Product description

Vixen VC200L

This refracter is particularly ideal for astrophotography, since it delivers a perfectly smooth, truecolour picture across the whole small-size picture format. Due to the three-lense field correction in front of the secondary mirror, abberations, coma or curving never occur. Optimized for phototgraphical interests, it can of course be used for visual observation, too.

Features:

  • ideal for astrophotography
  • hardly any colour abberations

Vixen Sphinx Deluxe mounting

While the outsides might look similar to the standard Sphinx Mount, the changes that have happened under the hood are huge! Incorporating one piece hardened steel RA and DEC shafts with needle bearings throughout, the new Sphinx D can handle a load capacity up to 50 lbs. The Sphinx D comes complete with PEC, backlash compensation, and the incredibly accurate SX Polar Finder Scope.

Astronomers with larger optical tubes and all level of astrophotographers are sure to feel right at home with the intuitive controls that so many have become accustomed to with the standard Sphinx Mount. Its 4.7" Color LCD Display gives an exact position against its scrolling star chart, any object is a point and look away!
