High Precision Equatorial Mount Applicable to Long Exposure Astrophotography
The Vixen GPD2 has the appearance of the compact and easy-to-handle GP2, but it has performance and sturdiness that outrank the GP. Both the RA and DEC axes are made of durable steel and the worm screw gears are machined to a very precise tolerance. The sturdy tripod quickly dampens Vibration to provide stable and smooth operation.
A wide selection of optional accessories, to meet your observation needs, is available for the GPD2 mount. The GPD2 equatorial mount series is an excellent choice for anyone desiring a simple, yet sturdy mount to start exploring a starry night's sky.
