Vixen's Sphinx SXP Mount was derived from the state of the art AXD Mount. The SXP has a more precise and rugged
construction and components than the Sphinx SXD2. While many features may be comparable, the Sphinx SXP Mount
was designed as a lightweight, but solid equatorial mount for astrophotography enthusiasts.
