Product information "Vixen AP-SD81S II Telescope set"
Complete telescope set with AP mount, APP-TL130 tripod, eyepieces and SD 81S II refractor telescope

About the ADVANCED POLARIS EQ mount (AP)
The ADVANCED POLARIS mount is perfect for both beginners and advanced observers who require a lightweight travel mount.

Stylish design and intuitive controls
The AP mount features an ultra-smooth finish without any projecting parts. Simply place your telescope on the mount and move it to the desired celestial object without having to loosen any clamps! The mount requires four AA batteries, which are inserted inside the AP mount. This prevents unnecessary cable clutter and reduces the risk of pulling the cables or knocking the mount over in the dark.

Quick polar alignment
The slip clutches allow you to adjust the telescope to your target object easily - no more searching for adjustment clamps in the dark! An optional polar meter is available, which enables you to locate the celestial pole when it is hidden by trees or buildings.

Optional polar finder scope available
The innovative polar finder scope provides a new way to polar align your telescope. Simply align the stars in the crosshair reticle with the same stars in the night sky. Polar alignment is achieved using 3 reference stars. The polar finder is illuminated to facilitate orientation and switches off automatically after 3 minutes to save battery power.

Ultra-compact tripod
The newly developed APP-TL130 tripod provides portability and stability for astronomical observations. Measuring just 60 cm when retracted, it is ideal for on-the-go use. The tripod can be extended to a height of 130 cm. The ends of the tripod legs have a retractable rubber cover that protects the floor against scratches.

The SD81S refractor in detail
A new apochromatic refractor with high-performance Super ED glass (=SD). The FPL53 glass produces an extremely clear and sharp image by eliminating residual chromatic aberration.
The SD glass is designed to focus all beams of violet, red, blue, yellow and green light exactly onto the same level. The special lens material reduces chromatic aberration across all colours. Together with the new optional SD Reducer HD Kit or SD Flattener HD, these refractors provide illumination with a 44 mm image circle for full-frame SLR cameras.
Another advantage of these SD refractors is their short length and lightweight design.
The ED81SII, ED103S and ED115S refractors were originally designed for visual observers or photographers with an APS-C camera. However, the new SD series features new inner panels which are optimised for full-frame cameras.
The large focuser allows you to attach heavy cameras without the telescope tilting.
The telescope also comes with a folding mirror for making observations in unfavourable conditions,
as well as a T2 thread for connecting a DSLR camera.

Vixen 60DA Focal adaptor for Canon EOS Cameras
Vixen 60DX Focal adaptor for Canon EOS Cameras This Vixen 60DX is a photographic adaptor for Canon EOS cameras, for use with telescopes with a 60 mm focuser drawtube connection thread. A redesign by Vixen uses new tougher materials for a more solid connection and also offers an accurate, well-machined camera rotator ring, in order to help frame your images perfectly. Camera-Adaptor for Canon EOS with 60mm Focuser connection thread Large inner diameter for full-format cameras, helping to minimise vignetting 6 locking 60° spaced bolts to hold the camera’s rotation in position Dimensions: 81mm x 30 mm / weight: 190g The option of using 6 long or 6 short fixing screws for the rotator The Vixen 60DA Focal adaptor connects your Canon EOS DSLR Camera to a telescope with an appropriate 60 mm Focuser Drawtube Thread. Thanks to the use of new materials and an improved design Vixen was able to considerably uprate both precision and durability, when compared to conventional rotational camera adaptors. Two sets of rotational locking bolts (Long and Short) are supplied. The longer ones are knurled and easy to turn by hand. The shorter options help to prevent marring of the camera casing, when using certain designs of camera and are also much less easy to turn by hand, increasing security if you need the camera locked in a particular rotational position for longer periods. The large inner dimension of this adaptor prevents vignetting at the edges of the image when using full frame DSLR cameras. Canon EOS-Bayonet fastener made of hardwearing brass, for years of hassle-free use. Increased material quality over conventional adapters provides more stability in use. 6 fixing bolts hold the camera in rotational position for increased sturdiness (standard rotators often only use 4, or less). FEATURES Screw tips with Delrin-tips prevent tilting of the camera and subsequent image distortion. Large inner diameter prevents vignetting. Inner blackening suppresses scattered light. Compatible with 60 mm accessories, when the camera adaptor is taken off. Two rotational bolt sets (Long and Short) are supplied. SCOPE OF DELIVERY 60DA Focal adaptor 6 long and 6 short fixing screws

