The set pairs a high-end AXJWL equatorial mount—offering performance comparable to the flagship AXD2—with a large-aperture VMC260L(WT) catadioptric optical tube.

The set includes a VMC260L (WT) optical tube incorporating Vixen’s original optical design —compact yet offering a large 260 mm aperture—and a high-end AXJWL equatorial mount, whose performance nearly rivals that of the AXD2WL. With its large aperture, excellent light-gathering power, and resolving capability, the VMC260L is ideal for observing faint stars at high magnifications. Perfect for serious mobile astronomy and astrophotography.

Vixen Telescope AXJWL-VMC260L(WT) Description

  • AXJWL Equatorial Mount: High Rigidity and Precision inherited from the AXD, now made more accessible!

    With high rigidity and precision rivaling our flagship AXD2 equatorial mount WL, the AXJWL features a lightweight body that can be mounted on the standard SX series tripod, the SXG-HAL130. It has been updated for even greater ease of use, now equipped with the new "Wireless Unit" for wireless operation, making advanced astronomical observation more accessible than ever.

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

    A "Wireless Unit" is included as standard, enabling you to control your equatorial mount with your smartphone or tablet. By installing the free dedicated smartphone app "STAR BOOK Wireless" on your smartphone, 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.

  • ASG-CB90 Carbon Tripod, Combining Lightweight Design with High Rigidity

    The ASG-CB90 tripod is designed for comfortable use with the AXJWL equatorial mount. As a medium-sized equatorial mount, the AXJ is known for its combination of lightweight and high rigidity. To fully leverage its performance and portability, this tripod was engineered to achieve high rigidity and lightweight.

    The ASG-CB90 builds on the popular APP-TL130 tripod, well-regarded for its lightweight construction. The use of carbon fiber pipes for the legs offers both strength and lightness. Additionally, by refining the tripod head structure, leg extension mechanism, and leg spreader, a highly rigid yet compact tripod has been achieved, which is capable of supporting serious astronomical observation with the AXJ mount.
