StarBook GOTO System

The latest option for the GP2 and GPD2 mounts is the new STARBOOK S which incorporates Vixen's legendary GOTO controller with
BUILT IN STAR CHART that shows you exactly where the telescope is pointing and displays "what's up" right now. 

The included (and upgradeable) software contains a 22,000 object database giving the user an endless variety of objects to view.
Included are drop down menus of different categories of celestial objects, including Stars, Planets, Messier, NGC and other famous
objects. Each sub menu only lists the objects that are available to be viewed at that time. This eliminates the frustration of
other GOTO systems that don't tell you the object is below the horizon until after you have selected it. With the Vixen Starbook
you will spend more time viewing and less time searching.
