High-resolution encoder kit for Vixen AXJ mounts
This user installable high-precision encoder kit allows to virtually remove any tracking error of the Vixen AXJ mount. The RA encoder has a reading precision of 0.1", lowering down residual tracking error to only 0.5" RMS. Dec axis encoder has a reading precision of 0.2".

Features
High precision encoder to dramatically enhance performance of the AXJ equatorial mount. The encoder permits release of clamp while link to the cordinate of the STAR BOOK TEN controller is maintained, which is very useful to introduce celestial objects by moving optical tube by hands.
High precision tracking
The AXJ encoder monitors tracking of the mount with resolution of 0.1 arc sec in RA (0.2 arcsec in DEC axis). Even very small periodic motion of the high precision AXJ mount will be detected for further accurate tracking.
Built-in design
The encoder is designed to be built in the equatorial mount for smooth handling and storage.
