Vixen Optics VC200L 8" Reflector Telescope with Sphinx SXW Mount, 1950mm Focal Length, 200mm Aperture, f/9.75 Focal Ratio, 816x Light Gathering Power

The Vixen Optics VC200L Telescope with Sphinx SXW Mount is a highly corrected 8.0" f/9.0 catadioptric telescope for astro imaging. Its sophisticated aspherical optical design delivers excellent image correction throughout its large 42mm illuminated field. The VC200L is designed for astro imaging - at the edge of a 35mm SLR format stars remain sharp (< 15 um).

This level optical performance is comparable to the resolving power of fine quality digital imaging systems. Employing the optional f/6.4 reducer significantly shortens exposure times. Vixen Optics has fitted the VCL200L's OTA with a piggy-back camera holder - this allows taking photos through the telescope while using a second camera in parallel to the OTA. Additionally, the VC200L can be used to guide the secondary imaging system.
