The set features an exquisite photo-visual AX103S refracting telescope, an SXP2WL mount (the top model in the SX series), and an SXG-HAL130 tripod.

This set includes the AX103S optical tube, which features Vixen's original triplet-element SD apochromatic design that minimizes various aberrations, producing exceptionally sharp, distortion-free images.

It offers outstanding optical performance for both visual observation and astrophotography. Paired with the SXP2WL equatorial mount —the flagship of the SX series, featuring high rigidity, responsiveness, and precision tracking that can be easily controlled via a smartphone app—, this combination meets the demands of advanced celestial observation.

Vixen Telescope SXP2WL-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.
