Product information "Vixen SXP2WL-SD115S II Telescope Set"
SXP2WL SD115SII Complete Telescope Set with Wifi GoTo Mount, Tripod, and Eyepieces
Stronger Mount Body
The SXP2 mount is equipped with larger bearings than previous models to increase accuracy and load capacity. Additionally, the mount body is characterized by a thicker material. To further stabilize the polar block, the cross-axis is securely clamped into a fork mount.
Accessory Shoe
The #35511 Polar Meter can be easily and quickly attached to this shoe for polar alignment.
The Vixen Wifi Adapter for EQ mounts allows you to control your Vixen mount via a smartphone or tablet. This enables you to use the STAR BOOK Wireless smartphone app (free) for celestial navigation without cabling. The app quickly turns your mobile device into a controller for the equatorial mount. The mount’s response delay, often considered the biggest drawback of wireless connections, has been reduced to a level comparable to wired solutions.
Reduced Power Consumption Compared to Traditional Controllers with LCD Monitor
The power consumption of the mount is reduced by up to 20%, enabling longer observation sessions compared to traditional wired controllers like the STAR BOOK TEN.
Operation Similar to the STAR BOOK TEN Controller
The STAR BOOK Wireless App is similarly structured to the STAR BOOK TEN controller. Depending on the star chart settings, it contains up to 259,000 celestial objects. Simply tap on an object in the list and start the GoTo. The mount will automatically move to the target and bring it 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 can operate the mount by swiping on the app’s star chart. Since there are no buttons, you simply glide your finger over the star chart to easily control the mount.
Extensive Astronomical Data Included
This includes data on well-observed celestial bodies such as Messier objects, NGC objects, IC objects, as well as the sun, moon, planets, comets, and dwarf planets.
High-Precision Alignment
By aligning with one or two stars, you can achieve fairly accurate mount positioning. By aligning with three or more stars, a highly precise alignment for high magnifications can be achieved. Objects are then targeted precisely and centered in your telescope’s field of view. Alignment data is saved and can be retained even when the device is powered off. By leaving the telescope in its current state after an observation without moving it, you can start the automatic installation with the same settings during the next observation.
Customizable Settings
Like the STAR BOOK TEN controller, the app offers various individual settings such as gear backlash compensation, red night mode, autoguider, variable GoTo speed, and LED brightness. You can also set the timing of the optical tube flip (meridian flip) as desired. Even if the object moves south during tracking, you can prevent the telescope tube from flipping.
Important Information
Not compatible with older SX mounts using the old blue Star Book.
Technical Information on the Wifi Module
32-bit CISC processor CPU 120 MHz
The unit is connected to the mount via a D-SUB 9PIN connector, as with the STAR BOOK TEN.
It features a 6-pin 6-core modular plug for external autoguider operation.
Supported operating systems are Android 6 or higher, iOS 9.0 or higher, WiFi standard: IEEE 802.11b/g/n.
This high-quality apochromatic refractor telescope-set impresses with its 115-mm-SD optics. The telescope is made in Japan and stands out with its excellent craftsmanship, sharpness, and contrast performance. The advantage of this SD refractor lies in its lightweight design and ability to produce color-pure and contrast-rich images. You'll be amazed when you observe the moon’s surface with its craters or Saturn with its ring system. On Jupiter, during a good night, you’ll even see the two bright cloud bands and many smaller details, such as the Great Red Spot on the planet. On moonless nights, you can observe the Andromeda Nebula, Orion Nebula, Eagle Nebula, Lagoon Nebula, and many more fascinating objects. Fainter celestial objects become visible thanks to this 115 mm wide aperture under a good sky.
This telescope set "Made in Japan" leaves nothing to be desired. The FPL53 glass used in the telescope reproduces an extremely clear and sharp image by nearly eliminating any residual color errors. The SD glass is designed to bring all rays – violet, red, blue, yellow, and green – to the same plane. This special lens material reduces chromatic aberration across all colors. The new Vixen SD115SII has no spacers, which significantly improves image quality, especially for bright stars. In photographic images, no spikes are visible on the stars, which were previously caused by spacers.
In combination with the optional SD Reducer HD Kit or SD Flattener HD (not included), this refractor telescope provides an image circle of 44 mm for full-frame DSLR cameras. The older ED81SII, ED103S, and ED115S refractors were originally developed for visual observers and photographers using APS-C cameras. However, the new SD series, with the use of new internal baffles, has been optimized for full-frame cameras. The large 60-mm focuser also allows for the attachment of heavy cameras without tilting. Additionally, the included flip mirror enables comfortable observation even in awkward situations and offers a T2 thread for attaching a DSLR camera. You can observe straight through or at a 90° angle. The carrying handle attached to the tube rings ensures a secure grip when transporting the telescope. The sturdy metal tripod ensures vibration-free mounting of the telescope and mount even in windy conditions.
The SXP2WL mount is easily operated via a WiFi module with a smartphone or tablet. The free STAR BOOK Wireless app provides user-friendly mount control. With this app, you can use convenient celestial navigation functions such as automatic GoTo slewing to specific celestial objects easily through your smartphone or tablet. Since the conventional LCD screen (STAR BOOK TEN) is no longer required, the power consumption of the mount is reduced by up to 20%. This allows for longer periods of astronomical observation and astrophotography.
Select the desired celestial object from a list, and it will be automatically slewed into the telescope’s field of view, and tracking begins. An existing STAR BOOK TEN controller can also be used with this mount without any issues. Equipped with the same precision stepper motors as the top model, the AXD mount, the SXP2WL sets a new standard of performance and precision in the Vixen mount family.
The cross-axis of the SXP2 mount has a photographic payload capacity of 17 kg and weighs only 13.3 kg, making it ideal for mobile observations. Additionally, the motors in the lower part of the mount also act as counterweights, reducing the need for additional weights.

