MONTURE ÉQUATORIALE SPHINX SANS TRÉPIED / SPHINX EQUATORIAL MOUNT WITHOUT TRIPOD
The Vixen SX or SPHINX mount and STAR BOOK hand controller are groundbreaking advancements in high speed, portable GOTO mount technology. The SPHINX is a solid, well built mount that has the look and feel of Vixen quality.
Beginners and seasoned hobbyists will benefit from the portability of the mount, the easy to use controller, the ability to download future upgrades directly to the controller and the versatility of placing a variety of optical tubes on this equatorial mount.
The innovative STAR BOOK hand controller offers astronomical navigation with a large full-color LCD screen! The color screen is a detailed star chart that acts as a navigational and GOTO guide for the mount.
Zoom-In/Out buttons for the color star chart display also control the motor speed. As you zoom in closer to an object on the display screen, the motor speed automatically becomes finer and as you zoom out the motor speed increases to cover larger distances.
Features and menu options are displayed on the large color screen and are easily navigated with simple buttons on the controller. The STAR BOOK is amazingly easy to use and makes the SPHINX available to a wide range of ages and experience levels.
The SPHINX mount comes with the STAR BOOK controller and the retractable counterweight shaft and a 1.9kg (4.2 lb) counter weight. This allows you to use and balance a wide range of optical tubes. When using the mount with heavier optical tubes, additional counterweights are available. | VIX2502
