While
the outsides might look similar to the standard Sphinx Mount, the
changes that have happened under the hood are huge! Incorporating one
piece hardened steel RA and DEC shafts with needle bearings throughout,
the new Sphinx D can handle a load capacity up to 50 lbs. The Sphinx D comes complete with PEC and the incredibly accurate SX Polar Finder Scope.
Astronomers
with larger optical tubes and all level of astrophotographers are sure
to feel right at home with the intuitive controls that so many have
become accustomed to with the standard Sphinx Mount. Its 4.7" Color LCD
Display gives an exact position against its scrolling star chart, any
object is a point and look away!
The
innovative 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.
Zoom-In/Out buttons for the color star chart display also control the
motor speed. As you zoom in closer to an object on the 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 SPHINX D accessible to a wide range
of ages and experience levels. |
