Vixen - ED103S 103mm ED Apochromatic Refractor Telescope and Starbook S Package with GPD2 Mount

The newly designed high definition ED lens on the ED103S gives excellent optical performance with a short optical tube for easy
handling. The new ED lenses feature brighter images from the shorter f/7.7 focal ratio and capture crisp, pinpoint star images for
your eye's enjoyment. The new ED103S 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 new lenses focus the full visible
spectrum of visible light to a critical point much more accurately than past ED product. The ED103S 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.

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.
