Product information "Vixen SPHINX PROFESSIONAL SXP2 equatorial GoTo Mount"
Compared with previous models, the new SXP2 mount features larger bearings in order to increase the accuracy and load capacity. The mounting housing is made from a stronger material than the previous SX mounts. The equatorial head is clamped into a fork in order to increase the stability of the polar alignment wedge.
Precise tracking with P-PEC function
The SXP2 mount comes with the modern STARBOOK TEN control system. This includes a P-PEC function for precise tracking. PEC stands for “Periodic Error Corrections” and corrects errors in the mechanics which lead to periodic errors in the gear systems. The P-PEC function, which is based on the PEC function, is designed for the SXP2 equatorial mount. The P-PEC function saves the records of corrections, even after the power supply to the mount has been switched off. It is not necessary to re-enter the data each time, which enables a quicker setup and more precise tracking.
The belt drive system minimizes backlash and noise
Conventional motor-driven systems on equatorial mounts use gear wheels, which are driven by the motor. However, this design generates backlash under the gear wheels, which can lead to inaccuracies. To avoid these errors, the drive was converted to a belt drive system. This drastically reduces the backlash of the gear unit, as well as the noise generated by the drive system. It also ensures a quicker reaction when corrections are required.
16 bearings
The mechanical parts contain a total of 16 bearings. The SXP2 mount uses a set of tapered roller bearings for the RA axis in order to provide additional stability for more precise tracking.
Stable polar alignment wedge
The SXP2 mount uses the same fork as the heavy AXJ mount. This new construction enables a quick and stable configuration of the latitude setting.
Simple and precise polar alignment via reference star
The 6x20 polar finder scope is pre-installed. This allows the user to configure the polar alignment (for both the northern and southern hemispheres). The polar finder scope has a variable illuminated reticle with an automatic power-off function. The brightness can be adjusted in 8 levels so that the user can configure the desired brightness. The polar finder scope can be configured directly via three reference stars and can reach an accuracy of up to 3 arc minutes.
Variable mount head
The mount head has a diameter of 35 mm and features 8 threaded holes for M8 screws spaced at 45 degrees. An optional accessory tray can be attached to the mount head directly or in combination with an optional mounting wedge for dovetail plates. The threaded holes on the mounting head can also be used to mount rails from other manufacturers.
Modern STAR BOOK TEN controller with high-resolution colour display and built-in star chart
The STAR BOOK TEN controller is a modern control system with a high-resolution colour monitor. The STAR BOOK TEN system contains more than 272,000 celestial objects, including 260,000 stars from the SAO catalogue, 109 Messier objects, 7840 NGC objects and 5380 IC objects, as well the soon, moon and planets. Objects can be accessed by name, and information such as images and data can be defined separately.
A combination of innovative, elegant design and user-friendly features
The improved design of the stable and rigid mount body, which features precise tracking with a P-PEC function and the STAR BOOK TEN controller, offers a highly precise, easy to use mount that is guaranteed to please astrophotographers and observers.
Special motor mount for lighter counterweight
The heavy RA and DEC motor units are built into the bottom of the declination axis to ensure that the centre of gravity of the equatorial head is below the RA and DEC axis. This enables the declination body to function as a counterweight. Thanks to the flat mounting head, the mount can be balanced with a significantly lighter counterweight.
Retractable counterweight bar
The counterweight bar is made from solid stainless steel with a thickness of 20 mm, and enables the use of all counterweights from the SX and GP mount series. The counterweight bar is housed in the declination body.
Accessory shoe
The #35511 polar meter can be placed onto the accessory shoe for quick and easy polar alignment.

Vixen SG-L02 Headlamp red-light white-light
€69.00*
The perfect LED head torch for nighttime observations!
Adjusting your eyes to the dark surroundings is very important when making astronomical observations.
In dark areas, it is very difficult to use astronomical equipment without a suitable light.
With normal lights, however, the light intensity is more important than protecting your eyes against bright light.
Using these lights at night makes your pupils contract, which can make it difficult for your eyes to readjust to the darkness.
The SG-L01, our first astronomy LED lamp, featured a built-in red LED that provided a solution to this problem.
However, the red light did not offer optimal visibility. On our new astronomy LED light, the SG-L02, the LED lights produce warm light to improve visibility.
They also ensure that your eyes stay adapted to the dark.
The LEDs do not emit light in the sensitive range of 555 nm.
