Description
Vixen R200SS Telescope has remarkably fast 200mm (8") f/4 parabolic primary mirror of the Vixen R200SS Newtonian reflector gives extremely sharp images with no chromatic aberration. The use of state-of-the-art coating technology yields the ideal surface for its f/4 primary mirror. The visual observer will enjoy wide views of deep sky objects.

The telescope's large aperture and compact body make it ideally suited for astrophotography of nebulae, star clusters and comets. The use of the optional coma corrector allows for a sharp coma-free image from edge to edge and the rack and pinion focusing mount, with an adapter, accepts 2 eyepieces. The R200SSDG has 7x50 finder, 232mm tube rings, dovetail tube plate and new focus design with more distance for photographic equipment, as well as being compatible with the new Sphinx SXD mount.

Vixen's Sphinx SXD Mount is designed with improved rigidity and precision movements. The SXD features solid steel motors, thrust bearings and smooth RA and DEC motors. With a maximum load weight of 50 lbs, the SXD mount will hold the R200 with ease.
