Product description

Vixen AP 115/890

The newly designed high definition ED lens on Vixen's ED115S gives excellent optical performance with its Extra Low Dispersion (ED) glass. Chromatic aberration is virtually eliminated. The new ED lenses feature brighter images from the shorter f/7.7 focal ratio to capture crisp, pinpoint star images for your enjoyment. The ED115S lenses are made with environmently friendly technologies, free of hazardous lead that helps to support a cleaner global environment.

GPD2 mounting

The GPD2 equatorial mount is the stronger and heftier of the GP mounts. With its 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 Mount is equipped with a polar axis scope with a built in variable intensity illuminator. Add the D2M Motor Set for accurate Tracking.
