Product information "Vixen SXD2WL SD103SII Telescope Set"
Complete SXD2WL SD103SII Telescope Set with GoTo Mount, Tripod, and Eyepieces

This 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

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 SXP2WL-VC200L Telescope Set
SXP2WL Mount with high-performance VC200L Cassegrain Mirror Telescope in complete setWith this complete telescope set, you can immediately begin your hobby. It includes everything you need for astronomical observation: the telescope, an automatic mount with GoTo alignment and tracking, a tripod, and two eyepieces. The SXP2WL mount comes with the PFL-II polar finder for quick and easy alignment using reference stars and the STAR BOOK APP. This allows your telescope to automatically locate the objects you've selected. The 259,000 celestial objects are already preloaded in the STAR BOOK APP. The VC200L Cassegrain telescope is optimized for photography and delivers a sharp and high-contrast image to the edges of the camera chip. You can look forward to breathtaking, razor-sharp images of galaxies and nebulae. But it is also excellent for visual observation, providing high-contrast images without color errors. You'll be amazed when you take a look at the lunar surface with its many craters or observe Saturn with its ring system.The VISAC primary mirror (= Vixen Sixth-Order Aspheric Cassegrain) features a special coating technique (state-of-the-art technology) and provides the optimal mirror surface for observation and photography. This allows for controlled coating and corrects errors on the mirrors individually. Spherical aberration, coma, and field curvature are non-issues for this optic. Another reason for this is the three-lens field corrector in front of the convex secondary mirrorThe SXP2WL mount is operated easily via a WiFi module with your smartphone or tablet. The user-friendly STAR BOOK Wireless app is available free of charge to control the mount. This app allows you to easily use convenient sky navigation functions like automatic GoTo slewing to specific celestial objects directly from your smartphone or tablet. As the power consumption of the traditional LCD screen (STAR BOOK TEN) is eliminated, the power consumption of the mount is reduced by up to 20%. This enables longer periods of astronomical observation and astrophotographyIf you select a desired celestial object from a list, it is automatically slewed into the telescope's field of view and tracking begins. An existing STAR BOOK TEN control system can also be used with this mount without any problems. Equipped with the same precision stepper motors as the flagship AXD mount, the SXP2WL sets a new standard in performance and precision in the Vixen mount familyThe cross-axis of the SXP2 mount, with a photographic load capacity of 17 kg, weighs just 13.3 kg, making it ideal for mobile observations. Additionally, the motors installed in the lower part of the mount serve as counterweights. This reduces the need for additional counterweightsLarger ball bearings are used in the SXP2 mount compared to previous models to increase accuracy and load capacity. The mount housing is also characterized by thicker material. To further stabilize the polar block, the cross-axis is firmly clamped into a fork Very precise tracking with P-PEC functionThe SXP2 mount comes with the modern STAR BOOK TEN controller. It provides you with the P-PEC function for particularly precise tracking. The term 'PEC' stands for 'Periodic Error Correction.' The system corrects the mechanical errors caused by periodic errors in the gear systems. The P-PEC function stores your correction data even after the mount's power is turned off, so you don’t need to re-enter the data each time, allowing for faster operation and more accurate tracking Low-noise belt drive system with minimal backlash In conventional motor drive systems for equatorial mounts, gears are driven by the motor. However, this design has the disadvantage of introducing some play between the gears. To avoid the inaccuracies that arise from this, the SXP2 mount uses a belt drive system. This significantly reduces both the play in the gears and the operating noise. Additionally, the device responds more quickly to corrections 16 bearingsThe mechanical parts of the SXP2 mount feature a total of 16 bearings. The RA axis is supported by a set of tapered roller bearings, providing more stability for precise tracking Stable polar block for alignmentThe SXP2 mount uses the same fork as the heavier AXJ mount. This new design enables fast and stable latitude adjustment Simple and accurate polar alignment using reference starsThe 6x20 polar finder is pre-installed. It allows you to adjust polar alignment for both the northern and southern hemispheres. The polar finder provides a variable illuminated reticle with an automatic shutoff function. The brightness can be adjusted in 8 levels, so you can customize it to your personal needs. Additionally, the polar finder comes with direct adjustment using three reference stars and can achieve an accuracy of up to 3 arc minutes Variable mount headThe mount head has a diameter of 35 mm and eight threaded holes for M8 screws, arranged at 45-degree intervals. An optional accessory plate can be attached directly or in combination with an optional mounting block for dovetail plates. Additionally, the threaded holes on the mount head allow for the use of mounting rails from other manufacturers Combination of innovative, elegant design and user-friendly operationThe stable, rigid mount body with very accurate tracking has been further optimized by the P-PEC function. The SXP2 is a highly precise and easy-to-use mount that will delight every astrophotographer and observer Special motor placement for fewer counterweightsThe heavy RA and DEC motor units are located in the lower part of the declination body, placing the center of gravity of the cross-axis beneath the RA and DEC axes. As a result, the declination body acts as a counterweight. Additionally, the flat mounting head enables the mount to be balanced with significantly fewer counterweights Retractable counterweight shaftThe counterweight shaft is made of solid stainless steel and has a diameter of 20 mm. It is compatible with all counterweights from the SX and GP mount series. The counterweight shaft is housed in the declination body Accessory shoeFor simple and quick polar alignment, the #35511 Polar Meter can be slid onto this shoe Latitude adjustmentThe latitude is adjustable between 0 and 70 degrees (divided into 3 zones and adjustable +/- 15 degrees per zone for high, medium, and low latitudes) The Vixen WiFi adapter in detail The Vixen WiFi adapter for EQ mounts allows you to control your Vixen mount via a smartphone or tablet. Using the free STAR BOOK Wireless app, you can perform sky navigation wirelessly. The app turns your mobile device into a controller for the equatorial mount in no time. The response delay of the mount, typically the main drawback of wireless connections, has been reduced to a level comparable to wired solutions Reduced power consumption compared to traditional controllers with LCD monitorsThe power consumption of the mount is reduced by up to 20%, allowing for longer observation periods compared to traditional wired controllers like the STAR BOOK TEN Operation similar to the STAR BOOK TEN controllerThe STAR BOOK Wireless app is similarly structured to the STAR BOOK TEN controller. It contains up to 259,000 celestial objects depending on the star chart settings. Simply select a celestial object from the object list and start GoTo. The mount will automatically slew to the target and bring it into the telescope's field of view. All popular features of the STAR BOOK TEN are retained Comfortable operationWhen looking through the telescope, you can control the mount by swiping on the app’s star chart. Since there are no buttons, you can easily glide your finger over the star chart and comfortably control the mount Comprehensive astronomical data includedThis includes not only data on well-observed celestial bodies such as Messier objects, NGC objects, IC objects, but also the Sun, Moon, planets, comets, and dwarf planets Highly precise alignmentBy aligning with one or two stars, you can already achieve relatively accurate mount positioning. Aligning with three or more stars allows for highly precise mount alignment for high magnifications. The objects are then exactly centered in the telescope’s field of view. The alignment information is saved and can be retained even when the device is turned off. If you leave the telescope in its current state after a session, you can start the next session with the same settings without moving it Customizable settingsThe app, like the STAR BOOK TEN controller, offers various customizable settings such as gear backlash compensation, night mode in red, autoguider, variable GoTo speed, and LED brightness. You can also adjust the moment of the meridian flip (telescope tube inversion) as needed. Even if the object moves south during tracking, you can prevent the telescope tube from inverting Technical information about the WiFi moduleCPU with 32-bit CISC processor 120 MHzThe unit is connected to the mount via a D-SUB 9PIN connector as with the STAR BOOK TEN. It has a 6-pin 6-wire modular connector for external autoguider operation.

