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

Aluminium vacuum coating system:

Vixen has developed a unique aluminium vacuum coating system which creates extremely precise mirror surfaces. This revolutionary system allows the controlled coating of the primary mirror and so achieves a very high degree of accuracy. This coating is used with both the VC200L, as well as the R200SS.

It not only matters which telescope you buy but also where you buy it. Our additional services:

  • We are a leading telescope dealer and know the devices we sell. Our customer service team will gladly help you after your purchase if you have problems with assembly or operation.
  • We provide a copy of the 80-page "Telescope ABC" beginners handbook with every telescope.
