While the outsides might look similar to the standard Sphinx Mount, the changes that have happened are huge! Incorporating one piece hardened steel RA and DEC shafts with needle bearings throughout, the new Sphinx D can handle a load capacity up to 50 lbs.

Sphinx D comes complete with PEC, backlash compensation, and the incredibly accurate SX Polar Finder Scope.The innovative STAR BOOK hand controller offers astronomical navigation with a large full-color LCD screen! The color screen is a detailed star chart that acts as a navigational and GOTO guide for the mount.

The telescope's large aperture and compact body make it ideally suited for astrophotography of nebulae, star clusters and comets. The use of the optional coma corrector allows for a sharp coma-free image from edge to edge, and the rack and pinion focuser, with an adapter, accepts 2 eyepieces.

Like the popular Schmidt-Cassegrain, the Vixen 10.24" VMC260L is a true all purpose telescope. Despite its long focal length, the tube is only about 50cm (20”) long. As a result the instrument is very portable. With its large aperture of 260mm the Vixen VMC200L collects enough light for serious visual and photographical applications of both the planets and the deep sky.

This AXD Compatible Vixen VMC260L optical tube is excellent for both visual and imaging use. With a meniscus corrector and high quality optics, coma effects are reduced to a great degree.

The VMC200L’s primary mirror is f/2.5; the compound optical system is f/9.75. This makes the system much more compact and portable than its competition. With the optical correction placed before the secondary mirror, the VMC200L avoids the necessity of having a corrector plate and all the dewing problems associated with a closed optical tube. The design of the GPD2 mount accomodates the atachment of heavier optical tubes and provides accurate tracking of objects. Bubble-level, fine adjustment knobs for altitude/azimuth , and two counterweights (3.7kg & 1.9kg) are standard.

The VC200L is designed for Astro Imaging.   Even at the edge of the 35mm film format (larger CCD chips) stars are sharp ( smaller than 15 micrometers) This is smaller than the resolution of fine quality CCD cameras, which means that the telescope does not limit the image quality.

The design of the GPD2 mount accomodates the atachment of heavier optical tubes and provides accurate tracking of objects. Add the new Vixen Starbook  package for complete Go-To capabilities.

The astro-photographer will be especially pleased with the high contrast images through this telescope and the full objective diameter of 4". The ED115S comes complete with 125mm tube rings and Vixen's New Dual Speed Focuser. Covered by a 5 Year Warranty. Manufactured in Japan.

The newly designed high definition ED lens in Vixen's ED103S Refractor gives excellent optical performance in a short optical tube for easy handling. The new ED lenses feature brighter images from the shorter f/7.7 focal ratio and capture crisp, pinpoint star images for your eye’s enjoyment.

The built in Dual Speed Focuser enables coarse and fine focus adjustments. Sky at Night Magazine states: "With its excellent build quality and rich feature set, we thoroughly recommend this system if you’re looking to upgrade from your current setup".

The ED 100Sf is now available with Vixen's Dual Speed Focuser. Vixen's apochromatic refractor has an extra-low dispersion (ED) lens which depresses residual aberration to ahcieve a high level of performance. Coupled with a medium f/9
