Vixen - R130Sf 130mm Newtonian Reflector Telescope and Starbook S Package with GP2 Mount

This lightweight 5" reflector is a favorite of many new astronomers because it features remarkable light gathering with sharp images for its price and size. With a standard 20mm Plossl more than the entire moon fills the eyepiece. You'll view innumerable star clusters and dark clouds, not to mention nebulas and galaxies. Add a 32mm and the heavens open up with a remarkable 2.5 degree field of view! All of the stars in the Pleiades can be viewed at the same time. The visual observer will enjoy wide views of deep sky objects. Actual groups of nebula or clusters can be viewed at the same time with this instrument. The R130Sf comes standard with the 6 x30 finder and dovetail tube plate that fits very well on all the Vixen mounts. This is a scope you can start with on a basic user-friendly Porta Mount and later move up to one of our electronic mounts such as the Skypod or Sphinx.

StarBook GOTO System

The latest option for the GP2 and GPD2 mounts is the new STARBOOK S which incorporates Vixen's legendary GOTO controller with
BUILT IN STAR CHART that shows you exactly where the telescope is pointing and displays "what's up" right now. 

The included (and upgradeable) software contains a 22,000 object database giving the user an endless variety of objects to view.
Included are drop down menus of different categories of celestial objects, including Stars, Planets, Messier, NGC and other famous
objects. Each sub menu only lists the objects that are available to be viewed at that time. This eliminates the frustration of
other GOTO systems that don't tell you the object is below the horizon until after you have selected it. With the Vixen Starbook
you will spend more time viewing and less time searching.
