This package is a step up over the GP2 package and is designed for the astronomer who wants to grow their system.

The GPD2 equatorial mount is the stronger and heftier of the GP mounts. With its solid steel R. A. and Declination axes and brass worm gears this mount will hold up to years of heavy use. In order to assure accurate tracking for astrophotography the worm gears are especially machined to a very high precision that minimizes periodic error. Add the new Vixen Starbook S with built in starchart for complete Go-To capabilities. Vixen's ED100Sf apochromatic refractor has extra-low dispersion (ED) lens which depresses residual aberration to ahcieve a high level of performance. The ED100Sf features the Crayford focuser for smooth focusing without backlash. Coupled with a medium f/9.0 focal ratio the ED "S" series provide a sharp color-free image of high contrast. For the astronomer that wants the best value for the dollar in a 4” APO this is the one to get.