The brightness of the white light can be adjusted between 3 and 42 lumen, while the red light can be adjusted between 0.28 and 7.62 lumen.

BRESSER Mobile Solar Charger 21 Watt with USB and DC output
€59.00*
Self-sufficient travel with the BRESSER solar charger
Whether camping, sailing, trekking or swimming at the nearest lake – anyone who enjoys being outdoors for long periods of time does not want to do without their smartphone, tablet, powerbank, etc. But one question quickly arises: where can I find the nearest power socket? After all, every battery runs out and our practical everyday helpers can't manage without electricity. With the ultra-compact BRESSER solar charger, you simply use the power of the sun to charge your devices. The environmentally friendly solar energy is free of charge – and you remain independent of the power grid!
Simply open it up, put it down and immediately produce green solar powerThe handling is very simple: unfold the solar panel and align it as perpendicularly as possible to the sun. Then connect the device to be charged to the solar charger, either with a suitable USB cable (not included) or with the included DC connection cable. The charging process begins immediately.
Which devices can the solar panel charge?
The solar charger gets all devices with a USB power supply connection or the above-mentioned DC power plug connection up and running again in no time – e.g. smartphones, tablets, power banks, portable playstations, MP4 players, GPS devices and Bluetooth headphones. For charging large power stations, we recommend the more powerful BRESSER solar panels with at least 60 watts output power – see art. no. 3810050, 3810060, 3810070.Universal charger with flexible connection optionsOne USB-A connection socket is available for powering your devices. There is also an additional universal connection socket for DC bar plugs with a diameter of 5.5/2.1 mm. A universal connection cable with a 5.5/2.1mm DC bar plug on both sides and a length of 2 metres, as well as 3 plug adapters (3.5/1.35mm, 5.5/2.5mm, 8.0/5.5/0.8mm) are included in the scope of delivery. The polarity of the connectors is as follows: Inner contact = positive (+), outer contact = negative (-).
How long does it take to charge a battery?Most modern devices with built-in batteries indicate the current charging status of the battery on a display or status LEDs. The charging process is also automatically terminated by the internal charger of the smartphone or tablet, etc., as soon as the battery is full.Nevertheless, it is helpful to know how long a full charge theoretically takes with an empty battery. This is the only way to choose the right solar panel model for the requirements of the devices you want to charge.Here is a short calculation: Divide the capacity of the battery (mAh) by the charging current of the charger (mA) and multiply this by a factor of 75. This then gives you the approximate charging time in minutes that is required to fully charge the battery at 100% sunshine duration.Example: A battery with a capacity of 3000mAh (3.0 Ah) and a charging current via 5 volt USB connection of 2400mA (2.4 amps). So 3000 : 2400 x 75 = 94 minutes. Dividing the result by 60 gives the charging time in hours: 1.6 hours.This means that an average smartphone can be fully charged in just about 1.6 hours with a 21-watt solar panel.
Carabiner hook for attachment included
In order to attach the solar panel securely to an object and align it perfectly with the sun, 4 sturdy snap hooks are included in the scope of delivery. Simply connect them to the riveted ring eyelets of the solar panel and use them to hang the solar charger stably, e.g. on a tent loop, a fence or other suitable holding points. If you attach it to your backpack, you can even use the time during a hike for charging.
Innovative solar cell technology with high efficiency Monocrystalline silicium cells ensure high efficiency and the fastest possible charging of the device batteries. This means maximum electricity yield per solar surface. As a result, you benefit from relatively high charging currents and short charging times with a compact design.Easy transportThanks to the modern and flat design, you can easily fold the individual segments of the solar panel into a small bag and stow it in your luggage while saving space. Always ready for the next spontaneous use.Robust, dust- and water-repellent materials The durable Cordura fabric is extremely tear-resistant but still flexible. It protects the valuable solar panel from damage and provides the necessary stability during use. The solar panel is dust- and water-repellent, it withstands most weather conditions and is your ideal companion for almost all outdoor activities. Nevertheless, the solar panel should not be exposed to direct rain or extreme humidity.IMPORTANT NOTESThe solar panel does not have an integrated charger or charge controller. Therefore, it is not suitable for directly charging loose battery cells or lead batteries. It is only suitable for smartphones, tablets and power banks, for example, because they always have built-in internal chargers.The solar panel does not have its own battery, but serves exclusively as a power source in sunshine for charging electronic devices.When connecting the devices to be charged via the DC bar plug, always ensure the required voltage and correct polarity. Otherwise, damage may occur to the electronics of the solar panel and the devices to be charged.Do not leave the solar panel outdoors at night with high humidity or in the rain. This could damage the internal electronics.

