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.

Vixen Sphinx Deluxe mounting

While the outsides might look similar to the standard Sphinx Mount, the changes that have happened under the hood 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. The Sphinx D comes complete with PEC, backlash compensation, and the incredibly accurate SX Polar Finder Scope.

Astronomers with larger optical tubes and all level of astrophotographers are sure to feel right at home with the intuitive controls that so many have become accustomed to with the standard Sphinx Mount. Its 4.7" Color LCD Display gives an exact position against its scrolling star chart, any object is a point and look away!
