Vixen ED115SWT with Sphinx SXW Mount (Item #95034)

The new ED 115S lens focuses the full visible spectrum of visible light to a critical point much more accurately than past ED product. The ED115S lenses are almost free of chromatic aberration in all colors and are critically sharp edge to edge. The astro-photographer will be especially pleased with the high contrast images through this telescope.

The ED 115S features

  • A newly designed high definition ED lens that gives excellent optical performance with a short optical tube for easy handling.
  • Brighter images from the shorter f/7.7 focal ratio and capture crisp, pinpoint star images for your eye’s enjoyment.
  • The ED115S lenses are made with environment-friendly technologies, free of hazardous lead that helps to support a cleaner global environment.
  • The optical tube comes equipped with a metal carry handle for easy one-hand carrying.

The SPHINX comes standard with built in motors and the world's first star chart go-to controller, STARBOOK, with a large full color LCD display. The Sphinx’s design is exceptional and the exterior styling is equally attractive. The STARBOOK features a display on the large color screen and are navigated with simple buttons on the controller. The STARBOOK is easy to use and makes the SPHINX available to a wide range of ages and experience levels. The STARBOOK incorporates a large astronomical database with 22,725 celestial objects. A LAN Port within the controller allows for computer control and network connectivity