Vixen SXD2WL Equatorial GoTo Mount with Wifi
€2,799.00*
Vixen has developed a new generation of SX mounts for demanding observers and astrophotographers. The SXD2WL mount is simply operated via a Wifi module with a smartphone or tablet.
By controlling the mount with your smartphone using the free STAR BOOK Wireless app, you can easily use sky navigation functions such as automatic GoTo panning of celestial objects via your smartphone or tablet.
By eliminating the power consumption of the conventional LCD (STAR BOOK TEN), the power consumption on the mount is reduced by up to 20%, thus enabling longer astronomical observation and astrophotography. When the desired celestial object is selected from a list, it is automatically panned into the telescope's field of view and tracking begins. An existing STAR BOOK TEN controller can also be used on this mount without any problems.
Equipped with the same precision stepper motors as the top model, the AXD mount, the SXD2WL brings a new standard of performance and precision to the Vixen mount family. With a photographic load capacity of 15 kg, the axis cross of the mount weighs just 9.2 kg making it ideal for mobile observations. In addition, the motors mounted in the lower part of the mount also serve as a counterweight, so the mount requires fewer weights for balancing. The SXD2 mount in detail Precision stepper motors and micro-step motion control system At the heart of the SXD2 are the precision stepper motors, which offer better performance and response than previous models. The micro-step motion control system offers powerful and yet very smooth drive characteristics, which are given both in fine movements and in fast pans.
Built-in bearings
The bearings of the RA and DEC axes and the worm shafts have been significantly improved to reduce the load on the motors. As a result, the motors move much more smoothly than in previous models. High-precision worm gears
High-precision processing technologies eliminate worm gear errors. The edges of the two worms and worm wheels are particularly smooth, enabling very precise tracking.
Declination axis as counterweight
The solid motor units are installed in the lower part of the declination axis so that the center of gravity of the SXD2 is below the intersection point of the RA and DEC axes. This means you need fewer additional counterweights. Latitude setting
The latitude is adjustable between 0 and 70 degrees (divided into 3 zones and adjustable +/- 15 degrees per zone, for high, medium and low latitudes); latitude scale in 2-degree increments; fine adjustment with a tangent screw head, approx. 0.8 degrees per turn. Built-in PFL-II polar finder with illumination The built-in 5x20mm polar finder with 10° field of view has a 3-star alignment system.
This eliminates the inconvenience of setting the date and original time.
The illuminated reticle with variable brightness and automatic switch-off is adjustable in 8 levels and illuminated in red. The adjustment accuracy is 3 arc minutes. The wireless module in detail The Vixen Wifi adapter for EQ mounts allows you to control your Vixen mount via a smartphone or tablet.

BRESSER StarTracker Astronomical Photo Mount PM-100
€349.00*
Do you already own a photo camera and would like to create impressive pictures of the night sky with the help of the long exposure or even make time-lapse pictures with little effort ? The BRESSER StarTracker Astronomical PhotoMount PM-100 is the ideal base. Not only for beginners in astrophotography, this mount is particularly well suited, but also the experts swear by a compact and easy-to-use mount to automatically compensate for the natural rotation of the earth. The built-in tracking motor rotates the saddle-mounted camera precisely against the earth's rotation and thus the stars remain in pinpoint shape even with long exposures. If you already own a sturdy photo tripod with a video tilt head you can use the photo mount's head directly with the 1/4 inch & 3/8 inch photo thread holes. The pole height (latitude) is then adjusted by the video tilt head. The photo-mount with tripod with carry-case and polar wedge are also available as a bundle - Product No.: 4964120 Which cameras are basically suitable for use with the BRESSER photo mount ?
All cameras with ¼ inch (6.3mm) tripod connection thread and bulb length" B "for long exposure are suitable.
The BRESSER StarTracker Astronomical Photo Mount PM-100 is designed for a camera with lens of max. 2.0 kg total weight to carry and track in polar mode. In Azimut mode also a camera weight up to 5.0kg is possible. Large aperture, wide-angle lenses are ideal for the beginning, because the requirements for tracking accuracy accumulate with increasing focal length and exposure time. Thus, a shot with wide-angle lens can be exposed for up to several minutes and the stars remain punctiform without problems. For example, with a 200mm telephoto lens the polar alignment of the photo mount must be exactly right. But thanks to the integrated pole finder tunnel, this is done quickly.
