apertures of 90mm, 102mm and 127mm, and are available complete with
equatorial mounts and tripods. Whether your requirement is for
terrestrial or astronomical use, these compact scopes are the perfect
companion. Tube material: Aluminium. |

The Vixen SXW or “Sphinx” mount and Star Book hand
controller are the latest advance in go-to telescope technology from one
of the pioneers in computerized telescopes (Vixen’s first Sky Sensor go-to
computer drive was introduced in 1984!) Instead of the limited two-line
text display used in other go-to scopes hand controls, the unique Star
Book hand control has a large full-color liquid crystal star chart, with
an easy to read control function display. The control function display is
integrated with a uniquely intuitive and simple ten-button control system.
Its ease of use makes the 20-button hand controls used on other scopes –
with their cryptic abbreviations and involved menus to memorize – look
downright old-fashioned. The Star Book hand controller makes Sphinx go-to
astronomy amazingly easy to master for observers of almost any age and
experience level. The Sphinx mount was recognized by Sky & Telescope
magazine as a “Hot Product of 2004.” ON SALE
