Vixen R200SS Reflector Telescope
€1,799.00*
The R200SS features very fast f4 200 mm optics with a parabolic primary mirror and produces extremely sharp images with no chromatic aberration. A special layer made using state-of-the-art technology provides an optimal surface for observing and photographing deep-sky objects.
The large aperture and short size make this device ideal for astrophotography of nebulae, star clusters and comets. The use of an optional coma corrector provides a sharp image until the edges of the field of view. The focuser features a socket for 2-inch eyepieces.
Vixen has developed a unique aluminium vacuum evaporation system that produces extreme precision mirror surfaces. The revolutionary Vixen system allows for controlled coating of the primary mirror for greater accuracy. This coating is used on both the VC200L and the R200SS.
FEATURES
Very quick 200 mm F 4.0 optics
Focal length: 800 mm
Resolution and limiting magnitude: 0.58, 13.3
Light-gathering power: 816x

Vixen VC200L Optical tube
€2,299.09*
Astrophotographers generally use two different focal lengths: Short focal lengths for overview photos and extensive deep-sky objects, and long focal lengths for objects which are further away. Our aspherical mirror optics offer the perfect solution for these scenarios. The VISAC primary mirror (Vixen Sixth-Order Aspheric Cassegrain) is specially designed for astrophotography and provides a fully flat and true-colour image over the entire image frame. Thanks to the three-element field corrector in front of the convex secondary mirror, there is no spherical aberration, coma or field curvature. Although the device is designed for astrophotography, it is also suitable for visual observations.

The declination body unit allows you to expand the AP Photoguider to a complete equatorial AP mount with mototized RA and DC axes.
You can move and track the mount in both axes.
In addition, you will need the Manual Fine Adjustment Module, or the DEC motor module, as well as the
AP counterweight rod and a counterweight.
The counter weights of the SX mount series can all be used on the counter weight rod.
The APZ counter weight can also be attached to this unit.
The built-in battery compartment serves as an additional power supply and is powered by 4 AA batteries.
