Complete telescope set with multiple accessories.

The premium A81M refractor from Vixen is manufactured according to the highest quality standards.

Made in Japan, the telescope produces pure-colour and high-contrast images, despite the achromatic lens system.

It is ideal for observing the moon's surface or Saturn's rings.

The lightweight and sturdy AP mount keeps the telescope in place and minimizes vibrations during observations.

The AP mount in detail

The AP mount provides a secure, stable support for your telescope.

There is a wide range of optional accessories. The ADVANCED POLARIS mount is perfect for both beginners and advanced observers who require a lightweight travel mount.

Simply place your telescope on the mount and move it to the desired celestial object without having to loosen any clamps!

The slip clutches allow you to easily adjust the telescope to your target object - no more searching for adjustment clamps in the dark! An optional polar meter is available, which enables you to locate the celestial pole when it is hidden by trees or buildings.

Wide range of accessories for upgrading the mount

• Optional polar finder scope

• Optional power supply

• Optional STAR BOOK ONE control

The STAR BOOK ONE is a multifunctional and intuitive controller that tracks in the RA and DC axis with a range of different speeds. The tracking options are designed for time lapse cameras at a wide range of speeds, including sidereal, lunar and solar rates. The controller also offers many useful functions such as backlash compensation, autoguider port, PEC and a built-in red LED light. The STAR BOOK ONE controller is designed for the AP-SM mount and is an integral part of the RA motor module.