Very Precise Tracking with P-PEC Function
The SXP2 mount comes with the modern STAR BOOK TEN controller. It offers the P-PEC function for particularly precise tracking. "PEC" stands for "Periodic Error Correction". The system corrects mechanical errors caused by periodic gear errors. The P-PEC function available for the SXP2 equatorial mount is an enhancement of the PEC function. The P-PEC function stores your correction data even after the mount has been powered off. This means you do not need to re-enter the data every time, allowing for faster operation and more precise 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 creating some backlash between the gears. To avoid the resulting inaccuracies, the SXP2 mount features a belt drive system. This significantly reduces both gear backlash and drive noise. In addition, the mount responds faster when corrections are needed.

Vixen SD Reducer HD Kit
£467.00*
High-performance flattener and reducer set connection rings for Vixen telescopes SD81S, SD103S and SD115S, as well as the ED predecessor series.
High-performance flattener and reducer set
The kit consists of a high-performance flattener, a reducer for reducing the focal length, and connection rings (distance ring SD81, EX Tube 66), which were developed for prime-focus astrophotography with the SD81S, SD103S and SD115S telescopes.
The flattener and the 0.79x reducer deliver a significant increase in telescope performance and image quality.
You obtain a flat and sharp image until the edges, including with a full-frame DSLR camera.
Ultra-sharp image over the entire field of view of the DSLR full-frame sensor
The SD flattener improves the image quality to the edge of the field of view without changing the original focal length of the telescope.
The field of view of the DSLR camera with a full-frame sensor is fully illuminated (44 mm), ensuring that stars appear sharp until the edges of the image.
When used in conjunction with the Reducer HD, the focal length is reduced by a factor of 0.79 (f/7.7→6.1) whilst maintaining the 44 mm illumination.
High-contrast AS coating
The anti-reflex AS coating, which is also used on our high-end VSD 100 f/3.8 astrograph, delivers a high light transmission of 99.9% per lens surface. Loss of light, ghosting and scattered light images are virtually eliminated thanks to the completely matte interior coating.

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
