The set features an exquisite photo-visual AX103S refracting telescope, an SXD2WL mount (a deluxe version of the SX2WL), and an SXG-HAL130 tripod.

This set includes the AX103S optical tube, featuring Vixen's original triplet-element SD apochromatic design that minimizes various aberrations to produce exceptionally sharp, distortion-free images. It offers outstanding optical performance for both visual observation and astrophotography. Paired with the SXD2WL equatorial mount that comes with the Wireless Unit, this combination meets the demands of advanced celestial observation. The SXG-HAL130 tripod is suitable for those planning portable star-watching or astrophotography expeditions.

Vixen Telescope SXD2WL-AX103S Description

  • AX103S Optical Tube Assembly

    By placing an SD glass element at the center of its three-element objective lens, this unit achieves exceptionally high correction for chromatic aberration, producing clear and sharp images. Additionally, the fourth objective lens (corrector lens) inside the focuser drawtube ensures star images remain as sharp as 20 microns throughout the edges of the field of view. With numerically controlled precision multicoating, a light transmission rate of 99.5% per surface (400–700 nm) is achieved.

  • SXD2WL Mount, Deluxe Model in a Class equipped with Wireless Unit

    This high-spec equatorial mount has been meticulously engineered from start to finish—from the careful selection of materials and well-thought-out placement of bearings to the precise cutting and machining of each part—all to maximize its performance as an equatorial mount.

  • Wireless Unit Included! Cable-Free, Comfortable Celestial Navigation

    The "Wireless Unit" is included as standard, allowing you to control your equatorial mount with your smartphone or tablet. 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.
