Vixen VMC200-LDG 200mm Diameter Catadioptric Telescope Optical Tube

The VMC200L is a unique design that employs a meniscus corrector lens along with two high-precision spherical mirrors to help eliminate spherical aberration and yield a sharp image with no hint of false color.

The VMC200L offers excellent performance for both visual and photographic use. The open tube design eliminates the dew problem that is common with conventional Schmidt-Cassegrain systems and its compact size makes it very easy to handle.

The rack and pinion focuser accepts 2 eyepieces and accessories with an adapter. This is a telescope suitable for observation of all types of celestial objects. The New VMC200LDG benefits from a lighter-weight optical tube with improved anti reflection coatings, a metal carrying handle and now comes standard with a 7x50 finderscope, a flip mirror and 232mm tube rings, as well as being compatible with the new Sphinx mount.

The 7x50 achromatic finder has a field of view of 6.8" and a Kellner type eyepiece. The optical path can be switched easily with the changeover knob of the Flip Mirror system, allowing swift transitions from star watching to astronomical photography. There is no change of the focus point even when switching the optical path. A T-ring attachment thread is provided for direct focus photography.