After setting up the light and compact StarTracker Photo Mount, simply set the approximate latitude (pole height) and aim Polaris through the integrated pole finder tunnel. Then mount the camera with the photo lens using the quick-release plate on the supplied ball head. With the ball head, the camera can be aligned and determined at any time on any section of the sky. As soon as the tracking motor is switched on, long-time exposure can be started immediately. This does not even take 5 minutes ... The tracking is carried out by a precise stepper motor, which can be controlled by an easy digital setup on LCD screen. Low power consumption allows up to 20 hours of operation with just one battery charge or simply use the micro USB port for an unlimited power supply.

EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC Twilight I telescope mount with tripod
€299.00*
The Twilight I is a light-to-medium-duty alt-azimuth mount and tripod designed to quickly and easily accept small to medium sized refractors, such as the AR102 + AR127s or ED102mm + ED127, and of course, the ED80mm. Lightweight, fast Newtonians will also match up nicely with the Explore Scientific Twilight I mount. As long as your telescope does not exceed 18 pounds and has a Vixen-Style Universal Dovetail bar for mounting the telescope to the mount head, you are good to go. The Twilight I alt-azimuth mount head is made of powder-coated aluminum and there are worm gears on both axes. The adjustable angle head can be tilted forward or back at a 45° angle to allow more clearance for your telescope so you can point it straight up for viewing at the zenith. The Allen hex wrench for doing the mount head adjustment can be safely stored at the integrated magnetic holder. Slow-motion control cables are attached on the vertical and horizontal axes, and are easy to turn during the night, even with gloves on, due to the over-sized knurled knobs that are attached to the end of each cable. They can be attached to either side of each axis to accommodate right or left-handed users, or different types of telescopes (e.g. refractors vs. Newtonian reflectors) for ease of adjustment. The stainless steel tripod that comes standard with the Twilight I mount has adjustable legs and a wide foot print of 42 inches, which makes the tripod more stable. A spreader bar locks against the inside of the legs to secure the tripod even further, and keep vibrations to a minimum. SCOPE OF DELIVERTwilight I Telescope MountStainless Steel Field tripod
BRESSER Mobile Solar Charger 120 Watt with USB and DC output
€249.00*
Self-sufficient travel with the BRESSER solar charger
Whether camping, sailing, trekking or swimming at the nearest lake – anyone who enjoys being outdoors for long periods of time does not want to do without their smartphone, tablet, powerbank, etc. But one question quickly arises: where can I find the nearest power socket? After all, every battery runs out and our practical everyday helpers can't manage without electricity. With the ultra-compact BRESSER solar charger, you simply use the power of the sun to charge your devices. The environmentally friendly solar energy is free of charge – and you remain independent of the power grid!
Simply open it up, put it down and immediately produce green solar powerThe handling is very simple: unfold the solar panel and align it as perpendicularly as possible to the sun. Then connect the device to be charged to the solar charger, either with a suitable USB cable (not included) or with the included DC connection cable. The charging process begins immediately.
Which devices can the solar panel charge?
The solar charger gets all devices with a USB power supply connection or the above-mentioned DC power plug connection up and running again in no time – e.g. smartphones, tablets, power banks, portable playstations, MP4 players, GPS devices and Bluetooth headphones. It is also suitable for charging large power stations such as the BRESSER Power Station 100 Watt (art. no.3810000) and the BRESSER Power Station 500 Watt (art. no. 3810020) as well as power stations from other manufacturers with suitable connection values.Universal charger with flexible connection optionsThere is one USB-C connection socket and another orange USB-A connection socket with QC3.0 standard for powering your devices and also for fast charging of newer generations of devices. An additional universal connection cable with a hollow DC plug 5.5/2.1
mm in diameter and 2.5 metres long, as well as 3 plug adapters (3.5/1.35
mm, 5.5/2.5 mm, 8.0/5.5/0.8 mm) are included in the scope of delivery.
The polarity of the connectors is as follows:
Inner contact = positive (+), outer contact = negative (-).
