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 DetailThe 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 Housing
In 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 Function
The 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 Play
In 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.

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 Monitor
The 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 Controller
The 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 Operation
While 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 Included
In 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 Alignment
Aligning 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 Settings
The 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.
Technical Information about the Wifi Module

BRESSER Full HD Deep-Sky Camera & Guider 1.25"
£289.00*
BRESSER Full HD Deep Sky Camera with autoguider: a great camera for different types of astrophotography and for autoguiding. Not only suitable for planets, but also for deep-sky objects such as galaxies, nebulae and star clusters. Dedicated ToupSky Astro Imaging software supports video preview, video recording, video processing, image capture and processing, dark field correction and raw data output. Easy to use, but with professional results.
One of the main features of the new backlit SONY IMX290 CMOS sensor is its high light sensitivity, which makes it possible to detect deep-sky objects without active cooling. SONY has increased the quantum efficiency at 533 nm wavelength up to 77%, which is much better than other CMOS sensors have been able to achieve in the past.
Connect this camera to a guidescope and attach the camera's built-in ST-4 port, directly to your telescope's equatorial mount guide port and autoguide - using many popular audioguiding programs (PHD, Guidedog and more). Autoguiding enables you to take accurate pictures with long exposure times of several minutes. Thanks to the extra light-sensitive camera, you now always have a suitable guide star to hand, even using short exposure times. An ST-4 protocol connection cable is also included. Simple automatic tracking at its best.
You can use this camera with all guiding telescopes, or off-axis guiders that accept a 1.25 " tube, 1.25" filter thread (M28.5x0.6) or C-mount adapter thread (1 "x1 /32").
IMPORTANT NOTES:
This is not a stand-alone guider camera. You always need a Windows 10/11 computer to take pictures and for autoguiding.
The autoguider software is not included. You can use PHD2 Guiding, Guidedog, Metaguide, Guidemaster (freeware) or AstroArt, MaxIm DL (paid).

Vixen SLV 50° eyepiece 2.5 mm (1.25")
£133.00*
The SLV eyepieces with high-quality lanthanum glass provide remarkably clear and high-contrast images of the night sky right to the edge of the field of view. The lanthanum elements almost completely eliminate chromatic aberration, producing a colour-neutral image right up to the edges. The lenses are also fully multi-coated for high light transmission.
The eyecup can be twisted up and down, making the eyepiece suitable for glasses wearers. The large exit pupil distance of 20 mm means that the eye does not become fatigued during longer periods of use, and the entire field of view can be seen clearly even when wearing glasses.
The eyepiece also features a standard 1.25" filter thread for colour and nebula filters. In addition, the insides of the eyepiece sleeves are fully blackened to reduce distracting reflections.
FEATURES
Very high contrast and sharpness over the entire field of view
Comfortable interpupillary distance of 20 mm
Lanthanum glass almost completely eliminates chromatic aberration
31.7 mm eyepiece barrel
1.25" filter thread
Full multi-layered coating
Eyecup can be twisted down for glasses wearers

Vixen SG-L02 Headlamp red-light white-light
£65.00*
The perfect LED head torch for nighttime observations!
Adjusting your eyes to the dark surroundings is very important when making astronomical observations.
In dark areas, it is very difficult to use astronomical equipment without a suitable light.
With normal lights, however, the light intensity is more important than protecting your eyes against bright light.
Using these lights at night makes your pupils contract, which can make it difficult for your eyes to readjust to the darkness.
The SG-L01, our first astronomy LED lamp, featured a built-in red LED that provided a solution to this problem.
However, the red light did not offer optimal visibility. On our new astronomy LED light, the SG-L02, the LED lights produce warm light to improve visibility.
They also ensure that your eyes stay adapted to the dark.
The LEDs do not emit light in the sensitive range of 555 nm.
The brightness of the white light can be adjusted between 3 and 42 lumen, while the red light can be adjusted between 0.28 and 7.62 lumen.
FEATURES
Dimmable red light ensures that your eyes stay adapted to the dark
Built-in rechargeable battery, charges via USB
Waterproof design
LED colour can be switched from red to white
0.28 to 7.62 lumen for red light
3 to 42 lumen for white light
