The VC200L optical tube delivers exceptionally sharp star images with minimal distortion across the field of view, making it highly effective for prime-focus astrophotography. The SX2WL equatorial mount features automatic Go-To slewing to celestial objects with simple, intuitive control from your smartphone.
VISAC stands for Vixen Sixth-order Aspherical Catadioptric, an original Vixen catadioptric optical tube design that, as the name suggests, employs a 6th-order aspherical primary mirror. It features a three-element field corrector lens within the baffle tube, which effectively corrects coma, spherical aberration, and field curvature across the entire field of view, producing 15 μm star images even at the edge of the photographic field. With an optional “Reducer HD” or at prime focus, it delivers outstanding performance for deep-sky imaging of diffuse nebulae and extragalactic objects.
While retaining the excellent usability of the SX series equatorial mounts, this model has been revamped with the same micro-step-driven pulse motors used in the SXD2 series. By increasing the number of bearings from one to five, Vixen has achieved even greater operational stability. You can enjoy automatic Go-To slewing to celestial objects, all easily controlled from your smartphone.
The “Wireless Unit” is included as standard, allowing you to control your equatorial mount with your smartphone. By installing a free dedicated smartphone app “STAR BOOK Wireless” on your device, you can use it as a controller.
The "STAR BOOK Wireless" smartphone app inherits the highly acclaimed interface of the STAR BOOK TEN controller, renowned for its ease of use. Simply view the star chart displayed on your screen, tap the celestial object you want to observe, and the mount will automatically slew to it and begin tracking. Following the intuitive display design of the STAR BOOK TEN, the app is easy for anyone to use without difficulty.