How long does it take to charge a battery?Most modern devices
with built-in batteries indicate the current charging status of the
battery on a display or status LEDs. The charging process is also
automatically terminated by the internal charger of the smartphone or
tablet, etc., as soon as the battery is full.Nevertheless, it is helpful to know how long a full charge theoretically takes with an empty battery. This is the only way to choose the right solar panel model for the requirements of the devices you want to charge.Here is a short calculation: Divide the
capacity of the battery (mAh) by the charging current of the charger
(mA) and multiply this by a factor of 75. This then gives you the
approximate charging time in minutes that is required to fully charge the battery at 100% sunshine
duration.Example 1: A battery with a
capacity of 3000mAh (3.0 Ah) and a charging current via 5 volt USB
connection of 3400mA (3.4 amps). So 3000 : 3400 x 75 = 66 minutes.
Dividing the result by 60
gives the charging time in hours: 1.1 hours.This means that an average smartphone can be fully charged in just about 1.1 hours with a 120-watt solar panel. Example 2:
A large power station battery with a
capacity of 13000mAh (13.0 Ah) and a charging current via 18 volts DC
plug connection of 6600mA (6.6 amps). So 13000 : 6600 x 75 = 148
minutes.
Dividing the result by 60
gives the charging time in hours: 2.5 hours.This means that an average smartphone can be fully charged in just about 2.5 hours with a 120-watt solar panel. Carabiner hook for attachment included
In order to attach the solar panel securely to an object and align it perfectly with the sun, 4 sturdy snap hooks are included in the scope of delivery. Simply connect them to the riveted ring eyelets of the solar panel and use them to hang the solar charger stably, e.g. on a tent loop, a fence or other suitable holding points.Innovative solar cell technology with high efficiency Monocrystalline
silicium cells ensure high efficiency and the fastest possible charging
of the device batteries. This means maximum electricity yield per solar
surface. As a result, you benefit from relatively high charging currents and short charging times with a compact design.Easy transportThanks to the modern and flat design, you can easily fold the individual segments of the solar panel into a small bag and stow it in your luggage while saving space. Always ready for the next spontaneous use.Robust, dust- and water-repellent materials The durable Cordura fabric is extremely tear-resistant but still flexible. It protects the valuable solar panel from damage and provides the necessary stability during use. The solar panel is dust- and water-repellent, it withstands most weather conditions and is your ideal companion for almost all outdoor activities. Nevertheless, the solar panel should not be exposed to direct rain or extreme humidity.IMPORTANT NOTESThe
solar panel does not have an integrated charger or charge controller.
Therefore, it is not suitable for directly charging loose battery cells
or lead batteries. It is only suitable for smartphones, tablets and
power banks, for example, because they always have built-in internal
chargers.The solar panel does not have its own battery, but
serves exclusively as a power source in sunshine for charging electronic
devices.When connecting the devices to be charged via the DC
bar plug, always ensure the required voltage and correct polarity.
Otherwise, damage may occur to the electronics of the solar panel and
the devices to be charged.Do not leave the solar panel outdoors at night with high humidity or in the rain. This could damage the internal electronics.

Vixen AXJ GoTo Mount with Star Book Ten Controller
€5,990.00*
€7,499.00*
(20.12% saved)
Designed as a complement to the AXD2 equatorial mount, the AXJ mount offers outstanding durability and precision.
The AXJ mount can also be used on AXD-TR102 tripods with an adapter.
Periodic errors on mounts are usually measured and corrected by the user. Unlike the old StarBook controller, the STAR BOOK TEN controller saves these errors permanently. The periodic error of the mount is measured in the factory (total of 12 points per 30 degrees worm gear) and corrected before delivery. This is known as V-PEC and functions automatically as soon as you use the mount. It delivers an accuracy of +/- 4.0 arc seconds. You can increase the tracking accuracy further by saving your own recorded periodic errors.
Vixen uses a new Belt-drive system in the AXJ mount. The gear drive was replaced with a toothed belt drive.
This gives the mount a quicker reaction time and lower backlash. It also helps to minimize noise. The 6x20 polar finder scope is pre-installed.
This allows the user to configure the polar alignment (for both the northern and southern hemispheres).
The polar finder scope has a variable illuminated reticle with an automatic power-off function. The brightness can be adjusted in 8 levels so that the user can configure the desired brightness.
SETTING ACCURACY OF LESS THAN 3 ARC MINUTES
The dark field illumination (red LED) turns on when the push button is pressed. The reticle also lights up in red so that the observer can recognize and align stars in the background of the reticle. The light turns off automatically after a few minutes to save battery power.
