Featuring stable and high-contrast images, the Vixen Optics SX2-A105MII Refractor Telescope is an excellent package for the new astronomer. The A105MII optical tube with 105mm effective aperture offers light gathering power about 225x that of an unaided eye. It is intended for observation at high magnification and viewing of faintly glowing celestial objects. The achromatic lens delivers clear images with minimal chromatic aberration. The lens bears three layers of anti-reflection coatings for reducing loss of light and increasing image contrast.

With precision pulse motors and micro-step motion control, the SX2 mount is an excellent performer with smooth response. It comes with the STAR BOOK ONE handheld controller, which features versatile tracking rates, adjustable slewing speed, backlash compensation, an autoguider port, PEC, and more. The package includes eyepieces and a sturdy SXG-HAL 130 aluminum tripod.
