The Vixen SX2WL‑A80Mf (ES25012) is a complete beginner‑friendly telescope kit that combines a compact yet capable 80 mm achromatic refractor tube (A80Mf), a modern equatorial mount with wireless control (SX2WL), and a robust aluminum tripod (SXG‑HAL130). This all‑in‑one package offers a balanced mix of portability, ease of use, and solid performance — ideal for exploring the Moon, planets, binaries, and brighter deep‑sky objects.

With the SX2WL mount’s wireless unit, you can control your telescope from a smartphone or tablet using the STAR BOOK Wireless app — no cables or bulky controllers needed. The achromatic 80 mm lens delivers clear, chromatic‑aberration‑reduced views, while the included eyepieces and erect‑image prism make both astronomy and terrestrial observation convenient.

Whether you’re a first‑time stargazer or looking for a travel‑friendly, capable scope for backyard astronomy, this Vixen setup offers reliable performance and ease of use in a portable package.

  • Wireless GoTo & control: Control your mount via smartphone/tablet with the included wireless unit and app — no hand‑controller required.

  • Compact, portable refractor: 80 mm aperture, 910 mm focal length (f/11.4) — enough light‑gathering for lunar, planetary, and many deep‑sky targets while easy to transport.

  • High‑contrast optics: Achromatic, multi‑coated objective lens for sharp, true‑color images with minimized color fringing.

  • Versatile for terrestrial viewing: Supplied erect‑image prism allows for land observation.

  • Stable mount & tripod: Motorized equatorial mount with smooth worm‑and‑wheel gears, retractable counterweight bar, and sturdy aluminum tripod for stable observation.