2 bearing sets (4 pieces) are used for the shaft of the RA axis. Thanks to the newly developed EQ design, the ZXJ mount has a higher load capacity of 22 kg.
As the motors, worm shaft and worm gear are located in the lower part of the mount, fewer counterweights are required than with conventional mounts.
The STAR BOOK TEN controller is a modern control system with a high-resolution colour monitor.
The STAR BOOK TEN system contains more than 272,000 celestial objects, including 260,000 stars from the SAO catalogue, 109 Messier objects, 7840 NGC objects and 5380 IC objects, as well the soon, moon and planets. Objects can be accessed by name, and information such as images and data can be defined separately.

€2,400.00*
HINWEIS: Es handelt sich bei diesem Artikel um Gebrauchtware bzw. Rückläufer. Das bedeutet: Der Artikel kann leichte Gebrauchsspuren aufweisen und die Verpackung kann von der Originalverpackung abweichen. Bitte beachten Sie, dass für Refurbished Artikel generell 12 Monate Garantie gelten.Bei der SXP2 Montierung wurden größere Kugellager verbaut als bei den Vorgänger-Modellen, um die Genauigkeit und die Tragkraft zu erhöhen. Zudem zeichnet sich das Montierungsgehäuse durch eine höhere Materialstärke aus. Und um den Polblock noch stabiler zu machen, wird das Achsenkreuz fest in eine Gabel eingeklemmt.
Die SXP2 Montierung im Detail
Stärkeres MontierungsgehäuseBei der SXP2 Montierung wurden größere Kugellager verbaut als bei den Vorgänger-Modellen, um die Genauigkeit und Tragkraft zu erhöhen. Zudem zeichnet sich das Montierungsgehäuse durch eine höhere Materialstärke aus. Und um den Polblock noch stabiler zu machen, wird das Achsenkreuz fest in eine Gabel eingeklemmt.
Sehr genaues Nachführen mit P-PEC-FunktionDie SXP2 Montierung wird mit der modernen STAR BOOK TEN Steuerung ausgeliefert. Sie bietet Ihnen die P-PEC-Funktion für eine besonders präzise Nachführung. Die Bezeichnung ''PEC'' steht dabei für ''Periodic Error Correction''. Das System korrigiert die Fehler in der Mechanik, durch die periodische Fehler in den Zahnradsystemen erzeugt werden. Für die SXP2 Äquatorialmontierung wird eine P-PEC-Funktion bereitgestellt, die aus der PEC-Funktion hervorgegangen ist. Die P-PEC-Funktion speichert die Aufzeichnungen Ihrer Korrekturen, auch nachdem die Stromversorgung der Montierung abgeschaltet wurde. Dadurch müssen Sie die Daten nicht jedes Mal neu eingeben und profitieren von der schnelleren Bedienung und genaueren Nachführung.
Geräuscharmes Riemenantriebssystem mit minimalem Spiel
In herkömmlichen Motorantriebssystemen äquatorialer Montierungen sind Zahnräder verbaut, die vom Motor angetrieben werden. Diese Bauart hat jedoch den Nachteil, dass ein gewisses Spiel unter den Zahnrädern entsteht. Um die daraus entstehenden Ungenauigkeiten zu vermeiden, befindet sich in der SXP2 Montierung ein Riemenantriebssystem. Dadurch werden sowohl das Spiel im Getriebe als auch die Antriebsgeräusche stark reduziert. Darüber hinaus reagiert das Gerät schneller, wenn Korrekturen vorzunehmen sind.
16 LagerIn den mechanischen Teilen der SXP2 Montierung befinden sich insgesamt 16 Lagerungen. Dabei wird für die RA-Achse ein Satz Kegelrollenlager genutzt, um mehr Stabilität für eine präzisere Nachführung zu erreichen.
Stabiler Polhöhenblock zur AusrichtungDie SXP2 Montierung verwendet die gleiche Gabel wie die schwerere AXJ Montierung. Diese neue Konstruktion ermöglicht eine schnelle und stabile Breitengrad-Einstellung.
Einfache und genaue Polausrichtung über ReferenzsterneDer 6x20-Polsucher ist bereits vorinstalliert. Damit können Sie die Polausrichtung (sowohl für die nördliche als auch für die südliche Hemisphäre) einstellen. Dafür bietet der Polsucher ein variables Leuchtabsehen mit automatischer Abschaltfunktion. Die Helligkeit ist in 8 Stufen einstellbar, sodass Sie sie an Ihre individuellen Bedürfnisse anpassen können. Zudem ist der Polsucher mit einer Direkteinstellung über drei Referenzsterne ausgestattet und kann eine Genauigkeit von bis zu 3 Bogenminuten erreichen.
