High Speed Internal CPU (32 bit RISC processor, 75MHz, 8MB SDRAM, 4MB Flash ROM upgradeable)
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, the motor speed 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 navigated with simple buttons on the controller.
The STAR BOOK is easy to use and makes the SPHINX available to a wide range of ages and experience levels.
A large astronomical database that maps 22,725 celestial objects.
A LAN Port within the controller for flash upgrades.
An auto-guider port comes standard on all controllers. A flash ROM download allows for compatibility with SBIG ST auto guiders - see Technical Documents and Notes on VixenAmerica.com Sphinx page.
