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.

SXP2WL mount with fast R200SS reflector telescope (f4) in a complete set for professional astrophotographersWith this telescope set, you can start your exciting hobby immediately. It includes everything you need for astronomical observation: the powerful Newtonian telescope, an automatic mount with tracking and GoTo function, a tripod, and two eyepieces. The SXP2WL mount is equipped with the PFL-II polar finder for quick and easy alignment using reference stars as well as a Wifi module for wireless operation with a smartphone or tablet. This way, your telescope will automatically move to the objects you have selected. Over 259,000 celestial objects are already stored in the STAR BOOK APP. The R200SS Newtonian with its very short f4 focal ratio was optimized for photography and delivers sharp and high-contrast images. This bright and fast f-ratio allows you to capture breathtaking images of galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters in a short amount of time. This telescope is also perfect for comet hunting. It is also ideal for visual observation with its sharp images without chromatic aberration. You will be thrilled when you take a look at the Moon's surface with its many craters or observe Saturn with its rings. The SXP2WL mount is easily operated via a Wifi module with a smartphone or tablet. The free STAR BOOK Wireless app is available for user-friendly mount control. With this, you can easily use practical sky navigation functions like automatic GoTo slewing to specific celestial objects through your smartphone or tablet. Because 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 periods of astronomical observations and astrophotography. Selecting a celestial object from a list will automatically move it into the telescope's field of view, and tracking will begin. An existing STAR BOOK TEN controller can also be used with this mount without problems. Equipped with the same precision stepper motors as the top model, the AXD mount, the SXP2WL brings a new standard of performance and precision to the Vixen mount family. The cross-axis of the SXP2 mount, with its 17 kg photographic payload, weighs only 13.3 kg, making it excellent for mobile observations. Additionally, the motors mounted on the lower part of the mount also act as counterweights, requiring fewer additional weights for balance. Larger bearings are installed in the SXP2 mount than in previous models to improve accuracy and load capacity. The mount housing is also made of stronger materials. To make the polar block even more stable, the cross-axis is firmly clamped into a fork. The Vixen R200SS Reflector Telescope in Detail The highly light-gathering f/4 200 mm optics of the R200SS come with a parabolic primary mirror, delivering extremely sharp images without chromatic aberration. A special coating (state-of-the-art technology) provides the optimal surface for observing and photographing deep-sky objects. Vixen has developed a unique aluminum vacuum coating system that produces highly precise mirror surfaces. This revolutionary system allows greater precision through controlled coating of the primary mirror. This coating is also used in the Vixen VC200L. With its large aperture and short focal length, the R200SS telescope is ideal for astrophotography of nebulae, star clusters, and comets. When used with an optional coma corrector Art. X000150 (not included), it produces sharp images to the corners of a full-frame DSLR. The focuser features a 60 mm thread, allowing you to use 2-inch eyepieces with the appropriate adapter. The SXP2 Mount in Detail Stronger Mount HousingIn the SXP2 mount, larger bearings were installed than in previous models to improve accuracy and load capacity. Additionally, the mount housing is characterized by higher material thickness. To make the polar block even more stable, the cross-axis is firmly clamped into a fork. Very Precise Tracking with P-PEC FunctionThe SXP2 mount is delivered with the modern STAR BOOK TEN controller. It offers you the P-PEC function for particularly precise tracking. The abbreviation "PEC" stands for "Periodic Error Correction". The system corrects mechanical errors caused by periodic gear system inaccuracies. The SXP2 equatorial mount is equipped with a P-PEC function, which evolved from the PEC function. The P-PEC function saves your correction records even after the mount is powered off. This way, you don’t need to re-enter the data every time, allowing for faster operation and more precise tracking. Low-Noise Belt Drive System with Minimal PlayIn traditional motor-driven equatorial mounts, gears are used that are driven by the motor. However, this construction has the disadvantage of introducing some play between the gears. To avoid the resulting inaccuracies, the SXP2 mount features a belt drive system. This significantly reduces both gear play and motor noise. Furthermore, the device responds more quickly when corrections are required. 16 BearingsThe mechanical components of the SXP2 mount feature a total of 16 bearings. A set of tapered roller bearings is used for the RA axis to provide more stability for precise tracking. Stable Altitude Block for AlignmentThe SXP2 mount uses the same fork as the heavier AXJ mount. This new construction enables quick and stable latitude adjustment. Simple and Precise Polar Alignment Using Reference StarsThe 6x20 polar finder is pre-installed. This allows you to set polar alignment (for both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres). The polar finder provides a variable illuminated reticle with an automatic shut-off function. The brightness can be adjusted in 8 steps to suit your individual needs. Additionally, the polar finder features direct alignment 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 rails from other manufacturers. Combination of Innovative, Elegant Design and User-Friendly OperationThe stable, stiff mount body with very precise tracking has been further optimized with the P-PEC function. As a result, the SXP2 is a highly accurate and easy-to-use mount that will thrill every astrophotographer and observer. Special Motor Mounting for Fewer CounterweightsThe heavy RA and DEC motor units are mounted in the lower part of the declination axis, positioning the center of gravity of the cross-axis beneath the RA and DEC axes. This way, the declination body acts as a counterweight. Additionally, the flat mount head 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. You can use it with all counterweights from the SX and GP mount series. The counterweight bar is housed within the declination body. Accessory ShoeFor simple 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 allows you to control your Vixen mount via a smartphone or tablet. Using the free Smartphone App STAR BOOK Wireless, you can navigate the sky without cables. The app transforms your mobile device into a control system for the equatorial mount in no time. The response delay of the mount, which is typically the biggest drawback of wireless connections, has been reduced to a level comparable to wired solutions. Reduced Power Consumption Compared to Conventional Controllers with LCD MonitorThe mount's power consumption is reduced by up to 20%, enabling longer observations compared to conventional wired controllers like the STAR BOOK TEN. Operation Similar to the STAR BOOK TEN ControllerThe STAR BOOK Wireless App is similar to the STAR BOOK TEN controller. It contains up to 259,000 celestial objects, depending on the star chart settings. Tap an object in the list, and the GoTo process starts. The mount will automatically move the object into the telescope's field of view. All the popular features of the STAR BOOK TEN remain available. Comfortable OperationWhile looking through the telescope, you operate the mount by swiping on the app's star chart. With no buttons, you simply glide your finger across the star chart to comfortably control the mount. Comprehensive Astronomical Data IncludedIn addition to well-observed celestial bodies such as Messier objects, NGC objects, IC objects, the sun, moon, planets, comets, and dwarf planets, a vast amount of astronomical data is included. Highly Accurate AlignmentAligning to one or two stars gives you a reasonably accurate mount position. Aligning to three or more stars allows for highly accurate alignment for high magnifications. Objects will be positioned precisely and centrally in the telescope’s field of view. The alignment information is saved and can be retained even when the device is powered off. By leaving the telescope in its current position after finishing an observation, you can restart automatic installation with the same settings during your next observation. Customizable SettingsThe app, like the STAR BOOK TEN controller, offers various custom settings such as gear backlash compensation, night mode in red, autoguider support, and variable GoTo speed and LED brightness. You can also customize the timing of the tube flip (meridian flip) to your liking. Even if the object moves south during tracking, you can prevent the telescope tube from flipping.

