It includes a telescope, a mount with automatic tracking and a sturdy tripod.
Featuring the STARBOOK TEN control system, the telescope locates celestial objects automatically so that you don't need to search for them manually.
Even if you're not an expert, you can still give your friends an exciting tour through the night sky!
- Robust construction and lightweight housing with 30 kg load capacity (photographic)
- 21 bearings
- Stepper motors
- Worm gears
- Low backlash
- Elegant design
The AXD is the flagship model in the Vixen mount range.
- Original motor layout
- Polar finder scope
For observations in southern latitudes, the polar finder features an image of the Octans constellation, which can be aligned with the night sky.
- VPEC periodic error correction
It delivers an accuracy of +/- 2.8 arc seconds. You can increase the tracking accuracy further by saving your own recorded periodic errors.
Featuring a large 260 mm aperture, the telescope collects large amounts of light for serious professional observations and photography of the planets and countless deep-sky objects.
Thanks to the dielectric mirrors, the VMV260L guarantees razor-sharp images and maximum brightness. The open lens barrels cool the telescope quicker than conventional closed Cassegrain systems.
The telescope can be used with an optional 0.62x focal reducer to reduce the aperture ratio to 1:7.1. This shortens the exposure times and allows you to photograph large objects. The telescope comes with a standard dovetail bar and a carry handle that doubles up as a camera holder for night sky photography.
