The Vixen SXD2WL‑AX103S (ES25043) is a deluxe telescope kit that brings together a high-quality 103 mm SD apochromatic refractor tube, a motorized equatorial mount with wireless GoTo control, and a sturdy adjustable tripod — offering superb performance for both visual astronomy and astrophotography.
The SD-glass optics deliver exceptional color correction and crisp, distortion-free views from center to edge, making this telescope ideal for observing planets, nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies. With its 825 mm focal length (F/8) and 103 mm aperture, the AX103S strikes a balance between detailed lunar/planetary observations and wide-field deep-sky capability.
Paired with the SXD2WL mount featuring modern worm-and-wheel gears and stepping motors, the setup provides smooth, accurate tracking and GoTo slewing — all controllable from a smartphone or tablet. The included tripod ensures stable, reliable support whether you’re observing from your backyard or traveling to a darker site.
This complete, ready-to-use package is ideal for astronomy enthusiasts who want high optical performance and modern convenience in one kit.
