Vixen - ED80Sf 80mm ED Apochromatic Refractor Telescope Package

with GPD2 Mount

The ED 80SF was initially listed as an entry level APO, but now with so many astronomers giving us
such glowing reviews, it appears that we will need to reclassify this product!

The ED80Sf refractor features high-grade glass and quality components. Coupled with a medium
f/7.5 focal ratio, the ED "S" series provide a sharp, color-free image of high contrast. At only
22.4", this is our ultimate grab-n-go APO travel scope.

GPD2 Mounts



The GPD2 equatorial mount is the stronger and heftier of the GP mounts. With
it’s solid steel R. A. and Declination axes and brass worm gears this mount
will hold up to years of heavy use. In order to assure accurate tracking for
astrophotography the worm, gears are especially machined to a very high
precision that minimizes periodic error.

The GPD2 holds almost 50% more weight than the GP2 and comes standard with
tripod and counterweight. It is easy to use and functions well for both the
visual observer and astrophotography. Motion is controlled by included
control knobs for accurate slewing. The polar altitude adjustment varies from
0° to 62° in altitude.