Vixen SG-L02 Headlamp red-light white-light
The perfect LED head torch for nighttime observations! Adjusting your eyes to the dark surroundings is very important when making astronomical observations. In dark areas, it is very difficult to use astronomical equipment without a suitable light. With normal lights, however, the light intensity is more important than protecting your eyes against bright light. Using these lights at night makes your pupils contract, which can make it difficult for your eyes to readjust to the darkness. The SG-L01, our first astronomy LED lamp, featured a built-in red LED that provided a solution to this problem. However, the red light did not offer optimal visibility. On our new astronomy LED light, the SG-L02, the LED lights produce warm light to improve visibility. They also ensure that your eyes stay adapted to the dark. The LEDs do not emit light in the sensitive range of 555 nm. The brightness of the white light can be adjusted between 3 and 42 lumen, while the red light can be adjusted between 0.28 and 7.62 lumen. FEATURES Dimmable red light ensures that your eyes stay adapted to the dark Built-in rechargeable battery, charges via USB Waterproof design LED colour can be switched from red to white 0.28 to 7.62 lumen for red light 3 to 42 lumen for white light Dimensions: 41 mm x 33 mm x 30 mm Weight: 29 g DELIVERY CONTENT SG-L02 head torch Strap (size S) Strap (size L) Pocket clip Cable for charging the battery (USB-A plug to USB Micro-B plug)

Vixen SD Reducer HD Kit
High-performance flattener and reducer set connection rings for Vixen telescopes SD81S, SD103S and SD115S, as well as the ED predecessor series. High-performance flattener and reducer set The kit consists of a high-performance flattener, a reducer for reducing the focal length, and connection rings (distance ring SD81, EX Tube 66), which were developed for prime-focus astrophotography with the SD81S, SD103S and SD115S telescopes. The flattener and the 0.79x reducer deliver a significant increase in telescope performance and image quality. You obtain a flat and sharp image until the edges, including with a full-frame DSLR camera. Ultra-sharp image over the entire field of view of the DSLR full-frame sensor The SD flattener improves the image quality to the edge of the field of view without changing the original focal length of the telescope. The field of view of the DSLR camera with a full-frame sensor is fully illuminated (44 mm), ensuring that stars appear sharp until the edges of the image. When used in conjunction with the Reducer HD, the focal length is reduced by a factor of 0.79 (f/7.7→6.1) whilst maintaining the 44 mm illumination. High-contrast AS coating The anti-reflex AS coating, which is also used on our high-end VSD 100 f/3.8 astrograph, delivers a high light transmission of 99.9% per lens surface. Loss of light, ghosting and scattered light images are virtually eliminated thanks to the completely matte interior coating.

