AX103S Optical Tube Assembly
The advanced optical design produces crystal-clear high-contrast images with no trace of false color. The star images are as small as 20 microns at the edge of the imaging field. A premium AS coating applied to each lens surface enhances visible light transmission to 99.5% on any single surface (400-700nm) and assures extremely high light transmission.
Vixen's Flagship EQ Mount
The AXD2 mount is designed for both superior performance and ease of use. The revolutionary advanced star chart go-to navigation controller STAR BOOK TEN is the best companion for your observation sessions.
Polar Alignment Scope
A 6x20mm polar scope with illuminated reticle is provided with the AXD2 mount. With the help of a built-in Polaris position scale, it achieves an easy and accurate polar alignment within three arcminutes in the northern hemisphere.
STAR BOOK TEN Star Chart Go-To Navigation Controller
The STAR BOOK TEN features an intuitive 'Star-Chart Go-To' system with high-definition color LCD display. The position of the telescope, the target, and other useful information are displayed on the screen in detail. The night vision feature illuminates the whole screen in red, if applied, and will limit the brightness to the observer's eyes.
