Re: Vixen Sphinx vs SXD

I've got the SXW and like it alot. I use a computer LCD privacy filter from 3M and the Vixen suppiled neutral density filters to kill the LCD glare. Each one is on velcro so I can adjust the amount of light for sky conditions. The SXW is ok for a 9.25 visually ONLY though.
the biggest scope I put on mine is a 6" Newtonian.
Once Vixen gets the firmware right, this mount IMHO would be a killer mount because the hardware is just excellent. Mine is also very quiet for a GoTo. The SXD is probably somewhat louder because it has stronger motors I imagine.
Since I'm visual, I usually don't bother with the polar scope. I just sight through the dovetail slot and almost always have accurate GoTo slews.