Vixen SXD2WL SD103SII Telescope Set
Complete SXD2WL SD103SII Telescope Set with GoTo Mount, Tripod, and EyepiecesThis high-quality apochromatic refractor telescope set impresses with its 103-mm SD optics. The telescope is made in Japan and stands out for its excellent workmanship, sharpness, and contrast performance.The advantage of this SD refractor lies in its short construction length and its low weight. You will be amazed when you observe the moon's surface with its craters or Saturn with its ring system. On Jupiter, on a clear night, the two bright cloud bands and many smaller details become visible, such as the Great Red Spot on the planet. On moonless nights, you can observe the Andromeda Nebula, Orion Nebula, Eagle Nebula, Lagoon Nebula and many other interesting objects. Even weaker celestial objects become visible with this large aperture under a good sky.This telescope set "Made in Japan" leaves nothing to be desired. The FPL53 glass installed in the telescope reproduces an extremely clear and sharp image by eliminating residual chromatic aberrations to a high degree. The SD glass is designed to bring together all rays – violet, red, blue, yellow, and green – very precisely on the same plane. The special lens material thus reduces chromatic aberration across all colors.With the new Vixen SD103SII, no spacer shims are used anymore, leading to a significantly better image quality for bright stars. Therefore, no spikes are seen on stars in photographs, which were otherwise caused by the spacer shims. In combination with the optional SD Reducer HD Kit or SD Flattener HD (not included), this refractor telescope enables illumination with a 44-mm image circle for full-frame SLR cameras. The older ED81SII, ED103S, ED115S refractors were originally designed for visual observers and photographers with APS-C cameras developed. However, the new SD series is also optimized for the use of full-frame cameras due to the use of new internal apertures. The large 60-mm eyepiece extractor also allows for the attachment of heavy cameras without tilting. Moreover, the supplied folding mirror enables comfortable observation even in unfavorable observation situations and also provides a T2 thread for connecting a DSLR camera. Thus, you can observe in direct view or at a 90° angle . The carrying handle attached to the tube clamps ensures a safe hold during transport of the telescope. The stable metal tripod allows for a vibration-free recording of the telescope and mount even in windy weather. The SXD2WL mount is easily operated via a Wifi module with a smartphone or tablet. The free STAR BOOK Wireless app is available for user-friendly control of the mount. This allows you to use practical celestial navigation functions such as the automatic GoTo swiveling to specific celestial objects very easily via your smartphone or tablet. As the power consumption of the conventional LCD screen (STAR BOOK TEN) is eliminated, the power consumption of the mount is reduced by up to 20%. This enables longer astronomical observations and astrophotography. When you tap on the desired celestial object from a list, it automatically swivels into the telescope's field of view, and tracking begins. An existing STAR BOOK TEN control 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 SXD2WL introduces a new standard of performance and precision in the Vixen mount family. The axis cross of the mount has a photographic load capacity of 15 kg and weighs just 9.2 kg, making it excellent for mobile observations. In addition, the motors located in the lower part of the mount simultaneously serve as counterweights. This means that the mount needs fewer weights for balance. Details of the SXD2 Mount Precision stepper motors and Micro-Step Motion Control System The heart of the SXD2 is the precision stepper motors, offering better performance and response than previous models. The Micro-Step Motion Control System boasts powerful yet very quiet drive properties, suitable for both fine movements and rapid sweeps. Built-in bearings The 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 quietly than previous models. High-precision worm gears Advanced manufacturing technologies have eliminated errors in the worm drives. The edges of both the worms and worm gears are particularly smooth, allowing very precise tracking. DEC axis as counterweight The massive motor units are built into the lower part of the DEC axis, so the center of gravity of the SXD2 is just below the intersection point of the RA and DEC axes. This reduces the need for additional counterweights. Latitude adjustment The latitude is adjustable between 0 and 70 degrees (divided into 3 zones and adjustable +/- 15 degrees per zone, for high, medium, and low latitudes); latitude scale in 2-degree steps; fine adjustment with a tangential screw head, about 0.8 degrees per rotation. Built-in PFL-II polar finder with illumination The built-in 5x20 mm polar finder with a 10° field of view has a 3-star alignment system. This eliminates the need to set the date and time. The illuminated reticle with variable brightness and automatic shut-off is adjustable in 8 steps and is red illuminated. The alignment accuracy is 3 arc minutes. Details of the Wireless Module The Vixen Wifi adapter for EQ mounts allows you to control your Vixen mount via a smartphone or tablet. With the free STAR BOOK Wireless smartphone app, celestial navigation becomes easy and wireless. This way, the app instantly transforms your mobile device into a controller for the equatorial mount. The reaction delay of the mount, the biggest disadvantage of wireless connections, has been reduced to a level comparable to wired solutions. Reduced power consumption compared to traditional controllers with LCD monitor The power consumption of the mount is reduced by up to 20%, allowing for longer observations than with traditional wired controllers like the STAR BOOK TEN. Operation similar to the STAR BOOK TEN controller The STAR BOOK Wireless App is set up similarly to the STAR BOOK TEN controller. Depending on the star chart setting, it contains up to 259,000 celestial objects. Tap on a celestial object in the object list and start the GoTo. The mount automatically moves to this target and brings it into the telescope's field of view. All the popular features of the STAR BOOK TEN are retained. Comfortable operation While looking through the telescope, you control the mount by swiping on the star chart in the app. Since there are no buttons, you simply swipe your finger over the star chart to comfortably control the mount. Comprehensive astronomical data included This includes data on easily observable celestial bodies such as Messier objects, NGC objects, IC objects, as well as the sun, moon, planets, comets, and dwarf planets. High-precision alignment Alignment on one or two stars already provides a reasonably accurate positioning of the mount. By aligning on three or more stars, a highly precise alignment of the mount for high magnifications can be performed. The objects are then accurately and centrally placed in the telescope's field of view. The alignment information is stored and can also be retained when the device is turned off. By leaving the telescope in its current state after an observation, without moving it, you can start the next observation with the same settings. Individual adjustment options The app offers various individual adjustment options such as gear play compensation, red night mode, autoguider, variable GoTo speed, and LED brightness, similar to the STAR BOOK TEN controller. You can also set the time of the reversal of the objective tube (Meridian Flip) as desired. Even if the object moves south during tracking, you can prevent the telescope tube from reversing. Important information Not suitable for old SX mounts with the old blue Star Book Technical information about the Wifi module CPU with 32-bit CISC processor 120 MHz The unit is connected to the mount via a D-SUB 9PIN connector, similar to the STAR BOOK TEN.

