Description

Vixen GP-2 equatorial mount - made in Japan
... precise mount for nearly all fields of astronomy

Vixen GP2

(Depicted with optional counterweight)

The Original
Often copied, never reached... the Vixen GP is the benchmark for optimal medium-class mounts for more than a decade now. Its stiffness, precision and upgradability are unparalleled. Astro photographers like the precise and adjustable worm gears. Thanks to its compact dimensions, it can be set up quickly. Many motor drive systems (with and without GoTo) can be added.

The optional polar viewfinder (see accessories section below) allows precise polar alignment. Its original GP dovetail clamp system is the ideal interface for nearly all kinds of telescopes.

With the standard mount base, many tripods can be chosen (see accessories section below).

Scope of delivery:

Mount with manual controls for R.A. and Dec. Tripod, prism rail and counterweight optional.
