Unlock stunning celestial views with the Vixen SX2WL‑SD103S (ES25023) — a premium all-in-one telescope kit featuring a high-performance 103 mm SD apochromatic refractor tube, a motorized equatorial mount with wireless control (SX2WL), and a robust adjustable tripod (SXG-HAL130). This setup delivers excellent light-gathering power, clear, high-contrast images, and the convenience of modern GoTo tracking — ideal for both visual observation and astrophotography.

The SD103S optical tube suppresses chromatic aberration, delivering crisp, sharp views of planets, nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies. Its 795 mm focal length (f/7.7) balances wide-field deep-sky observation and detailed planetary or lunar viewing. A flip-mirror diagonal enables quick switching between two eyepieces or between eyepiece and camera — making both visual use and imaging convenient.

Paired with the SX2WL mount, the telescope offers motorized GoTo and tracking, controllable from your smartphone or tablet via the wireless unit. The included large aluminum tripod provides stable support for dependable setup in backyard or field conditions.

Key Features:

  • 103 mm SD Apochromatic Objective Lens: Reduces chromatic aberration for clean, sharp, high-contrast images.

  • 795 mm Focal Length (f/7.7): Wide enough for deep-sky objects yet suitable for high-magnification lunar and planetary observation.

  • Flip-Mirror Diagonal: Quick switching between eyepieces or eyepiece ↔ camera for imaging convenience.

  • Motorized Equatorial Mount with Wireless GoTo (SX2WL): Smooth, accurate tracking and object locating via smartphone/tablet.

  • Stable Aluminum Tripod (SXG-HAL130): Adjustable and sturdy, suitable for backyard or field use.

  • Complete Kit: Includes optical tube, mount, tripod, eyepieces, flip-mirror, finder, counterweight — everything needed to start observing.