BRESSER Messier NT-203s/800 EXOS 2 GOTO Telescope
NEW – now including a high-quality aperture Solar-filter for safe observation of sunspots, eclipses and planet transits. Great telescope for night and solar observation.In the past few years the BRESSER Newton telescopes have become the standard workhorse for Deep Sky astrophotography. We now proudly present the second generation of this telescope, the BRESSER NT-203s/800 with Hexafoc and fast parabolic main mirror. The Bresser NT-203s/800 f3.9 will deliver you deeper images due to its - compared to 8" f/5 systems - oversized primary mirror and therefore faster optical system with the same exposure time. The big 85 mm secondary prevents vignetting for optimal illumination The excellent 2,5" Hexafoc focuser also does not cause vignetting due to its large diameter and makes focussing a joy - the smoothness and shifting-free operation sets new standards in this price class. This groundbreaking focuser, tube rings with 44mm universal standard dovetail and camera mounting feature and a high-end finderscope with haircross and laser-engraved scale  leave nothing to desire even for demanding astrophotographers. The NT-203s/800 Hexafoc has a classical tube construction with an aluminium tube. The focuser can be upgraded with a 10:1 reduction (part No. 0625720) without problems. Also prepared for use with the HR Coma Corrector (part No. 0510330) which eliminates coma, field-curvature and astigmatism. BRESSER EXOS-2 GoTo Equatorial Mount. Mount, tripod and hand box with computer. This German mount has tracking motors in both axes that follow celestial objects very precisely. The handbox with GoTo works reliable and controls the mount in every situation. Precise ball bearings in both axes ensures minimal backlash at all nine possible tracking speeds. The battery pack (12 V) is conveniently fastened to the tripod shelf and takes eight size D batteries. The mount rests on a very tough and rigid stainless steel tripod and can take optical tubes of up to 13 kg. GOTO Stargazing at the push of a button ! The Startracker GoTo System enables beginners to start astronomical observations in just a few minutes, and guides you to objects that are hard to localize through a standard finder scope.Just push the button and the GoTo System will find planets, nebulae or galaxies for you and position your telescope automatically and precise. The GoTo System database includes thousands of astronomical objects. The Messier mount with GoTo System allows you to observe without tedious searching, or image faint objects that are hard to find in a standard finder scope.Please note: Reflector telescopes with optical design Newton are very good for astronomical observing at the starry night sky. But these telescopes are not well usable for observing landscape and nature during daylight. Therefore we suggest BRESSER refractor (lens) telescopes for landscape and nature observing.CHARCTERISTICS OPTICS Optical design: reflector telescopeMirror diameter: 203mm / focal length: 800mm / F/3.9Maximum recommended magnification: 406xTelescope for night and solar observing Very high quality Hexafoc focuser with 2.5" free inner diameter Diffraction limited optics with parabolic main mirror 8x50 straight through viewfinder with reticle Optimized finder socket for comfortable use Cradle rings with handle and integrated piggyback camera holder (1/4 thread) Smartphone adapter for celestial navigation included Dovetail plate with stainless steel rail Can be connected to SLR cameras (optional T2 ring required) 50.8mm (2) to 31.7mm (1.25) adapter with integrated T2 thread (T2-adapter ring for your camera is needed) Backfocus fully inward focused: 60mm 85mm secondary mirror for optimal illumination Large knobs for primary and secondary mirror adjustment Tube without accessories: 8.7 kg - Tube with all accessories mounted: 11.5 kg CHARACTERISTICS MOUNT Stable parallactic mount with fine drive in both axes Ball bearings in both axes for more precise movements Stable height adjustable stainless steel tripod ( Min. 69cm / Max. 109.5cm ) Load capacity up to 13 kg payload Circular bubble for easy horizontal alignment GoTo Mount with motors and hand box controller, for easy finding and guiding moon, planets, stars and much more ST-4 compatible autoguider interface Pole height scale for setting the latitude Scaled graduated circular rings to facilitate finding objects using a star atlas or planetarium software Pole finder scope with optional illumination ( item no. 4964212 ) Tripod weight: 4.7 kg Mount weight: 6.7 kg (without counterweight) Total weight incl. counterweight: 20.4 kg Batteries: not includedSCOPE OF DELIVERY Optical tube 26mm Super Plössl eyepiece (31.7mm / 1.25") Integrated 31.7 mm and T2 adapter Prism rail with stainless steel clamping surface Adapter for 50.8 mm (2") eyepieces 8x50 optical viewfinder Rotatable star map Aperture solar filter Tube clamp with handle and camera holder Smartphone adapter for celestial navigation Adjustable polar finder scope with optional illumination Astronomy PC software Stellarium (via download) Equatorial EXOS 2 GOTO mount with stainless steel tripod and Startracker handcontroller Stainless steel tube field tripod with accessory tray 2 x 4.5 kg counterweight Battery pack (batteries not included)

