Vixen has been making versions of the GP mount almost since the inception of the company. It originally started out as the Polaris Mount then evolved through refinements as the Great Polaris Mount and with further refinements now as the GPD2 Mount. As with all versions the GPD2 incorporates the same care and precision that is evident in all Vixen products. This includes 100% inspection and testing on the drive gears of all mounts. You can rest assured that when you purchase a GPD2 mount it is going to work right out of the box. To give you added assurance when this mount is purchased through an authorized Vixen Optics dealer your 5 year warranty is included.

Clear Skies MrStarGuyThe 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. The GPD2 Mount is equipped with a polar axis scope with a built in illuminator. The GPD2 holds almost 50% more weight than the GP2. Add the STAR BOOK-S for full go-to capabilities.
