About this item

The Vixen ED 115S lens focuses the full spectrum of visible light to a critical point much more accurately than past ED products. The ED115S lenses are almost free of chromatic aberration in all colors and are critically sharp edge to edge. The astro-photographer will be especially pleased with the high contrast images through this telescope.

The ED115S comes complete with 7 x 50mm finder, finder bracket, 2" eyepiece adapter and dual T-thread flip-mirror with dual 1-1/4" eyepiece adapters, 125mm tube rings, carry handle, dovetail tube plate and metal carry case. The package includes 2 eyepieces. 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. Add the new Vixen Starbook S with built in starchart for complete Go-To capabilities. 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. Optional single axis or dual axis motors and controllers are available as is a polar alignment telescope and setting circles.