Variabler MontierungskopfDer Montagekopf hat einen Durchmesser von 35 mm und acht Gewindelöcher für M8-Schrauben, die im Abstand von 45 Grad angeordnet sind. Eine optionale Zubehörplatte kann direkt oder in Kombination mit einem optionalen Montageblock für Schwalbenschwanzplatten angebracht werden. Zudem ermöglichen die Gewindebohrungen am Montagekopf die Verwendung von Aufnahmeschienen anderer Hersteller.
ACHTUNG: Für die Montage von Vixen Standard Schwalbenschwanzschienen ist zusätzlich der Adapter X000266 erforderlich.
Moderne STAR BOOK TEN Steuerung mit hochauflösendem Farbdisplay und eingebauter Sternkarte STAR BOOK TEN ist eine moderne Steuerung mit hochauflösendem Farbmonitor. In dem Gerät sind mehr als 272.000 Himmelsobjekte gespeichert, darunter etwa 260.000 Sterne aus dem SAO-Katalog, 109 Messier-Objekte, 7.840 NGC-Objekte und 5.380 IC-Objekte sowie Sonne, Mond und Planeten. Objekte können mit dem gebräuchlichen Namen aufgerufen und Informationen wie eigene Aufnahmen und Daten separat angepasst werden.
Kombination aus innovativem, eleganten Design und benutzerfreundlicher Bedienung Der stabile, steife Montierungskörper mit sehr genauer Nachführung wurde durch die P-PEC-Funktion und die STAR BOOK TEN Steuerung weiter optimiert. Damit ist die SXP2 eine hochpräzise und einfach zu bedienende Montierung, die das Herz eines jeden Astrofotografen und Beobachter höher schlagen lässt.
Spezielle Motoranbringung für weniger GegengewichteDie schweren RA- und DEC-Motoreinheiten sind im unteren Teil der Deklination eingebaut, sodass sich der Schwerpunkt des Achsenkreuzes unter der RA- und DEC-Achse befindet. Dadurch wirkt der Deklinationskörper als Gegengewicht. Durch den flachen Montagekopf kann die Montierung zudem mit erheblich weniger Gegengewicht ausbalanciert werden.
Einfahrbare GegengewichtsstangeDie Gegengewichtsstange besteht aus massivem Edelstahl und hat einen Durchmesser von 20 mm. Sie können damit alle Gegengewichte der SX und GP Montierungsbaureihen verwenden. Die Gegengewichtsstange ist im Deklinationskörper untergebracht.
Zubehörschuh
Für die einfache und schnelle Polausrichtung kann der #35511 Polar Meter auf diesen Schuh aufgeschoben werden.
Breitengradeinstellung Der Breitengrad ist zwischen 0 und 70 Grad einstellbar (unterteilt in 3 Zonen und einstellbar +/- 15 Grad pro Zone, für hohe, mittlere und niedrige Breiten).
Die STAR BOOK TEN Steuerung im Detail
Großer LCD-FarbmonitorDer LCD-Monitor des STAR BOOK TEN bietet ein 5''-TFT-LC-Farbdisplay mit hoher WVGA-Auflösung (800x480 Pixel, 65.535 Farben).
Mondkarten-FunktionDie neueste Version der STAR BOOK TEN Firmware enthält eine Mondkarten-Funktion. Damit schauen Sie sich ganz einfach eine Karte des sichtbaren Teils des Mondes auf dem Bildschirm an. Alle wichtigen Sehenswürdigkeiten auf der Mondoberfläche sind optisch hervorgehoben und für die GoTo-Funktion auswählbar.
Nachtmodus mit roter BeleuchtungBei astronomischen Beobachtungen in der Nacht passen sich die Augen an die Dunkelheit an. Helles, weißes Licht reduziert diese Dunkeladaption der Augen, sodass der Beobachter weniger vom Nachthimmel sieht. Darum kann das Display des STAR BOOK TEN auf rote Hintergrundbeleuchtung umgestellt werden. Denn rotes Licht beeinträchtigt die Dunkeladaption weniger als weißes.
