Vixen Telescope AP-A62SS-SM Description

  • Highly compact and lightweight A62SS optical tube.

    A short tube achromatic refractor with retractable dew shield. The overall size can be changed as short as about 30cm in length. The weight of the optical tube is only 1.8kg although it is durably made of metal. Its compact and lightweight optical tube matches well with the AP mount. The telescope comes with two eyepieces of long eye relief that yield magnification of 35x and 130x. The moon, planets and bright Messier objects are enjoyable with this model.

  • An easy to transport optical tube in combination with a compact AP mount.

    The AP mount consists of several modules and/or units that are joined together to make a highly portable German equatorial mount of excellent quality. The lightweight AP mount matches well with the A62SS optical tube. A total weight of the AP mount package is less than 10kg including the optical tube and Aluminum tripod. It is a highly compact telescope for a grab and go observing and you can take it to camping, travelling and anywhere. The telescope can be moved quickly by hand to your target object by means of the smooth friction control mechanism of the AP mount. With the available R.A motor module that is complete with the STAR BOOK ONE controller, it is easy to accurately track celestial objects.

  • Expandable AP modules and units.

    The AP mount is composed of sectional modules and units. It can be easily rearranged or upgraded for your specific need. For example, this product can be modified to an AP Photo Guider by adding the R.A motor modue and STAR BOOK ONE set plus the PG mount head set. An addition of the AP mounting base post will change it to an APZ alt-azimuth mount. An optional Polar alignment scope allows for acurate tracking in long exposure astrophotography.

  • A wide variety of optional accessories

    A wide selection of optional accessories are available for the AP mount to meet your observation needs.
