More about the series Porta...
The Vixen VMC optics: This compact, small reflector is ideal for travelling, as it fits in almost any backpack, but still has very decent imaging performance. The long focal length is particularly suitable for observing the moon and planets, where high magnification is important.
The integrated folding mirror unit allows for very comfortable viewing from two different positions and also allows a camera to be connected at the same time. There is a T2 thread on the eyepiece holder for attaching a T2 ring for your camera.
Another advantage of this optics is the curved secondary mirror spider, which reduces diffraction phenomena, and the meniscus lens in front of the secondary mirror, which ensures a compact tube with a long focal length. Since the meniscus is integrated into the secondary mirror in the optical design of the Vixen Maksutovs, there is no need for a heavy glass plate. This makes the telescope comparatively light and better protected against fogging than Maksutov optics from other manufacturers.
The advantages at a glance:
- Ideal for travelling: short and light.
- Versatile, but also a real moon and planet specialist!
- Integrated folding mirror unit
- Prism rail with camera tripod thread
Mobile Porta: A small but excellent transportable mount: Ideal for a quick observation without time-consuming set-up, or for travel.
The new compact design and low weight makes the Mobile Porta ready for use in just a few simple steps, and very portable. The new multi-arm is easy to adjust to the correct angle before observation, so that for each application and each instrument a comfortable viewing position is possible: from the view of the valley, up to the zenith - even with long focal length refractors.
The foldable multi-arm is also especially compact for transport - a well thought-out design!
In addition to these new features the Mobile Porta also offers the tried and tested characteristics of the Porta range such as slipper clutch and slow motion.
