Abstract
The Star Book TEN represents the latest, most powerful, most capable, and the most current of the Star Book series of Vixen’s GoTo computer controllers for the Sphinx line of equatorial mounts. TEN in Japanese means “The Heavens”, and is not any reference to the version number of the software or hardware. Designed specifically to drive the new stepper pulse motors that operate at 250 pulses per second (pps), the Star Book TEN provides smooth, quiet, and accurate movement of the Sphinx mount (Fig. 3.1 and Table 3.1).
