Product description

More about the series Porta...

The Vixen AC 70/900 optics:

The A70Lf refractor is an ideal entry-level model for beginners in astronomy. The 70 mm achromatic Fraunhofer lens delivers outstanding quality thanks to Vixen's quality controls. The telescope comes with eyepieces and diagonal mirrors, so it is ready to use straight out of the box.

Explore the moon and the brighter planets with the A70Lf. Thanks to the low aperture ratio, no colour fringing disturbs your observation of the planets. On moonless nights, you can observe the Andromeda Nebula or the Orion Nebula. With the included finder, you can easily locate these celestial objects.

The advantages at a glance:

  • Inexpensive
  • uncomplicated
  • Quick to set up

Ready for immediate use and easy to operate!

The Mini Porta mount allows you to operate your telescope manually with maximum flexibility. It is ideal as a starter and travel mount for amateur astronomers, but also suitable for observing the Earth.

The advantages at a glance:

  • Thanks to the 360° fine movement, you can make manual swivels without restriction; the Porta mount moves your telescope wherever you want it to go.
  • The integrated friction clutch eliminates the need for clamping levers and can be adjusted to your requirements in terms of smoothness using a standard tool that can be stored in the mount. You can then use the ergonomic handles to fine-tune and track the desired celestial object.
  • The dovetail system (compatible with the GP and Sphinx mounts) allows you to balance your telescope precisely.
  • Depending on the type of telescope, you can adjust the angle of the fine movements by up to 45°.
  • The dovetail system allows the mounting of telescopes with an outer diameter of up to 119 mm.

The Mini-Porta is the best azimuth mount in its weight class!
