Vixen SXP2-SD115S-S-PFL Telescope Complete Set

SXP2WL mount with AX103S apochromatic high-performance refractor in a complete setWith this complete telescope set, you can immediately start your hobby. It includes everything you need for astronomical observation: a powerful AX103S apochromat, the corresponding mount with automatic GoTo tracking, 2 SLV 20 and SLV 5 eyepieces, and a sturdy tripod. 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.

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.

Who doesn't dream of exploring the beauties of the universe with their own eyes? This complete telescope set allows you to make your first celestial observations immediately and very easily. It contains everything you need for your new hobby: a reflector telescope with 130 mm aperture and 650 mm focal length, an equatorial mount, a tripod and extensive accessories for astronomical observations. The system is easy to operate and very flexible. You can look forward to fascinating views of the Moon and planets. Star clusters and gas nebulae also look impressive through the user-friendly entry-level telescope. Easy start with the astronomy all-rounder – the telescope The set includes a true classic among the reflector telescopes, a so-called Newtonian reflector. With this type of telescope, you look in at the front of the tube instead of at the back. The advantage: the observing position always remains comfortable, even when the telescope is pointed vertically upwards. In addition to observing comfort, reflectors also impress with their optical performance. After all, they are absolutely free of chromatic aberrations and thus offer good imaging properties. Due to its 130 mm aperture, the entry-level telescope already collects a lot of light from the celestial objects. In addition, there is the short focal ratio (ratio of the aperture to the focal length) of 1 to 5 (F/5), which derives from the 130 mm aperture and the 650 mm focal length. As a result, the fast beginner's telescope shows a bright image and enables high magnifications. You also benefit from the flexibility of this astronomical telescope: Admire the fascinating view of open and globular clusters such as M13 in the constellation Hercules at low to medium magnification. Or marvel at gas nebulae such as the famous Orion Nebula M42. At high magnifications, on the other hand, the entry-level telescope brings you closer to the impressive planets and exciting details on our Moon. How big do the astronomical eye-catchers appear? Due to the resolving power achieved with the aperture of 130 mm, the telescope shows you sharp images at magnifications up to about 260x. With the included accessories, you can already reach 195x. The technology allows even more, but the image sharpness can decrease at even higher magnifications. However, it is not only the telescope that determines how much you can magnify. It also depends on the air turbulence in the atmosphere (seeing conditions). Note for nature lovers: If you choose a Newtonian telescope like the Pegasus reflector telescope, you can look forward to a specialist in astronomical observation. However, the image is always displayed laterally reversed as well as upside down, which makes no difference when observing the sky. However, this type of telescope is less suitable for nature and landscape observation during the day. Would you like to use your new telescope for exciting nature discoveries as well? Then we recommend that you choose one of the BRESSER refractor telescopes. User-friendly base – mount and tripod Found the perfect place for your celestial observations? Then you can start installing your astronomical telescope on the height-adjustable stainless steel tripod with equatorial mount. The advantage over azimuthal mounts: you only have to move along one axis instead of two. The reason is that you align the other one parallel to the earth's axis beforehand. This so-called "alignment" is very easy: you simply point the axis approximately at Polaris. In addition, the mount comes equipped with two flexible shafts with fine adjustment. Perfect for aligning and tracking the telescope particularly precisely and comfortably. Everything always within reach: on the practical storage plate, your accessories are quickly at hand if needed.Keep track of things automatically: For this telescope’s equatorial EQ-3 mount, the tracking motor with item number 4951400 is available as an optional accessory. This eliminates the need to manually track a celestial object set in the telescope. When this motor is installed at the mount, it automatically tracks the celestial object, keeping it in the field of view of the eyepiece. This makes observing the night sky even more comfortable! Complete astro package to start stargazing immediately – the accessories The comprehensive astronomy accessories make it easier for you to get started and enable you to see your favourite celestial bodies from completely different perspectives. To align the telescope and find your way around the night sky you can mount the LED finder parallel to the telescope. The method is simple: a red dot is projected onto a small ground-glass screen inside the viewfinder. When you look through the dot appears to hover in front of the sky – exactly at the point where the entry-level telescope is pointed. This way, you can easily find astronomical objects through the illuminated dot finder and then marvel at them in detail using the high magnification of your telescope. Vary your view of the stars: with the two eyepieces (10 mm and 25 mm), you can admire your nocturnal observation objects in two different magnifications. They are simply inserted into the eyepiece focuser of the telescope via their 1.25-inch-sockets, which is a standard diameter. You want to look even closer? Then the included 3x barlow lens can triple the magnification of the eyepieces. Explore the night sky on your own through the versatile BRESSER Pegasus 130/650 EQ3 reflector telescope. FEATURES Reflector telescope for beginners with 130 mm aperture and 650 mm focal length Reflector type: Newton Good for observing Moon, planets as well as star clusters and gas nebulae Height-adjustable tripod with equatorial EQ3 mount Precise positioning due to flexible shafts and fine adjustment in both axes Easy to use, very well suited for beginners Focal ratio F/5, thus well suited for many celestial objects 1.25 inch (31.7 mm) focuser Two eyepieces and a barlow lens with 1.25 inch (31.7 mm) sockets for different magnifications SCOPE OF DELIVERY Telescope Stainless steel tripod Equatorial EQ3 mount Eyepieces: 10 mm and 25 mm (1.25 inch sockets) Barlow lens 3x (1.25 inch socket) LED illuminated dot finder Accessory tray Astronomy software download Instruction manual

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.

AXD2 GoTo mount with AX103S telescope set The AXD2 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.This telescope set has everything that you need for hobby astronomy.It includes a telescope, a mount with automatic tracking and a sturdy tripod. 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 friendsan 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 mod
