With the usage of barlow lenses, you can extend the equivalent focal length of telescopes and hence increase the magnification of your observed targets. Subsequently, you can use lower power eyepieces in Barlows to act as much more powerful eyepieces, but retain the larger ocular size and more comfortable viewing that comes with lower power eyepiece designs.Due to their two lens design, these Barlow lenses provide a brilliant image quality for the whole visual field and are suitable for observations and photography. The black coloured Barlow element cell in this BRESSER Barlow Lens 2x 31.8mm/1.25," can be unscrewed and has the same thread as 1.25" filters, allowing it to be mounted in 1.25" eyepieces, t-adapters and other accessories, giving you flexibility of use and the ability to vary magnification in different accessories. For instance, the black Barlow cell screwed into the average length nosepiece of a standard push fit t-adapter will give around 1.6x magnification on an attached DSLR. This can be very useful when trying to get to photographic focus with some Newtonians and Solar Telescopes, which lack the necessary amount of in focus travel to get a camera to a prime focus position.FEATURESsuitable for observations and photographydoubling of the focal lengthtwo lens designfully multi-coatedWHAT'S INCLUDEDBarlow lens (1pc)

Vixen’s latest design of polar finder, allows a simple, hassle-free method of polar alignment. The Vixen Polarscope PF-L II for AP & SX mounts has a reticule showing the Pole star (Polaris) and two other stars (Delta UMi and 51 Cep) in their precise positions. By turning the Polarscope you can easily match the reticle with the asterism of these stars in the sky and mechanically adjust your mount’s azimuth and altitude axes to align to the true North Pole. You can then adjust the Polar star to a more precise alignment using the reticule’s year marking (which runs from 2015 to 2040, but in practise can be used much longer after this) .
Using this alignment process, with visual reference to the actual stars in the sky, a complicated alignment, using date and time to calculate Polaris offset from the pole is unnecessary. For alignment in the Southern Hemisphere you simply use the Trapezium asterism (Sigma, Chi, Tau and Upsilon Octantis) of the constellation Octans and position the reticule with the trapezium stars aligned to their marked positions.
The Polarscope has built-in LED illumination, which is dimmable in many stages, and ensures an automatic shut-off after 2 minutes, saving your battery life.
The PFL-II also has an improved edge sharpness, when compared with its predecessor.

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.
