Vixen 95868 NA140SSf 140mm Refractor Telescope with Sphinx SXW Mount features a two element secondary lens at the rear of the optical telescope tube to
provide a flatter field of view (Petzval design). Spherical aberration and field curvature are less than 1/3 to 1/5 of standard doublet refractors. Pair this Vixen 140mm 95868 Telescope with the SPHINX equatorial mount and you have a great telescope system. The STARBOOK controller has been intelligently engineered for high-speed automatic location of celestial objects. It is now possible to explore the beauty of the night sky with greater ease and stability. The sphinx sxw mount comes standard with built in motors and the world's first star chart go-to controller, STAR-BOOK, with a large full color LCD display. The Vixen Sphinx 's design is exceptional and the exterior styling is equally attractive.
