Vixen AXJ GoTo Mount with Star Book Ten Controller
€5,990.00*
€7,499.00*
(20.12% saved)
Designed as a complement to the AXD2 equatorial mount, the AXJ mount offers outstanding durability and precision.
The AXJ mount can also be used on AXD-TR102 tripods with an adapter.
Periodic errors on mounts are usually measured and corrected by the user. Unlike the old StarBook controller, the STAR BOOK TEN controller saves these errors permanently. The periodic error of the mount is measured in the factory (total of 12 points per 30 degrees worm gear) and corrected before delivery. This is known as V-PEC and functions automatically as soon as you use the mount. It delivers an accuracy of +/- 4.0 arc seconds. You can increase the tracking accuracy further by saving your own recorded periodic errors.
Vixen uses a new Belt-drive system in the AXJ mount. The gear drive was replaced with a toothed belt drive.
This gives the mount a quicker reaction time and lower backlash. It also helps to minimize noise. The 6x20 polar finder scope is pre-installed.
This allows the user to configure the polar alignment (for both the northern and southern hemispheres).
The polar finder scope has a variable illuminated reticle with an automatic power-off function. The brightness can be adjusted in 8 levels so that the user can configure the desired brightness.
SETTING ACCURACY OF LESS THAN 3 ARC MINUTES
The dark field illumination (red LED) turns on when the push button is pressed. The reticle also lights up in red so that the observer can recognize and align stars in the background of the reticle. The light turns off automatically after a few minutes to save battery power.
2 bearing sets (4 pieces) are used for the shaft of the RA axis. Thanks to the newly developed EQ design, the ZXJ mount has a higher load capacity of 22 kg.
As the motors, worm shaft and worm gear are located in the lower part of the mount, fewer counterweights are required than with conventional mounts.
The STAR BOOK TEN controller is a modern control system with a high-resolution colour monitor.
The STAR BOOK TEN system contains more than 272,000 celestial objects, including 260,000 stars from the SAO catalogue, 109 Messier objects, 7840 NGC objects and 5380 IC objects, as well the soon, moon and planets. Objects can be accessed by name, and information such as images and data can be defined separately.

EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC OPTOLONG 1.25" L-Pro Deep-Sky Light Pollution Filter
€169.00*
LPS filter L-Pro for deep sky nebula constellation photography.The relentless spread or urbanization and its associated light pollution
have become a growing problem for all amateur astro photographers. The
current solutions to the problem can be expensive and might include the
purchase of a monochrome camera, several types of narrowband filters and
a filter wheel. Especially with inexpensive newtonian telescopes,
double-lens ED refractors or even achromats, the L-Pro filters open
up completely new possibilities for the capture of high-class
astronomical images even out of the light polluted city. CMOS cameras
can deliver images like monochrome cameras. This new generation of
filters makes it possible to take amazing astrophotos directly from the
light-polluted city with all its artificial light sources.
L-Pro is a multi-bandpass filter which offers better color balance by
maximizing the transmission band. The balanced transmission allows
astrophotos to be taken with minimal color cast to broadband emission
objects such as galaxies, reflection nebulae and globular star clusters.
L-Pro is the best choice for light pollution suppression. L-Pro description L-Pro
(L-Professional) filter is designed to improve the visibility of
various deepsky objects. By selectively reducing the transmission of
wavelengths of light pollutants, specifically those produced by
artificial lightings including mercury vapor lamps, both high & low
pressure sodium vapor lights and the unwanted natural light caused by
neutral oxygen emission in our atmosphere (i.e. skyglow). Together with
the highly transparent in main nebula emission lines at OIII (496nm and
500nm), H-beta (486nm), NII (654nm and 658nm), H-alpha (656nm) as well as
SII (672nm), the filter is suitable for enhancing the contrast and
details for both visual and photograghic purpose at sub-rural areas with
heavy light pollution.
L-Pro is a multi-bandpass filter which offers better color balance by
maximizing the transmission band. The balanced transmission allows
astrophotos to be taken with minimal color cast to broadband emission
objects such as galaxies, reflection nebulae and globular star clusters.
L-Pro is the best choice for light pollution suppression. Main use and performance Suitable
for visual observation and astrophotography.
L-Pro filter has a very low transmission reduction rate against
continuous spectrum space objects, and thus is quite effective in
suppressing light pollution sources when shooting galaxies, reflection
nebulae and globular star clusters. The same holds true for visual star
observations.
L-Pro filter alone can suppress infrared wavelength, and thus can be
used at ease for ''L'' image shootings with CCDs.
Light pollution filters do not eliminate the effects of light pollution
or increase the object’s brightness. In many cases, they increase the
contrast between nebula and night sky, not brightening the nebula. WARNING: These nebula filters are not designed for sun observation. DO NOT LOOK AT THE SUN WITH THIS FILTER. You will go BLIND if you ignore this warning.Coating technology L-Pro has a multiple anti-reflective coating on the optical substrate. The L-Pro filter uses a precision coating based on ion deposition coating technology. This ensures durability and scratch resistance as well as stability on the CWL (central wavelength), which is not affected by temperature changes. Absolute precision and homogeneity of the coatings as well as maximum values for transmission in the passband and optical density in the off-band range are guaranteed for all filters.FEATURES Professional visual and photographic filter for astronomy Improves deep sky nebula constellation photography Best choice for broadband light pollution suppressionFilter diameter: 1.25 inch / 31.7mm Connecting thread: M28.5 x 0.6mm (Eyepiece thread 1.25 inch)Selected optical glass material Spectrum: 380-750nmSurface Quality: 60/40 (Refer to MIL-O-13830) Fine-optically polished glass to ensure accurate 1/4 wavefront and highest parallelism over the both surfaces High transmission at major nebula emission lines (i.e. H-alpha 656nm, OIII 496nm&500nm, SII 672nm and H-beta 486nm)Precision
