL+Wireless unit: DC12V / 0.3-2.0 A (load 10 kg), 0.4-2.2 A (load 15 kg)SCOPE OF DELIVERYSX2WL mountWireless unitCounterweight: 1.9 kg (2 pcs)Mounting toolCigarette lighter cableR200SS Newton telescope2 eyepieces: SLV20mm and SLV 5mmTube ringsDovetail mount7x50 finder scope  SXG aluminum tripod