Vixen SX2WL SD103SII Telescope Set
SX2WL SD103SII complete telescope set with GoTo mount, tripod and eyepieces.This high-quality apochromatic refractor telescope set impresses with its 103 mm SD optics. The telescope is manufactured in Japan and scores with its excellent workmanship, sharpness and contrast performance. The advantage of this SD refractor is its short length and low weight. 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, the two bright cloud bands and many smaller details, such as the large red spot on the planet, will also be visible on Jupiter. On moonless nights you can observe the Andromeda Nebula, Orion Nebula, Eagle Nebula, Lagoon Nebula and many other interesting objects, but also fainter celestial objects become visible with this large aperture under a good sky. This telescope set "Made in Japan" simply leaves nothing to be desired. The FPL53 glass used in the telescope reproduces an extremely clear and sharp image thanks to an extraordinarily high elimination of residual chromatic aberration. The SD glass is designed in such a way that it brings all rays - violet, red, blue, yellow and green - very precisely together on the same plane. The special lens material thus reduces chromatic aberration across all colours.The new Vixen SD103SII no longer uses spacer discs, which leads to significantly better image quality, especially with bright stars. Photographic images do not show any spikes on the stars that would otherwise be caused by the spacer discs. 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 developed for visual observers and photographers with APS-C cameras. However, the new SD series is also optimised for use with full-frame cameras thanks to the use of new internal diaphragms. The large 60 mm focuser also allows heavy cameras to be attached without tilting. Furthermore, the supplied folding mirror allows comfortable observation even in unfavourable observation situations and also offers a T2 thread for connecting a DSLR camera. This allows you to observe in a degree view or at a 90° angle. The carrying handle attached to the tube clamps ensures a secure grip when transporting the telescope. The sturdy metal tripod enables the telescope and mount to be mounted without vibration, 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・FEATURESTelescope SD103SIIObjective lenses: 103 mm, multicoated2-lens SD apochromat without spacer platesFocal length: 795 mm (f/7.7)No more spikes on the starsResolution and limiting magnitude: 1.13 arc seconds; 11.8Light gathering capacity: 217xDimensions and weight: (OD) 115 mm x (L) 810 mm; 5.5 kgFinder scope: 7x50 with illuminated reticleAdapter and connections: 60 mm thread, 50,8 mm and 31.7 mm connection, T-ring threadSupplied accessories: Flip mirror with 50,8 mm and 31.7 mm connection, SLV 20 mm and SLV 5.0 mm eyepiecesPhotography: primary focus and eyepiece projectionSturdy metal focuserSX2WL 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 kgMounting toolCigarette lighter cableSD103S II refracting telescopeFlip mirror2 eyepieces: SLV 20mm and SLV 5mmTube ringsDovetail mount7x50 finder scope  SXG aluminum tripod

Vixen AX103S apochromatic Refractor - optical Tube
The AX103S is a top-of-the-range ED apochromat in the refractor series. It features a triplet ED object lens and a rear-mounted field-flattener lens. The f8.0 refractor contains a central ED lens in the objective and reduces chromatic aberration to an absolute minimum. An optional focal reducer can reduce the aperture ratio to 1:5.6 in order to provide quicker results for astrophotographers. The built-in field flattener lens provides a sharp image across the entire field of view – an essential requirement in astrophotography. The 60 mm ring on the focuser allows you to attach a 2’’ eyepiece or accessories and a camera adapter. The AX103S is specially designed for photography, but also offers stunning visual performance, especially for observing the moon and the planets. The AX 103S is corrected for full frame photography and provides razor-sharp pictures right into the corners of the image field. This telescope is guaranteed to provide a lifetime of outstanding performance!
