More about the series Porta...
Vixen Ap 80/600
The ED80Sf refractor with Vixen's new Dual Speed Focuser, features high-grade glass (FPL-53) and quality components. Coupled with a medium f/7.5 focal ratio, the ED "S" series provides a sharp, color-free image of high contrast. At only 22.4", this is our ultimate grab-n-go APO travel scope.
The Porta II is a solid altazimuth mount with a 20lb payload capacity and features Slow Motion Flexible Handles to minimize vibrations and keep your view sharp. This is very useful in searching and tracking celestial objects.
The mount head is easily removed to allow for a switch to a heavier tripod. In addition, this is a great mount for terrestrial viewing. With no locks or clutches, our gear drives make it a simple matter to precisely track a planet or a ship on the horizon by turning the elevation and/or azimuth control handles. The Porta II Mount features slow motion control of both axes, solid central bolt for easy tripod change, flex handles and accessory tray.
