The mount can be operated fully automatically and finds celestial objects automatically.The SXP 2 mount in detailStrong mount housingCompared with previous models, the new SXP2 mount features larger bearings in order to increase the accuracy and load capacity.The mounting housing is made from a stronger material than the previous SX mounts.The equatorial head is clamped into a fork in order to increase the stability of the polar alignment wedge.Precise tracking with P-PEC functionThe SXP2 mount comes with the modern STARBOOK TEN control system. This includes a P-PEC function for precise tracking. PEC stands for ''Periodic Error Corrections'' and corrects errors in the mechanics which lead to periodic errors in the gear systems. The P-PEC function, which is based on the PEC function, is designed for the SXP2 equatorial mount. The P-PEC function saves the records of corrections, even after the power supply to the mount has been switched off. It is not necessary to re-enter the data each time, which enables a quicker setup and more precise tracking.The belt drive system minimizes backlash and noiseConventional motor-driven systems on equatorial mounts use gear wheels, which are driven by the motor. However, this design generates backlash under the gear wheels, which can lead to inaccuracies.To avoid these errors, the drive was converted to a belt drive system. This drastically reduces the backlash of the gear unit, as well as the noise generated by the drive system. It also ensures a quicker reaction when corrections are required.16 bearingsThe mechanical parts contain a total of 16 bearings.The SXP2 mount uses a set of tapered roller bearings for the RA axis in order to provide additional stability for more precise tracking.Stable polar alignment wedgeThe SXP2 mount uses the same fork as the heavy AXJ mount. This new construction enables a quick and stable configuration of the latitude setting.Simple and precise polar alignment via reference starThe 6x20 polar finder scope is pre-installed. This allows the user to configure the polar alignment (for both the northern and southern hemispheres). The polar finder scope has a variable illuminated reticle with an automatic power-off function. The brightness can be adjusted in 8 levels so that the user can configure the desired brightness.The polar finder scope can be configured directly via three reference stars and can reach an accuracy of up to 3 arc minutes.Variable mount headThe mount head has a diameter of 35 mm and features 8 threaded holes for M8 screws spaced at 45 degrees. An optional accessory tray can be attached to the mount head directly or in combination with an optional mounting wedge for dovetail plates. The threaded holes on the mounting head can also be used to mount rails from other manufacturers.

Featuring the STARBOOK TEN control system, the telescope locates celestial objects automatically so that you don't need to search for them manually.Even if you're not an expert, you can still give your friends an exciting tour through the night sky!The AXD2 mount in detail:Robust construction and lightweight housing with 30 kg load capacity (photographic)The A7075 superalloy, the strongest aluminium alloy, is used for the R.A. and DEC axes. The stability of the A7075 superalloy is stronger than titanium, which is known for its strength as a lightweight material. Its thickness is 38% less than titanium. Using the A7075 superalloy for the axes ensures that the AXD mount is both lightweight and stable.21 bearingsThe rotating parts of the AXD mount have a total of 21 bearings. These ensure uniform motion in order to swivel the telescope and track objects.Stepper motorsVixen uses precise stepper motors for the mount in order to ensure optimal performance. The motors are controlled via a micro-step motion control system, which eliminates the disadvantage of stepper motors with large steps. The system generates 400 impulses per second at a high speed. This results in very quiet scanning with no vibrations. The stepper motors on the AXD mount have sufficient torques. This is most significant when working at high magnifications and photographing with a CCD camera with small pixel sizes.Worm gearsThe sizes of the worm gears were increased in the latest Atlux version. The AXD mount has 270 teeth in the R.A. axis and 216 teeth in the DC axis. Both axes are 50 mm in diameter. This ensures that the mount operates with precision and stability.Low backlashThe Vixen micro-step motion control system ensures that the stepper motors run uniformly at low and high speeds. This eliminates the need for reduction gears in the motor and therefore reduces the backlash in the gears.Elegant designThe flat sides of the mount were designed based on previous generations of the New Atlux range. The white and silver housing provides a modern and elegant exterior with high functionality.The AXD is the flagship model in the Vixen mount range.Original motor layoutThe solid R.A. and DEC motor units are arranged in the lower part of the mount. This means that they automatically act as a counterweight. As a result, you require far fewer weights on the counterweight bar. On small devices, no counterweight is required. The counterweight bar can be slid fully into the housing.Polar finder scopeThe AXD mount is equipped with a 6x20 polar finder as standard. The polar finder features an integrated scale, which provides a quick and easy way to polar align the telescope in the northern hemisphere.For observations in southern latitudes, the polar finder features an image of the Octans constellation, which can be aligned with the night sky.VPEC periodic error correctionPeriodic errors on mounts are usually measured and corrected by the user. Unlike the old StarBook controller, the STAR BOOK TEN controller saves these errors permanently. The periodic error of the mount is measured in the factory and corrected before delivery. This is known as VPEC and functions automatically as soon as you use the mount.It delivers an accuracy of +/- 2.8 arc seconds. You can increase the tracking accuracy further by saving your own recorded periodic errors.The VMC 260 telescope in detailThe optics of the VMC260L are significantly better than the traditional Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. Despite its high 3000 mm focal length, it is just 650 mm long.Featuring a large 260 mm aperture, the telescope collects large amounts of light for serious professional observations and photography of the planets and countless deep-sky objects.Thanks to the dielectric mirrors, the VMV260L guarantees razor-sharp images and maximum brightness. The open lens barrels cool the telescope quicker than conventional closed Cassegrain systems.The telescope can be used with an optional 0.62x focal reducer to reduce the aperture ratio to 1:7.1. This shortens the exposure times and allows you to photograph large objects. The telescope comes with a standard dovetail bar and a carry handle that doubles up as a camera holder for night sky photography.