Beleuchtete Tasten
Alle Befehls- und Richtungstasten sind rot beleuchtet, damit Sie auch im Dunkeln den Überblick behalten. Bei Bedarf lässt sich die Beleuchtung der Tasten ausschalten.
Schnelle CPUSTAR BOOK TEN bietet eine CPU mit 324-MHz-Taktfrequenz, die etwa 5-mal so schnell ist wie die CPU des alten STAR BOOK. Dadurch wird die Sternkarte schneller geladen und der Bildschirm wirkt lebendiger.
Benutzerfreundliches MenüBeim STAR BOOK TEN können Sie Himmelskörper sowohl im Scope- als auch im Chart-Modus aufrufen. Darüber hinaus wählen Sie Ihre Objekte durch scrollen der Sternkarte im Chart-Modus.Häufig verwendete Menüs können Sie an jeder der zehn Tasten wiederfinden. So rufen Sie die wichtigsten Funktionen schnell und einfach direkt per Knopfdruck auf.
Objekt-DatenbankDas STAR BOOK TEN enthält mehr als 272.000 Himmelsobjekte, darunter 258.977 Sterne aus dem SAO-Sterne-Katalog, 109 Messier-Objekte, 7.840 NGC-Objekte und 5.386 IC-Objekte, die Sonne, den Mond und die Planeten unseres Sonnensystems. Rufen Sie die Objekte einfach anhand ihrer gebräuchlichen Namen auf.
P-PEC-FunktionSie können eine periodische Fehlerkorrektur vornehmen, um die Nachführgenauigkeit der Montierung zu verbessern. Diese Einstellung wird gespeichert und steht so bei der nächsten Verwendung des Geräts wieder zur Verfügung.
Auf der Jagd nach SatellitenDie Bahnelemente eines Satelliten können Sie direkt über die LAN-Verbindung eines PCs in das STAR BOOK TEN eingeben. So lassen sich bis zu 10 Satelliten in Ihrem Gerät speichern.
Kometen-JagdDie Bahnelemente eines Kometen können Sie direkt über die LAN-Verbindung eines PCs in das STAR BOOK TEN eingeben. Auf diese Weise lassen sich bis zu 10 Kometen in Ihrem Gerät speichern.
Benutzerdefinierte ObjekteNeben den bereits angelegten über 272.000 Objekten können Sie weitere interessante Himmelsobjekte, die Sie beobachten oder fotografieren möchten, auf Ihrer STAR BOOK TEN abspeichern. Dafür geben Sie die Positionsdaten von bis zu 10 Objekten direkt auf der STAR BOOK TEN oder über die LAN-Verbindung eines PCs ein.
Verschiedene NachführgeschwindigkeitenPassen Sie die Geschwindigkeit an das Objekt an, das Sie beobachten möchten. So können die Bewegungen von Sonne, Mond, Planeten oder Kometen unterschiedlich schnell nachgeführt werden.
Erweiterter Alignment-AlgorithmusUm die Montierung genau auszurichten, fahren Sie einfach 2 Sterne mit einem Abstand von mindestens 10 Grad nacheinander an und speichern ihre Positionen. Insgesamt können Sie die Daten von bis zu 20 Sternen auf der STAR BOOK TEN Steuerung eingeben. Je mehr Sterne Sie abspeichern, desto genauer gelingt die Positionierung der Montierung. Bei mehr als 20 Sternen werden bereits vorhandene Positionsdaten wieder gelöscht.
Der SpeicherDie STAR BOOK TEN Steuerung ist mit einem großen Backup-Speicher ausgestattet, auf dem Ihre Informationen gesichert werden. Dadurch können Sie das Gerät ausschalten, um die Batterien zu schonen. Und wenn die Montierung ihre Arbeit wieder aufnimmt, stehen Ihre Daten wieder zur Verfügung.
Atmosphärische RefraktionDiese Option ermöglicht es Ihnen, die atmosphärische Refraktion auf die Himmelsobjekte in der Nähe des Horizonts zu kompensieren oder zu vermindern.
Cross Over MeridianDie Montierung bietet eine Sicherheitsfunktion, die den optischen Tubus in die entgegengesetzte Richtung dreht, wenn das Beobachtungsobjekt zu seiner höchsten Stellung kommt. So kann die Optik nicht an der Montierung anschlagen. Sie können diese Funktion jedoch frei wählen oder abschalten, wenn Sie mit Ihrer Ausrüstung fotografieren möchten.
