Vixen Atlux Equatorial Mount
The Vixen Atlux is a mid-sized GoTo equatorial mount that has been newly designed to work with the StarBook hand controller. The Vixen Atlux mount is engineered and manufactured to offer the best slewing and tracking performance in an easily transportable package.
The innovative Vixen Star Book hand controller offers astronomical navigation with a large full-color LCD screen! The color screen is a detailed star chart that acts as a navigational and GOTO guide for the mount. The Zoom In and Zoom Out buttons for the color star chart display also control the motor speed. As you zoom in closer to an object on the Vixen Starbook's display screen, the motor speed automatically becomes finer and as you zoom out the motor speed increases to cover larger distances. Features and menu options are displayed on the large color screen and are easily navigated with simple buttons on the controller. The Star Book is amazingly easy to use and makes the Atlux available to a wide range of ages and experience levels.
