The Vixen SD103SII Telescope OTA is a new 103 mm apochromatic refractor with high-performance Super-ED glass (= SD). The advantage of this SD refractor is its short length and low weight. The FPL53 glass reproduces an extremely clear and sharp image by an exceptionally high degree of elimination of residual chromatic aberrations. The SD glass is designed to bring all beams of violet, red, blue, yellow and green very precisely together on the same plane. The special lens material reduces chromatic aberration across all colours.The new Vixen SD103SII no longer uses spacer plates, which leads to a significantly better image quality, especially with bright stars. In photographic images, no spikes can be seen on the stars, which were otherwise produced by the spacer plates. In addition, you will be thrilled when you look at the moon or the brighter planets and observe the moon craters pin sharp as well as with extremely high contrast. Also look at the ring planet Saturn or the cloud bands on Jupiter. But of course, brighter deep sky objects such as the Orion Nebula or the Andromeda Galaxy can also be observed in impressive detail.In combination with the new optional SD Reducer HD Kit or SD Flattener HD, these refractors allow illumination with a 44 mm image circle for full format SLR cameras. The older ED81SII, ED103S, ED115S refractors were originally developed for visual observers and photographers using APS-C cameras. However, the new SD series is also optimised for use with full-frame cameras through the use of new inner baffle rings. The large 60 mm eyepiece extension also allows heavy cameras to be attached without tilting. Furthermore, the included folding mirror allows comfortable observation even in unfavourable observation situations and additionally offers a T2 thread for connecting a DSLR camera. This allows you to observe in straight line or at a 90° angle. The carrying handle attached to the tube clamps ensures a secure grip when transporting the telescope. FEATURESObjective lens: D=103 mm, multi-coated 2-lens SD apochromat without spacer plates No more spikes on the stars Focal length: 795 mm (f7.7) Resolution and limiting magnitude: 1.13 arcseconds; 11.8 Light gathering power: approx. 217x more than the human eye Dimensions and weight: 115 mm dia x 810 mm; 5.5 kg Viewfinder telescope: 7x50 illuminated Adapters and connections: 60 mm thread, 50.8 mm and 31.7 mm socket, thread for T-ring Connection: 50.8 mm and 31.7 mm socket with flip mirror / folding mirror Photography: primary focus and eyepiece projection SCOPE OF DELIVERY Refractor SD103SII Telescope (OTA) Tube clamp with dovetail Dew cap Flip mirror / folding mirror Carrying handle Dovetail rail 7x50 viewfinder

Vixen has developed a new generation of SX mounts for demanding observers and astrophotographers. The
SX2WL mount is simply operated via a Wifi module with a smartphone or
tablet.
By controlling the mount with your smartphone using the free STAR
BOOK Wireless app, you can easily use sky navigation functions such as
automatic GoTo panning of celestial objects via your smartphone or
tablet.
By eliminating the power consumption of the conventional LCD (STAR BOOK TEN), the power consumption on the mount is reduced by up to
20%, thus enabling longer astronomical observation and
astrophotography. When the desired celestial object is
selected from a list, it is automatically panned into the telescope's
field of view and tracking begins.An existing STAR BOOK TEN
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 SXD2WL 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 weighs just 7.0 kg (15.4 lbs) making it ideal for mobile observations.In addition, the motors
mounted in the lower part of the mount also serve as a counterweight,
so the mount requires fewer weights for balancing. The SX2 mount in detail Precision
stepper motors and micro-step motion control systemAt the heart of the SXD2 are the precision stepper motors, which offer
better performance and response than previous models. The micro-step
motion control system offers powerful and yet very smooth drive
characteristics, which are given both in fine movements and in fast
pans. 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 smoothly than in previous models. High-precision worm gearsHigh-precision processing technologies eliminate worm gear errors. The
edges of the two worms and worm wheels are particularly smooth,
enabling very precise tracking. Declination axis as counterweightThe solid motor units are installed in the lower part of the declination
axis so that the center of gravity of the SXD2 is below the
intersection point of the RA and DEC axes. This means you need fewer
additional counterweights. Latitude setting 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 increments; fine adjustment with a
tangent screw head, approx. 0.8 degrees per turn. The wireless module in detail The
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 app turns 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 monitor The power consumption of the mount is reduced by up to 20%, allowing longer observations than with conventional
wired controllers such as the STAR BOOK TEN. Operation similar to the STAR BOOK TEN controllerThe STAR BOOK Wireless app has a similar structure to the STAR BOOK TEN controller.
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 retained. Convenient operation When 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 included In 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 alignment By aligning the mount to one or two stars, you can already achieve
fairly precise positioning.
By aligning the mount 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 your telescope's field of
view.
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 options As with the STAR BOOK TEN control unit, the app offers various individual settings, such as gear backlash compensation, night mode in red,
autoguider and variable GoTo speed and LED brightness.
You can also set the timing of the reversal of the objective tube (meridian flip) as desired.
Even if the object moves to the south during tracking, you can prevent the telescope tube from reversing. Important note: Cannot be used on old SX mounts with the old blue Star Book! Technical information about the Wifi module: CPU with 32-bit CISC processor 120 MHz The unit is connected to the mount via a D-SUB 9PIN connector as with the STAR BOOK TEN.
It has a 6-pin 6-wire modular plug for external autoguider operation.

The Vixen SD115IIS is a new 115 mm apochromatic refractor with high-performance Super-ED glass (= SD). The advantage of this SD refractor is its short length and low weight. The FPL53 glass reproduces an extremely clear and sharp image by an exceptionally high degree of elimination of residual chromatic aberrations. The SD glass is designed to bring all beams of violet, red, blue, yellow and green very precisely together on the same plane. The special lens material, reduces chromatic aberration across all colours.The new Vixen SD115SII no longer uses spacer plates, which leads to a significantly better image quality, especially with bright stars. In photographic images, no spikes can be seen on the stars, which were otherwise produced by the spacer plates. In addition, you will be thrilled when you look at the moon or the brighter planets and observe the moon craters pin sharp as well as with extremely high contrast. Also look at the ring planet Saturn or the cloud bands on Jupiter. But of course, brighter deep sky objects such as the Orion Nebula or the Andromeda Galaxy can also be observed in impressive detail.In combination with the new optional SD Reducer HD Kit or SD Flattener HD, this refractor allows illumination with a 44 mm image circle for full format SLR cameras. The older ED81SII, ED103S, ED115S refractors were originally developed for visual observers and photographers using APS-C cameras. However, the new SD series is also optimised for use with full-frame cameras through the use of new inner baffle rings. The large 60 mm eyepiece extension also allows heavy cameras to be attached without tilting. Furthermore, the included folding mirror allows comfortable observation even in unfavourable observation situations and additionally offers a T2 thread for connecting a DSLR camera. This allows you to observe in straight line or at a 90° angle. The carrying handle attached to the tube clamps ensures a secure grip when transporting the telescope.