The SXP2WL mount is equipped with the PFL-II polar finder for quick and easy alignment using reference stars, as well as a WiFi adapter with the STARBOOK APP. This allows the telescope to automatically navigate to the objects you select. The AX103S apochromat has been optimized for astrophotography and provides a sharp image even to the corners of a full-frame DSLR camera. But the telescope is also ideal for visual observation, offering high-contrast images without chromatic aberrations. The AX103S Apochromat in DetailThe AX103S is a top-class ED apochromat from the Vixen Refractor series. The telescope is equipped with a Triplet SD lens, and there is a field flattener lens located at the rear. Additionally, the f/8.0 refractor includes a central ED lens in the objective, which reduces chromatic aberration to an absolute minimum.An optional Focal Reducer (not included) can reduce the aperture ratio to 1:5.6, allowing for faster results in astrophotography. The integrated field flattener ensures a sharp image all the way to the edge of the field of view – an essential requirement for high-quality images of celestial bodies.With the 60 mm ring on the focuser, you can use 2'' eyepieces with the telescope or attach a camera adapter.The AX103S has been specifically designed for photographic applications and corrected for full-frame photography. However, it is also a visual delight, particularly for observing the moon and planets.This excellent telescope is guaranteed to impress you for a lifetime! The SXP2WL Mount in Detail Stronger Mount HousingThe SXP2WL mount features larger bearings than previous models to increase accuracy and load capacity. Additionally, the mount housing is made of thicker material. To make the polar block even more stable, the axis cross is clamped firmly into a fork. Very Precise Tracking with P-PEC FunctionThe SXP2WL mount is supplied with the modern STAR BOOK TEN controller. It offers a P-PEC function for highly precise tracking. The term 'PEC' stands for Periodic Error Correction. This system corrects errors in the mechanics, caused by periodic inaccuracies in the gear system.The P-PEC function saves your correction data even after the power is switched off, so you don't need to re-enter the data each time, allowing for faster operation and more precise tracking. Low-Noise Belt Drive System with Minimal BacklashIn conventional motor drive systems for equatorial mounts, gears are used to transmit power from the motor. However, this design can introduce a certain amount of backlash between the gears.To avoid the inaccuracies caused by this, the SXP2WL mount features a belt drive system, which significantly reduces both backlash and drive noise. Additionally, the system responds faster to any necessary corrections. 16 BearingsThe mechanical parts of the SXP2WL mount include a total of 16 bearings. The RA axis uses a set of tapered roller bearings to achieve more stability for more precise tracking. Stable Polar Altitude Block for AlignmentThe SXP2WL mount uses the same fork as the heavier AXJ mount. This new design allows for quick and stable latitude adjustment. Easy and Accurate Polar Alignment Using Reference StarsThe 6x20 polar finder scope is pre-installed. This allows you to set up the polar alignment (for both the northern and southern hemispheres). The polar finder offers a variable illuminated reticle with an automatic shut-off feature. Brightness is adjustable in 8 levels, so you can tailor it to your individual needs. The polar finder is also equipped with a direct setting using three reference stars and can achieve an accuracy of up to 3 arcminutes. 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 dovetail mounting block. In addition, the threaded holes on the mount head allow the use of mounting rails from other manufacturers. Combination of Innovative, Elegant Design and User-Friendly OperationThe stable, rigid mount body with very precise tracking has been further optimized by the P-PEC function. The SXP2WL is a highly precise and easy-to-use mount that is sure to excite any astrophotographer or observer. Special Motor Mounting for Fewer CounterweightsThe heavy RA and DEC motor units are mounted in the lower part of the declination axis, so the centre of gravity of the axis cross is below the RA and DEC axis. This means the declination body acts as a counterweight. The flat mounting head also allows the mount to be balanced with significantly fewer counterweights. Retractable Counterweight BarThe counterweight bar is made of solid stainless steel and has a diameter of 20 mm. It allows you to use all the counterweights of the SX and GP mount series. The counterweight bar is housed in the declination body. Accessory ShoeFor easy and quick polar alignment, the #35511 polar meter can be slid onto this shoe.Latitude AdjustmentThe latitude can be adjusted 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 enables you to control your Vixen mount via a smartphone or tablet. Using the free STAR BOOK Wireless smartphone app, you can navigate the skies without any cables. The app instantly transforms your mobile device into a controller for the equatorial mount. The response delay of the mount, which is often the main drawback of wireless connections, has been minimized to a level comparable to wired solutions. Reduced Power Consumption Compared to Conventional LCD ControllersThe power consumption of the mount is reduced by up to 20%, enabling longer observation periods compared to traditional