The Vixen SXP2‑AX103S (ES25132‑SO) is a high‑performance all-in-one telescope kit that combines a 103 mm triplet SD‑glass apochromatic refractor, a heavy‑duty SXP2 equatorial mount, and a sturdy aluminum tripod — delivering excellent optical quality, strong mount stability, and immediate readiness for both observation and astrophotography.

The SD‑glass optics provide superior color correction and sharp, distortion‑free images across the field, making this telescope ideal for viewing planets, star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies. With an 825 mm focal length (F/8) and versatile focal ratio, the AX103S balances detailed lunar/planetary views with deep‑sky capability.

The SXP2 mount offers high rigidity, smooth worm‑and‑wheel gearing plus belt‑drive motor tracking, ensuring accurate slewing and stable tracking for both visual observing and long-exposure imaging. For those who want reliable performance and flexibility in one package, this kit delivers a balanced combination of power, precision, and portability.

Key Features

  • 103 mm SD apochromatic objective lens — premium SD-glass optics with multi-coating produce sharp, high‑contrast, color-accurate images with minimal chromatic aberration.

  • 825 mm focal length (F/8) — versatile focus ratio suitable for planetary detail, nebulae, star clusters, and wide/deep-sky observation.

  • Flat‑field, distortion‑free performance — built-in field-corrector lenses ensure sharp star images across the entire field, excellent for astrophotography and visual use.

  • Complete mount + tripod kit (SXP2 + adjustable aluminum tripod) — strong support and stable tracking, ideal for a wide range of telescope setups.

  • Ready-to-use package — includes refractor tube, mount, tripod, finder scope, eyepieces (SLV 20 mm & SLV 5 mm), mounting hardware, and counterweights.