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.

SXD2 mount with R200SS reflector telescope. The SXD2 mount comes with the new STARBOOK TEN controller and the PFL polar viewfinder, which allows you to configure the mount quickly and easily via reference stars. The R200ss was optimized for photography and allows very short exposure times. The telescope set also offers outstanding visual performance and produces sharp images without chromatic aberration. The SXD2 mount comes with the new STARBOOK TEN controller and the PFL-II polar viewfinder, which allows you to configure the mount quickly and easily via reference stars. The mount can be operated fully automatically and finds celestial objects automatically. The SXD 2 mount in detail With a combination of the best features from the Sphinx series and the all-new STAR BOOK TEN manual controller, Vixen has developed a new generation of SX mounts for demanding observers and astrophotographers. The SXD2 mount comes with the new STAR BOOK TEN controller and can be operated manually or with a computer. Featuring the same precision stepper motors as the top-of-the range AXD mount, the SXD2 sets a new standard for performance in the Vixen mount range. Compared with the SX mounts, the SXD2 has a quieter tracking system, and the increased precision of the motors provides better performance for the long exposure times used in astrophotography. Precision stepper motors and micro-step motion control system The star feature of the SXD2 is the precision stepper motors, which offer better performance and responsiveness than previous models. The micro-step motion control system has powerful yet very quiet drive characteristics that offer both fine control and quick swivel movements. Built-in bearings The bearings of the RA and DEC axles and the worm shafts were significantly improved in order to reduce the load on the motors. The motors are much quieter than those on previous models. Robust RA and DEC axles High-precision and thick steel shafts in RA and DEC axles increase the robustness of the SXD2 mount. High-precision worm gears High-precision processing technologies were used to rectify problems with the worm gear. The edges of both worms and worm gears are particularly smooth, which enables them to deliver very high precision. Declination axis functions as counterweight The sturdy motor units are located in the lower section of the declination axis to ensure that the SDX2’s centre of gravity is below the intersection of the RA and DEC axis. As a result, fewer additional counterweights are required. The R200SS in detail The R200SS features very fast f4 200 mm optics with a parabolic primary mirror and produces extremely sharp images with no chromatic aberration. A special layer made using state-of-the-art technology provides an optimal surface for observing and photographing deep-sky objects. The large aperture and short size make this device ideal for astrophotography of nebulae, star clusters and comets. The use of an optional coma corrector provides a sharp image until the edges of the field of view. The focuser features a socket for 2-inch eyepieces. The R200ss comes with 232 mm tube clamps and a dovetail bar.

SXP2 mount with SD103S apochromatic refractor. This telescope set has everything you need to observe the night sky.It includes a telescope, a mount with automatic tracking, a tripod and eyepieces.The SXP2 mount comes with the new STARBOOK TEN control technology and the PFL polar viewfinder, which allows you to configure the mount quickly and easily via reference stars.The SD103S was optimized for photography and provides a sharp image all the way to the edges. The telescope set also offers outstanding visual performance and produces sharp and high-contrast images without chromatic aberration. It also produces impressive images of the moon's craters and Saturn's ring system.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. Modern STAR BOOK TEN controller with high-resolution colour display and built-in star chartThe STAR BOOK TEN controller is a modern control system with a high-resolution colour monitor.The STAR BOOK TEN system contains more than 272,000 celestial objects, including 260,000 stars from the SAO catalogue, 109 Messier objects, 7840 NGC objects and 5380 IC objects, as well the soon, moon and planets. 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.