wired controllers like the STAR BOOK TEN. Similar Operation to the STAR BOOK TEN ControllerThe STAR BOOK Wireless app is designed similarly to the STAR BOOK TEN controller, offering up to 259,000 celestial objects, depending on the star chart settings. Simply tap a celestial object in the object list and initiate GoTo slewing. The mount will automatically move to the selected target and bring it into the telescope's field of view. All the beloved features of the STAR BOOK TEN remain available. Comfortable OperationWhen looking through the telescope, you can operate the mount by swiping on the star chart in the app. With no buttons, you simply slide your finger across the star chart, making the mount easy to control. Extensive Astronomical Data IncludedIn addition to data on well-observed celestial objects like Messier objects, NGC objects, IC objects, the sun, moon, planets, comets, and dwarf planets, the app also includes data for other objects. High-Precision AlignmentAligning the mount with one or two stars will give you fairly accurate positioning. With three or more stars, you can achieve highly precise alignment for high magnifications. The objects will then be centered in the telescope’s field of view. Alignment information is saved and retained even when the device is powered off. If you leave the telescope in its current state after completing an observation, you can start the automatic installation with the same settings the next time. Customizable SettingsThe app offers similar customization options to the STAR BOOK TEN controller, including backlash compensation, night mode in red, autoguider support, variable GoTo speed, and LED brightness adjustment. You can also configure when the telescope tube will flip (meridian flip). Even when the object is moving south during tracking, you can prevent the telescope tube from flipping.

This includes a P-PEC function for precise tracking. PEC stands for ''Periodic Error Corrections'' and corrects errors in the mechanics which lead to periodic errors in the gear systems. The P-PEC function, which is based on the PEC function, is designed for the SXP2 equatorial mount. The P-PEC function saves the records of corrections, even after the power supply to the mount has been switched off. It is not necessary to re-enter the data each time, which enables a quicker setup and more precise tracking.The belt drive system minimizes backlash and noiseConventional motor-driven systems on equatorial mounts use gear wheels, which are driven by the motor. However, this design generates backlash under the gear wheels, which can lead to inaccuracies.To avoid these errors, the drive was converted to a belt drive system. This drastically reduces the backlash of the gear unit, as well as the noise generated by the drive system. It also ensures a quicker reaction when corrections are required.16 bearingsThe mechanical parts contain a total of 16 bearings.The SXP2 mount uses a set of tapered roller bearings for the RA axis in order to provide additional stability for more precise tracking.Stable polar alignment wedgeThe SXP2 mount uses the same fork as the heavy AXJ mount. This new construction enables a quick and stable configuration of the latitude setting.Simple and precise polar alignment via reference starThe 6x20 polar finder scope is pre-installed. This allows the user to configure the polar alignment (for both the northern and southern hemispheres). The polar finder scope has a variable illuminated reticle with an automatic power-off function. The brightness can be adjusted in 8 levels so that the user can configure the desired brightness.The polar finder scope can be configured directly via three reference stars and can reach an accuracy of up to 3 arc minutes.Variable mount headThe mount head has a diameter of 35 mm and features 8 threaded holes for M8 screws spaced at 45 degrees. An optional accessory tray can be attached to the mount head directly or in combination with an optional mounting wedge for dovetail plates. The threaded holes on the mounting head can also be used to mount rails from other manufacturers.

Objects can be accessed by name, and information such as images and data can be defined separately.A combination of innovative, elegant design and user-friendly featuresThe improved design of the stable and rigid mount body, which features precise tracking with a P-PEC function and STAR BOOK TEN control system, offers a highly precise, easy to use mount that is guaranteed to please astrophotographers and observers.Special motor mount for lighter counterweightThe heavy RA and DEC motor units are built into the bottom of the declination axis to ensure that the centre of gravity of the equatorial head is below the RA and DEC axis. This enables the declination body to function as a counterweight. Thanks to the flat mounting head, the mount can be balanced with a significantly lighter counterweight.Retractable counterweight barThe counterweight bar is made from solid stainless steel with a thickness of 20 mm, and enables the use of all counterweights from the SX and GP mount series. The counterweight bar is housed in the declination body.The SD103S in detailA new apochromatic refractor with high-performance Super ED glass (=SD).The FPL53 glass reproduces an extremely clear and sharp image by eliminating residual chromatic aberration.Another advantage of these SD refractors is their short length and lightweight design.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.