This prevents unnecessary cable clutter and reduces the risk of pulling the cables or knocking the mount over in the dark.Quick polar alignment and adjustmentThe slip clutches allow you to adjust the telescope to your target object easily - no more searching for adjustment clamps in the dark! An optional polar meter is available, which enables you to locate the celestial pole when it is hidden by trees or buildings.Optional polar finder scope availableThe innovative polar finder scope provides a new way to polar align your telescope. Simply align the stars in the crosshair reticle with the same stars in the night sky. Polar alignment is achieved using 3 reference stars. The polar finder is illuminated to facilitate orientation and switches off automatically after 3 minutes to save battery power.Power supplyThe RA and DEC motor modules are powered by four AA alkaline, Ni-MH or Ni-CD batteries. The RA motor module has a USB Micro-B port for an external power supply. A USB power pack or car charging cable can be used for longer observation sessions.Ultra-compact tripodThe newly developed APP-TL130 tripod provides portability and stability for astronomical observations. Measuring just 60 cm when retracted, it is ideal for on-the-go use. The tripod can be extended to a height of 130 cm. The ends of the tripod legs have a retractable rubber cover that protects the floor against scratches.STAR BOOK ONE controllerThe STAR BOOK ONE is a multifunctional and intuitive controller that tracks in the RA and DC axis with a range of different speeds. The tracking options are designed for time lapse cameras at a wide range of speeds, including sidereal, lunar and solar rates. The controller also offers many useful functions such as backlash compensation, autoguider port, PEC and a built-in red LED light.  The STAR BOOK ONE controller is designed for the AP-SM mount and is an integral part of the RA motor module.SD81S optical lens barrelThe apochromatic refractors from Vixen feature an optical Super Extra-Low Dispersion SD glass in the objective lens. The SD glass produces a clear and high-contrast image free from false colours.This gives the observer a colour-neutral, sharp and very high-contrast image.The SD 81 II has 81 mm lenses and a 625 mm focal length. Weighing just 3.6 kg, it is also very portableand is suitable for use on smaller mounts.The large focuser allows you to attach heavy cameras without the telescope tilting.The telescope also comes with a folding mirror for making observations in unfavourable conditions,as well as a T2 thread for connecting a DSLR camera.FEATURESComplete telescope set with mount, tripod and eyepieces81 mm lenses and 625 mm focal length, f7.7Resolution: 1.43Limiting magnitude: 11.3Light-gathering power: 134xUltra-compact and stable tripodLightweight and portableSTAR BOOK ONE motor controllerSlip clutch for easy adjustment Great for travellingSCOPE OF DELIEVERYSD81S II telescopeAP-SM mountSTARBOOK ONEAPP TL 130 tripod2 eyepiecesFolding mirror, carry handle2 counterweights (1.0 kg and 1.9 kg)
