SXP2 equatorial mount package in combination with AX103S optical tube asembly and SXHAL130 tripod.
This package combines the AX103S optical tube—known for its excellent visual and photographic performance—with the robust SXP2 equatorial mount, which delivers smooth and precise movement thanks to strategically placed high-quality bearings.
The AX103S optical tube features Vixen’s original 3-element objective lens design, including an SD apochromatic element that minimizes optical aberrations to the greatest extent. The result is exceptionally sharp and clear images with minimal distortion—perfect for both astrophotography and visual observation.
Also included is the SXG-HAL130 tripod, a stable and lightweight option ideal for stargazing trips.

AX103S optical tube assembly
The advanced optical design delivers crystal-clear, sharp, and high-contrast images with no visible false color. Star images remain as small as 20 microns even at the edge of the imaging field. Each lens surface is treated with premium AS coatings, enhancing visible light transmission to 99.5% per surface (400nm–700nm), ensuring exceptionally high overall light transmission.

SXP2 equatorial mount
By adopting pulse motors and a belt drive system, using a generous number of bearings, incorporating the P-PEC function, enabling meridian crossing with reverse motion lock, and many other features, the equatorial mount’s accuracy and performance have been pushed to the highest level.
