SD103S optical tube assembly.
Vixen's apochromatic refractors are equipped with 'Super Extra-Low Dispersion' (SD) optical glass in the objective lens. This SD glass delivers clear, high-contrast views with virtually no false color. With a fast F7.7 focal ratio, the telescope produces bright images that will satisfy even the most demanding visual astronomers and astrophotographers. The SD103S model comes with a flip mirror diagonal, allowing you to easily switch between straight-through and angled viewing.

SXD2 equatorial mount PFL.
The robust SXD2 mount is equipped with precision pulse motors and solid mechanics, making it ideal for long observing sessions and astrophotography. Astrophotographers will especially appreciate the 'crossover meridian' feature, which allows you to adjust the timing of the optical tube's reversal as it passes the meridian.

STAR BOOK TEN star chart go-to navigation controller.
The SXD2 equatorial mount PFL comes with the STAR BOOK TEN controller, which features an intuitive 'Star-Chart Go-To' system and a high-definition color LCD display. The screen provides detailed information, including the telescope's position, the target, and other useful data. Additionally, the night vision feature allows the entire screen to be illuminated in red, reducing brightness and minimizing eye strain for the observer.
